In the early 1970s Chris Belland, Mo Mosher and Ed Swift combined efforts to restore historic storefronts in Key West, Florida. They saw an increasing number of tourists were coming to the area, so they started Old Town Trolley tours to tour visitors around town. They started with a converted bread truck and a homemade trailer. By the 1980s they were able to buy completely new equipment and they started touring trolleys in various cities, including Boston, Nashville, San Diego, Savannah, St. Augustine, and Washington DC. The St. Augustine touring trolleys, the latest of the various city tours, were added in 2001.

The standard hop-on and hop-off tour has been supplemented by other tours.
