Our driver was the best! We had a group of 12 and from the moment we got to Hermann he already knew the vibe we were going for from the music to the conversation, he just made the whole day fun. He also made sure we made it back to our train on time. We wanted to stop at a few more places, but he knew being from there we weren't going to make it and talked us into heading to the stop early. I'm really glad he did because we would've missed it otherwise. I hate I can't remember his name i want to say it was John , but he really made our wine trip a great time. Definitely appreciated him for making everything smooth and fun. read more

Overall I recommend Hermann Trolley to get around Hermann during your visit. My wife and I spent the weekend in Hermann and used the Trolley to get out and visit the various wineries in the area. The concept is very simple, purchase your ticket, find a pickup spot and ride around. I recommend purchasing your ticket on-line prior to pick up, makes the whole process easier. One driver allowed folks to purchase tickets but it was cash only and delayed the rest of the bus, buy a head of time. Trolley's (and vans) are nice, well maintain and comfortable. The vehicles stay in constant movement, never waited more than 10 min for a ride. If you are uncomfortable waiting you can call dispatch and they will provide you the location of the nearest trolley and an estimated arrival time. The only thing missing is a route map, would like to know what order the stops are in, helps with our planning. Overall great experience! read more

This is the best way to check out all the wineries in Hermann. I love how you just hop on and off to whichever wineries you want to check out. Highly recommend buying tickets ahead of time. It cost about $32 for single day pass online. My only critique would be if the drivers would share tips. Most of time we had a different driver to each winery. My friends and I took turn tipping drivers. read more

Excellent day trip! The Trolley picks you up and visits all wineries and distilleries in Hermann. Thank you Patrick, Deb and John for a wonderful day. We will be back in October! On a side note: we checked the reviews and there is a new owner. So, just to be fair we had nothing negative to say at all. It was wonderful. read more

What a gem for Hermann! Patrick was so friendly and knowledgeable and willing to make our experience perfect!

Great service for tourists to visit all the wineries and distilleries safely. All the drivers are friendly and make the experience fun! I would highly recommend the trolley to anyone visiting Hermann. read more

How sad when a Prohibition reference goes unheard in Hermann. Sigh. Let me clarify the beef: Asking for an extra $5 to pay taxes is not cool. You're supposed to pay your taxes all the time. Are you telling me that tax is 25% in Hermann? Because that's the math on $5 on top of $25. So that's lining a pocket or paying taxes on the cash transactions of others. Either way, not supporting that. read more

Great experience! Picked us up and dropped us off at our Air BNB and many stops in between. Jeremiah was very accommodating.

This is a great service. We had several drivers but largely John. What a great guide he was. He had great suggestions since it was our first trip, we really appreciated it. Great sense of humor!! We never had a long wait after we called for a ride. This is definitely a great thing to utilize in Hermann. Keep up the good work guys! read more

When we first got to Hermann the first trolley guy we met was very friendly & personable. When we actually rode the trolley we got "The Grumpus"! Not sure if he was made he had to pick the 4 of us up or that he was working on a Saturday! The trolley was very clean though! Would be nice if they also gave you info about the town & it's history! read more

Here the thing.. I've used this several times. Used to be amazing! Most of the drivers are still super great! However, the last couple of times my Experience hasn't been amazing. I dislike saying that as most are great but it's not always . read more

The trolley rides were great except for one grouchy raging driver! All the drivers took us to the house except for the grouchy raging one

Pretty friendly staff took us any where they ask 20 bucks is a fair price every driver was super nice and they answered the phone on every call read more

Awesome service, fun drivers, great music, & so convenient. Taking the trolley is the best way to go if you are touring Hermann for the day. Hop on, hop off....& if you need a pick up give them a call & they'll come & get you. The drivers have great attitudes. Singing & dancing to some good music as you ride throughout wine country is the way to go. read more

