The FREE trolley tour takes visitors to cultural attractions including museums, galleries and historical sites during its trek through downtown Shreveport. The trolley features a guided narrative tour that offers interesting tidbits into Shreveport's past multicultural history.
Trolley tours run approximately every 25 minutes from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Trolley stops on the TNT Express will vary every month. Some of these stops include artspace, the Municipal Auditorium, Millennium Mural, Sci-Port: Louisiana's Science Center, The Barnwell Garden and Art Center, Spring Street Historical Museum, Multicultural Center of the South, Southern University Museum of Art in Shreveport, and The Robinson Film Center.

The TNT Express is a great way to shop for unique items since so many of these venues have gift shops with unique art and crafts made by Louisianans.
