We were two couples in Boston for the first time. We bought a two day pass whic als included 45 minute harbour boat tour. It is a hop on hop off trolly with driver/guides. With the exception of one who was too loud and a baseball fanatic, the others were full of information about the areas we travelled through and... More

Hop and hop off tour. $31-36 bucks for two day use depending on your age. Stops at all of the major areas and rides through the entire city while providing entertaining banter. Well worth the $$.

Visted all major sites and gave you hints and tips to get to others not on the tour. We hopped on and off quite a bit and there are some really good guides. They love their city. Great wee sound clips as well. Only downside for me was the seats they were wooden and hurt my back a little, but... More

Enjoyed this trolley tour over two days in mid May, visited all of Boston's Freedom trail attractions.Had great tour guides, especially Kent (Clark), "J.", and Shiner. All were interesting , informative and full of good anecdotal tidbits of Boston history. One of the benefits of this tour is the hop off hop on feature that lets you adventure away from... More

A great way to get around to all the main spots on the Freedom Trail. Drivers were friendly and provided a lot of information about the history of the city.

Great overview of Boston. Visited each attraction and was able to get off and on as wanted. Second day was able to take harbor cruise or tea party museum as part of tour purchas. Took the harbor cruise-it was great. Weather was good that day and was able to see the city from a distance. Got a lot of information... More

Just got back from Boston and after reviewing all the other trolley tours in Boston by users of Tripadvisor I chose this company for our tour. Price is a bit higher than the others but trolleys are clean and drivers nice and knowledgeable about the city. The best part is you get a second day free and one comes along... More

Great way for first timers to hit the highlights of Boston. We felt it worked great for us. Good value and you get to see a lot in a relatively short time frame.

This tour, as others have mentioned, is a great value and includes many good add ons. However, also like others have mentioned, your driver can make a difference. They are all knowledgeable and friendly but some are funnier than others. My only two complaints with the trolley is first off if you are tall the seats are really cramped. The... More

My wife and I are visiting Boston for just the second time, and we decided to take the Old Town Trolley hop on hop off tour today. It was great, with our various drivers delivering a constant stream of interesting facts as we drove around the city. Being originally from England, we had mixed feelings about some of the historical... More

That's about as telling a testament to the quality of our tour as I could hope for! If British subjects can enjoy our historic tour of Boston, despite the obvious mixed feelings, we must be doing something right. I am so glad you enjoyed yourselves! Please do not hesitate to ride with us again when you visit Boston for a... More