My friend and I had a great day on the trolley! It was a rainy day, so the trolley was a welcome refuge from the rain. The cost is $20, we paid cash so might be good to have some on you! It being the winter, it was not very crowded. We had the same driver all day, Aaron. He was so friendly and helpful! They were fast with our pick ups and offered tips for around town. Aaron told us a great place for lunch, and even drove past our lunch place to make sure it was open as to not drop us off needlessly in the rain! Due to the rain, we were not able to get to one winery because of flooding, but I don't blame the trolley for that. I am thankful they kept us safe! If you buy wine, they allow you to keep it on the trolley so you don't need to lug it around. Aaron even dropped it off at where we were staying so we did not have to carry it around town! Thanks for a great day! read more

Unreliable; Does Not Honor Published Hours of Operation! Do not trust the published hours of operation or policies (no minimum; no reservations required) on their website. We visited Hermann one April Sunday and had planned to ride the trolley to visit wineries, distilleries, shops, etc. When we got into town, we phoned the business to get an idea of when it would be arriving near our stop. The proprietor told us that business was slow so he sent his driver home and would not be running that day. The trolley was an integral part of our planned visit to Hermann, and without an alternative mode of transportation (short of drinking and driving, which we would never do and which is why we planned to use the damn trolley in the first place), we cancelled our B&B reservation and drove home. Sorry Hermann wineries, shops, and restaurants: The unreliable trolley cost you sales that day. If you're planning the trolley as part of your visit, I'd STRONGLY recommend coming up with a plan B in case the same thing happens to you. read more

Great friendly service! We rode this around all day and it was worth $10/person. Kevin, our driver was awesome. He was upbeat, funny and kept everyone happy. We opted for the trolley because we didn't want to drive after visiting multiple wineries. Plus being Oktoberfest we knew traffic and parking in the small town would be a mess. This is a great option if you don't want to drive or came in on the train. They will take you around starting about 9 am - till late at night. I think their normal hours are till about 10pm, but during Oktoberfest they ran past midnight. They visit Hermannhof, Stone Hill, Adam Puchta, and Oak Glenn. They'll also take you any where in Hermann if they aren't too busy. Kevin will give you his cell so you can call him when you need a ride. They have two trollies and basically circle the town all day so you never have to wait more than 20 minutes if that for them. The only downside is that there's no a/c on the trolley and it can get pretty hot when the weather is warm. read more

Hermann Trolley - Transportation Near Me

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I called Kevin one month ago to let him know my husband and I would be coming into town. He said he'd be glad to take us around town and there would be a party that day/night but that we could join. I emailed 2 weeks prior to arrival verifying the trip and he again told us everything was good. I emailed him once again 3 days before arrival and told him when we'd be arriving (by train... mind you). He confirmed he would pick us up at the Amtrak station. Trip day comes.. I email to let him know we are on our way. No reply. I call him once we get to Hermann station and he claims the trolley "isn't running today". He said he would "call me back" and I never heard a word. Luckily, we were able to walk to some wineries/distilleries and a local uber driver was able to pick us up from there. Moral of the story: DON'T USE THIS SERVICE. HE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU WILL BE STRANDED. HE IS ONLY WORRIED ABOUT MAKING MONEY. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT PICKING YOU UP IF YOU ARE IN A LARGE GROUP. If he would've been honest from the beginning, I would've understood. I know it's hard to make money during the winter... and especially on small groups. I could've figured something else out. But we were left stranded and in a panic. Save yourself time and worry. Use Brandon. He is the local uber driver. Most businesses have his card. He picked us up last minute due to the unprofessional actions of this "business." He is 100000x more reliable than this "service". I will forever smear the name of Hermann Trolley to every single person I know. No one I know will use this service. If I could rate 0 stars... I would. read more

We had a great time riding the trolley the drivers were fun and the music was awesome. It was a hot day but they arrived in a timely manner and with their cheerful smiles. They will deliver your wine if you get on a different Trolley. Was definitely the highlight of our trip. Keep up the good bibes read more

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time in Hermann with the Hermann Trolley company. I gave them a call to pick us up from our bed and breakfast and they arrived at our doorstep within 5 minutes. Our driver also drove us to an ATM because we didn't realize they didn't accept debit/credit card. We got into town early afternoon and our driver did a great job prioritizing the wineries so that we were able to make the most of our afternoon. We weren't able to go to Oak Glen because the roads were icy but we went to Adam Puchta, Stone Hill, and Hermanhoff. Our driver gave us some history of the town and pointed out landmarks as we were riding from stop to stop. Everyone we contacted at the company was friendly and made every attempt to ensure we had a great time. We will definitely be using this company again when we visit Hermann in the future. read more

