Our family elected to go on the trolley ride tour of Hershey, PA. We were amazed at the good Mr. Hershey did for the community and what we learned about his continuing influence on children of the country with the Milton Hershey School. Enjoyable and a great use of our time.

This was well worth every penny.The trip was well narrated and gave a fascinating view of Hershey and Milton Hershey the man who built the town. Purchase your tickets early they sell out very quickly.

The Trolley ride was my absolute favorite. The seats are tight for two adults on the trolley but it was comfortable and clean on a chilly April day. The tour guide was amazing and you could tell he was passionate about Hershey and his job as conductor. It is really a great tour to get a background on Milton Hershey,... More

Pick up the Trolley at Hershey's Chocolate World. It was a fun and educational experience. The Trolley Tour varies a bit by season. My ride in March was wonderful (but more geared to adults); the summer and Christmas version is more little children friendly. This is an excellent overview of Hershey. Tour lasted over an hour, and our conductor and... More

We took this tour ride in August with our kids, then 13 and 8 and we couldn't stop laughing! The guides stood at the front of the trolley and took us back to Mr. Hershey's time. They began dressed as Mennonites and one guide kept getting off for costume changes. OMG, when he came back as the Swedish chef and... More

It was cold in February, but the ride, the tour, the history, and the two guides were fantastic. Learning the history of Hershey, and the generosity of Mr. Hershey, was inspirational. The ride was really worth it.

An entertaining short trolley tour on the history of Hershey town. We went last month on a weekend (December), and we had the Christmas version of the tour. Great to have Santa on board! Would have been much better if the tour was longer, and had one or two stops on some important landmarks where guests could hop off and... More

We love to do the trolley works ride, because it offers a great history, mixed with chocolate tasting to keep the kids entertained. That being said, the holiday version of the ride, was more of a show on wheels, no chocolate and a waste of money. You can see more on your own. That being said, please note that we... More
