I was unsure about doing a bus tour but decided it would be a good over-view our first day in Boston. It was easy to catch the trolley near our hotel and our driver was Bill O'Brien. We really lucked out with Bill! He was so fun, informative and interesting to listen to, he made the city come alive with... More

We were only in Boston for a short time and we always think that the bus tours are the best way to go. The only thing I could have hoped for was that you really skate around some of the more historic areas, because the buses can't go down the streets. The tour guides were nice and we did notice...

Boston's narrow and quaint streets are great for pedestrians. But if you plan to hop on a trolley, the height of Boston's only upper deck trolley will make sure you don't miss one of its many historical landmarks. Like other companies, their ticket will buy you multiple days of travel with the option of hopping on and off the trolley.... More

Thanks Jantonio65 for your excellent review! The height of our trolleys is truly unique among Boston's tour operators and guarantee a superior viewing position for our guests. Our trolleys also happen to be Boston's newest and cleanest, both inside and in terms of emissions. Have a great day and we hope you'll join us again when you come to Boston! More

We spent 4 unforgettable days in Boston and our 3 day pass on the clean trolleys made it so. The only bad thing was our first tour guide was Cory and he was so great that the others paled in comparison. He knew his stuff and made us laugh. Then we stumbled upon Pat and loved him as well. He... More

We had the 3 day pass and it was great value. It was the best way to see and learn about Boston. The drivers are knowledgeable and all have their funny ways of explaining things to you. Bill knows everything you need to know about Boston. The Duck tour was fun and Davis was a show on his own. Funny... More

Chose Upper Deck because they offered a special 3 day pass for about $40 and picked up from our Waterfront hotel. They have the longest 21-stop tour compared to the other companies. All the different drivers/guides were generally good; we enjoyed Canadian / Irish Pat the most. It's great to have all the stops and sometimes get off/visit/and get back... More

They gave us a great tour with alot of information. Unfortunately we were there the same week as the bombing so alot of site were not available. They made the best of... More
