About Us
Experienced Guides
Tim. David, Cumy (Q-MY) and Joe, are our guides that narrate the history, share fun stories, childhood memories and probably some corny jokes!

One helps them, the other helps us!

about the tour
Eureka Springs' #1 Tour Activity
Whether this is your very first visit to Eureka Springs, or if you've been here many times before, if you have never taken the tram tour before or have not taken one recently, then you really need to do so now.
The tram tours are approximately 90 minutes in length and are fully narrated by well trained local guides. In fact all of our guides are either natives of the area or long-time residents, who know what they're talking about and know how to present the information in a fun and easy to understand manner.
The tours depart from the Park and Ride / Visitors Center located at 137 West Van Buren Street (Highway 62 west), just west of the majestic Queen Anne Mansion and just east of Bubba's BBQ. Tours depart at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.
The cost of the tour is $19.00 plus tax and ticket fee for adults and $9.00 plus tax and ticket fee for kids 4 thru 11. Children 0 thru 3 years are free, but may need to ride on lap.
The tour passes literally 100's of old homes and historic buildings, as well as several of the healing springs that made Eureka Springs so famous in the late 1800's.
Gratuities for tour guides are acceptable and appreciated.
Trams are ADA equipped.
No reservations by phone.
No Pets Allowed, except for certified Service Animals.
No Smoking on or within 20 feet of tram.

A Public Private Partnership
Eureka Springs Tram Tours is a partnership between the city of Eureka Springs Transit Department and local tour company Joe Gunnels Tours. This relationship has worked very successfully since the tram tours began almost 30 years ago. Tour guides are independent guides and it is appropriate to tip your guide after the tour. Unfortunately, the tram drivers are city employees and therefore cannot accept tips!