The Hermann Trolley is a must if you're visiting the area. The Trolley will pick your group up from wherever location you are at (we were picked up down the block from our house - just give them a call and they're on their way) and take you to a rotating list of wineries. Our first stop was Adam Puchta, then we went to Stone Hill, and once we were done, we asked them to drop us off at Tin Mill Brewery and they did! I believe there are about 4 or 5 trolleys and they're all on time. I think they stop by for drop off / pick ups every 15-20 minutes based on location. The trolleys themselves are nicely kept, clean, and the drivers are super friendly. They also play some great music on board. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a trolley wine tour in the small Missouri German town of Hermann...and it was awesome! You'll want to ride into town via Amtrak where they'll pick you up at the station--from then on it's up to you! For a mere $15 bucks per person you'll get a wristband that's good for the day. IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY! They have a few trolleys that run throughout the town so there's never a wait when calling to ask for a ride elsewhere. The wineries on their tour list are as follows: Stone Hill, Adam Puchta, Hermannhof, Star Lane / Three Saints, Oak Glenn, and Tin Mill Brewery. My personal favorite by far was Adam Puchta (review to follow). We even were able to dropped off at our hotel and the station next day. This trolley is definitely a party. The drivers all have personalities that really shine and keep you entertained. The energy on the trolley by the end of the night was incredible. It would be impossible to have a bad time here. read more

The trolley in Hermann is a brilliant idea! They have several different drivers that take you all around to the 5-6 wineries in the area all for only $15 a person for the day! This year we stayed a little ways out of town, but the trolley still came and picked our group up at the door! The drivers are all so courteous, each with their own fun personality! You can also leave any wine you buy on the trolley to pickup later, which is great so you can enjoy the day without lugging around heavy bottles/boxes of wine. I would definitely recommend the Hermann trolley as it keeps my friends and I coming back each year. Where else can you be driven around from winery to winery without any worry about making it back home safely?! read more

Awesome. Just awesome. For a $10 daily pass, the guys who operate this trolley will pick you up wherever you are in Hermann and take you where you want to go. They stay on call all day. Whenever you need a pick up, just call them, they'll be on their way. The trolley delivers you to the local wineries, picks you up about an hour and a half later, and helps you continue on your boozy way. After a day of wine tastings, beer tastings, and general drinkings, this trolley will be your new BFF -- if only for avoiding a DUI. The drivers/owners are super friendly, full of local information, and lots of fun. Definitely worth the ticket price. $10 day pass - 10 am to 7:30 pm $5 night pass - 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm $5 one way $20 tours read more

Not a good experience. Went to one winery and then back to Trolley station. Where we were told all the wineries close at 5 during October. Which would have been nice to know before we paid! 11 of us paid 20$ to go to ONE winery because they didn't inform us of October hours. Told us to come back the following day and we would get a good deal. We went back the next day and he wanted us to get back on and ride again, but we had other plans and no time. Asked for half of our money back and he was completely rude. Did not get refunded ANYTHING. Not happy. Not impressed. Would NOT recommend. read more

