I recently stayed in Cape May, and received a Historic Trolley Tour ticket as part of the package I booked. I am so glad that I decided to take the tour. It was very interesting, a slow ride all around the heart of Cape May, with an excellent tour guide. The guide was very knowledgable and you cannot visit Cape... More

Since we haven't been to Cape May for some time, we decided to do the trolley tour and get familiar with it again. I would highly recommend it. 45 minute tour= worth the money.

This tour was part of our weekend package and it was a nice added extra adventure during our first visit to Cape May. The guide who narrated the tour was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and witty as well. She included the history and facts along with some interesting tidbits. It was nice to see the different homes and architecture... More

This trolley tour is a good way to see the Victorian architecture and learn about Cape May's history. The tour takes about 45 minutes and you can also buy tickets to visit the Emlen Physick house (which I highly recommend). The tour guide was interesting and shared details about the historic preservation efforts in the 1960s and 1970s which saved... More

If you have 30 minutes and would like to see the old homes in Cape May at night - this is a fun little diversion. Trolley-ed around the town at night while having all the ghostly stories told over the PA. NOT very scary - but informative!

Beautiful views of the Victorian homes and ocean. Very informative. An inexpensive way to see the sights. The characters were wonderful story tellers. A pleasant time!

We took the Holiday Lights tour. The houses themselves were nothing special. The tour guide was great, very festive, had everyone singing Christmas carols. Drove by the houses the next day during daylight, and they are prettier in daylight than with the Christmas Lights at night. I would recommend going on regular tour and see the 'painted ladies' during daylight.... More

We took the Cape May Historic Trolley tour and spent a very pleasurable 2+1/2 hours touring the city, discussing the architecture of the homes and later visiting the Emlen Physick estate. Peggy, our tour guide was terrific and mixed history with a little humor to make the ride most enjoyable. The trolley part of the tour snakes in and around... More

This excellent 45 minute tour was so entertaining that it ended too soon. Hearing about the history and architecture of charming Cape May was facinating.

When in Cape May take one of the trolley tours- it's a great way to see the beautiful homes and hear some of the history of the area. Spend the extra time if you can and add a tour of the Physick Estate- what a place!
