Loved the historical narrative on the town’s namesake. The accounting oldies tunes was fun. Good way to get overview of the town & avoid the driving nightmare! We went on noon tour- the 1st one of the day. By the time we returned, the entire area was a sea of humanity so good luck driving out! Thanks to the tour rep who recommended getting to town by 9:00 a.m. - we got there at 8:30 & the parking lot & snagged one of a handful of remaining spot!!! HIGHLY recommend doing the same 😉!! Our tour guide, Rob, was a hoot! His historical narrative of Jim Thorpe was captivating. Don’t miss the bear in the woods!! While we waited for our tour, we grabbed coffee at Muggles - NOT WORTH THE WAIT - over 35 min IN LINE- then another 15 to get our coffee😳!

I appreciate the kind words about the trolley tour and service- but you only gave us 3 stars? I am thinking the 3 stars was for the traffic/ parking in town and long waits, but not to do with the trolley! If Viator allows updates to your reviews we would appreciate it as 3 stars will pull us down! Thanks!

We really enjoyed our trolley tour with our tour guide. He did a very nice job explaining everything and made it fun. Traffic was so busy but he handled that trolley so professionally.
