Traveler reviews
Great introduction to Franklin and it’s history
The hop-on, hop-off tour was a great introduction to the Franklin area and its history. We rode the trolley the entire time and asked questions. The weather wasn't ideal, so we decided to drive to the plantation and go on our own. Not sure we would have visited the plantation or the battlefield without having learned so much about their meaning.
Fun even for Franklin locals, like us!
Informative and fun. We regularly enjoy the Trolley Tour, because so much information about Franklin is shared by Doug - we only remember 30% each time! Interesting Franklin facts by Doug; smooth, safe ride by Joe. Young and old enjoy the Trolley tour very much, and the option of getting off at a variety of different sights in Franklin, then being picked up an hour or so later is a wonderful benefit. Highly recommend!
