Each driver is different so hop on and off and meet a few. We had the 2 day ticket that included a 'duck' tour of the harbour. Excellent value. Drivers were friendly and knowledgeable, very accommodating. You get great inside scoop on the city with these tours. More

We bought the 2-day pass which was well worth the money. This is a great alternative to getting around Boston without having to walk everywhere or use the subway system. If we saw something we wanted to visit, we just hopped off and explored for a while and then hopped back on when we were done without any trouble at... More

The Duck tour was fantastic! What really made the tour outstanding was Jon who was not only knowledgable, funny but considerate!!. He went way beyond the call of duty when he gave us a ride to our hotel when we were running late. In fact several tourist needed a lift and he gave them a ride. He is the kind... More

This is nothing mors than a glorifed bus ride. All the drivers were not engaging or knowlegeable about Boston. We got off the bus so we could switch drivers , this did not help. our second driver was downright hostile towards the passengers. A few more stops and we hopped off for lunch , the next driver was baiting the... More

We bought a 2-day pass for the Upper Deck Trolley tour of Boston, including the Super Duck option. This is an excellent way of getting around Boston and seeing the historic sights offered by the city. The drivers were friendly, obliging and informative; the bus clean and well- maintained and being able to hop on and off at designated stops... More

This tour is wonderful! Our driver Emily was so smart. We learned lots of history and she was so sunny and pleasant. The tour covers a lot of ground. You can hop on and off at any stop and it's good for two days, making it a great value. The price includes the Super Duck tour and entry into one... More

We're locals and had always taken our out-of-state friends on the more well known Duck Boat tour when showing off our city, so we were apprehensive about taking a chance on Upper Deck Trolleys. We intended on using the Duck Boats again but we walked up to the wrong tour booth. After listening to the young guy manning the Upper... More

Compared to some of the other reviewers, we enjoyed this tour. Our driver was kowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. I guess it is of no comfort to those who get a useless driver/guide. More

The tour is great, lots of history. Our driver, Emily may be young but she is friendly, knows the city, the history, and took good care of her passengers. Hope her boss gives her a raise or at least an atta girl. More