I visit Hermann at least once a year but sometimes multiple times a year and have always used the Trolley and even have Kevin's number programmed into my phone, never had a problem until this past weekend. I was in town to have a low key 40th birthday celebration for a friend. There were 4 ladies total. We started the day going to Lost Creek via their shuttle and spent a couple of hours there. About 2pm we approach Kevin the Trolly lot and ask if they could take us to Stone Hill. We didn't want to do the full route of the Trolley because we had all been there before we just wanted to visit Stone Hill and Oak Glenn. He has driver take us to Stone hill and we were there until about 530ish when we called for a Trolley to pick us up. After about 30 minutes one arrives. No air conditioning on a SCORCHER of a day. The driver Jeremiah probably the rudest person I had ever met in Hermann. We finally arrive at Oak Glenn and after about an hour we are ready to leave. I call the Trolly and am told one is coming up the hill right now, well we missed it waiting for someone to come back from bathroom, so I call again. Was told 15 minutes. Well about 25 minutes later the van shows up and there are about 25 of us waiting for Trolly at this point and the drivers will not let anyone on except for 4 people he said he needed to take somewhere. Getting frustrated another girl calls is told it's on its way. 20 minutes later still not there, so a 3rd girl in our calls and asks if there is a ETA? Kevin answered and was so rude. Called my friend a liar and said no way she had been waiting for an hour. Proceeded to then tell her it's not his fault if she is too stupid to get on one of the 4 trolleys that has been there since our first call. He also let her know that she was on speaker and him and all the other guys were laughing at her. Keep in mind the Van is the only thing that had come through. She tries to explain that to him and he hangs up on her. Finally the Trolly arrives and we are all livid. Including about 20 strangers that heard the phone conversation. We tell everyone to stay calm and let's just get back to town. We get to Trolly lot and another girl in group tried to talk to Jeremiah about what happened and he laughs in her face. We all walk away and go back to our houses and still upset try to call and get resolution. Kevin proceeds to tell us to "f*ck off". About a hour later we are walking (keep in mind the we is 4 women in their 40's) to dinner at Concert Hall and we have to pass the Trolley lot. We are walking on opposite side of road and Kevin comes from the lot into the road with his hand out to his side screaming at us if we had a problem. This is the most unprofessional and threatening guy I have ever experienced. I am still in shock! We asked around town that night and it does seem this is the norm for him and several business and local can't stand him. We were encouraged at ever turn to call chamber of commerce, talk to tourist director Tammy, and to report to better business bureau. All of which will be done. Keep in mind, none of the 4 of us were drunk, we had maybe 3 bottles total in a 7 hour period. There were MANY MANY drunk people around Hermann but we were not them. Many locals can attest to this as they talked with us throughout the night. That said EVEN if we were, you run a business that not only caters to people drinking you encourage them too drink and drink heavily! If that's your business you damn well better know how to deal with people!!! We will not only take Uber or hire a private driver when we are in town. I would LOVE to see some of the B&B start their own shuttle service for their guests! I would stay at those places every time! The trolley will never happen again! read more

I have been to wineries all over the country and I have yet to find any place that has something as awesome as the Hermann Trolley!!!! It is probably 90% of the reason I even keep coming back to Hermann. Where else can get a DD to a bunch of wineries for a full day for $15 a person? This was my fourth time to Hermann and the Hermann Trolley was just as good as ever! We stayed off the beaten path at an AirBNB, so I was worried we would have to walk to get the trolley. Not so! They sent someone to our front door within 5 minutes of calling! I was SO impressed. Although you can call for a ride anytime of day, if you go on a Saturday, a trolley will probably stop by within 20 minutes of any winery you drink at....which is great. All of the drivers are so friendly and helpful. They help you on and off the trolley at each stop. Not only are they courteous, but they are a lot of fun! I love the music they play, and who doesn't love a driver that keeps encouraging you to drink as much as you can?! In sum, the only way to get around Hermann! The only downside is that they spoil you so much that you're bound to be disappointed when you visit another set of wineries! read more

A great service for the tourists. Absolutely the safest route. However, today our driver took us to a different winery when we requested another. That took an extra 30 minutes out of the way. At 5 pm, we requested a pick up at the last winery and were told it would be 10 minutes. Three different people in our group called asking to be picked up. Each time the driver responds 10-15 minutes. It took 45 minutes for a driver to pick us up in the cold, drizzly weather. Our group lost our fun vibes and buzz. Very disappointing way to end our day. There needs to be more drivers or more reliable trolleys. read more

Kevin and his crew were great last weekend at Oktoberfest! They put up with lots of shenanigans from inebriated riders. Call these guys when you get there and use them every day. read more

