Edmonton Explorer provides the premier vintage trolley sightseeing experience in Alberta. Step aboard our 1920s-style Molly Trolleys, where friendly local guides share the stories, history, and hidden gems that bring Edmonton to life.

Edmonton is a big city with a lot to see, which means covering some ground. The Edmonton Explorer makes it easy by connecting the city's best spots, from the downtown Arts District all the way to West Edmonton Mall. Our trolleys run across two distinct routes, hitting 20 major stops along the way. With a reliable schedule and easy connection points, we take the stress out of navigating a large city, letting you move from downtown to the west end and everywhere in between, completely hassle-free.

Hop-on, Hop-off: Choose any of our 20 stops to start your day, jump off wherever you'd like to explore further, we will pick you up again later.

Predictable Schedules: Operating daily from 9am - 5pm across two distinct routes. The Central route operates on a 90-minute loop, and the Western route operates on a 2-hour loop. For complete schedules including pick up times at each stop, please visit edmontonexplorer.travel and scroll down to the schedule section of the homepage.