Very bad business and even worse owner!!! Terrible human being. Everybody in Hermann knows this guy as having a terrible service. He has no character and no sense of business. He only cares about you if your group is really large. He values money over people and customer service. Every winery and bar bashed Kevin (owner of trolley service) and was not surprised by his lack of ability to function as an adult. We called Kevin one month ago to let him know we would be coming into town. He said he'd be glad to take us and there would be a party that day/night but that it'd be fun and we could join. I emailed 2 weeks prior to arrival verifying the trip and he again told us everything was good. Emailed him once again 3 days before arrival and told him when we'd be arriving (by train... mind you). He confirmed he would pick us up at the Amtrak station. Trip day comes.. I email to let him know the train has left and we are in route. No reply. I call him once we get to Hermann station and he claims the trolley "isn't running that day". He said he would "call me back" and I never heard a word. Luckily, we were able to walk to some wineries/distilleries and a local uber driver was able to pick us up from there. Moral of the story: DON'T USE THIS SERVICE. HE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU WILL BE STRANDED OR NOT. HE IS ONLY WORRIED ABOUT MAKING MONEY. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT PICKING YOU UP IF YOU ARE A LARGE GROUP. If he would've been honest from the beginning, I would've understood. I know it's hard to make money during the winter... and especially on small groups. I could've figured something else out. But we were left stranded and in a panic. Save yourself time and worry. Use Brandon the local uber driver. Most businesses have his card. He picked us up last minute due to the unprofessional actions of this "business." He is 100000x more reliable than this "service". I will forever smear the name of Hermann Trolley to every single person I know. No one I know will use this service. read more

The company operates multiple trolleys per day. They operate on a pretty routine schedule that will allow you to transport yourself and wine. They allow you to keep the wine you bought at different wineries on the trolley while you tour other wineries. I would highly recommend them for going to Adam Puchta and Stone Hill as they are only $20 per person. The drivers are really friendly and charismatic. read more

Worst experience of my life. Kevin, "trolleyman" was actually the driver so I had high hopes. Turns out the guy is just a pr*ck with little man syndrome. Was rude to everyone on the trolley and even went out of his way to shout at and belittle a disabled man. When my group said something to him he told Us to "get the f*ck off" leaving us stranded. Don't even want my money back, just want people to be aware. read more

Kevin the trolley man and the Hermann Trolley are fantastic! The perfect way to get around to all the wineries, without worrying about who is driving. When we asked Kevin how late he was running, his reply was, "Till you're done!" Nice!! He is always willing to offer opinions/recommendations and has helped my group find some excellent places that we wouldn't have otherwise. (ex- the pizza at Sharps Corner Tavern - delicious and cheap!) His rate has gone up to $15 a day due to gas prices - but I think this is still a steal. Have used the shuttle for 5 separate weekend trips now and will be back again, for sure. read more

Great service! This is a lifesaver if you come in on the train - I can't imagine getting around without it. They can also be your designated driver if you are touring the wineries. read more

The Hermann Trolley was perfect for our day in Hermann! It delivers you to each winery and makes the journey so fun. By taking the trolley, you don't have to worry about finding a parking spot or enjoying the wine at each location. Made the trip so much more relaxing! Highly recommend using this service!! read more

Kevin, John and team were all amazing! We got picked up and dropped off at the train station upon arrival and departure and never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes for a trolley all day/night Saturday while visiting the wineries and restaurants. We couldn't ask for a better time! Keep up the great work. read more

We had a great experience with the Hermann Trolley! A Rod was a lot of fun and the staff was very friendly. Kevin was helpful in setting up transportation for us to and from our accommodations. You will probably spend time some waiting in lines throughout the day so bring a good attitude and be prepared to go with the flow! read more

Rider for Life! We hired the Hermann Trolley to take our guests to and from the Little Piney Lodge for our wedding and they took GREAT care of our guests! Our guests are still raving about how much fun the trolley ride was. We also rode the trolley when we visited the wineries and it makes the day soo much more enjoyable. Great customer service!!! read more

Riding with A-Rod on the Hermann Trolley was a huge highlight of our trip! He gave us great insight on the history of Hermann, and took us around town like a pro! Even to the grocery store! They make everything as convenient as possible and definitely tipped this great vacation over the edge. read more
