Our Hotel suggested this tour of the city. While the tour was good, we waited 20 min. for a trolley only to find that by the time it got to our stop there were so many people waiting that only 8 got on. The driver did call dispatch to find that another trolley would be arriving soon. We got on... More

I bought an Old City tour, it cost $38 for two days. It is an excellent tour that loops through the main attractions in Boston; it starts near the Quincy market through to other attractions such as the USS Constitution, Beacon Hill, Fenway Park, the Church of Christian Science, the State Capitol, etc, and it included complimentary entry to the...

We have done this in several cities and find that it is a great way to get a feel for the city. You learn things about the city that you would not know by just walking around. We used the tour to decide what we wanted to explore the next day. The drivers we had were good and gave lots... More

Second time on this trolley. The last time was in 2011. Each driver is unique and makes the experience fun. My husband has difficulty walking due to MS. They were very courteous to wait after i ran up to ensure we didn't miss it. It would not be good for him to wait another 20 min on the next one.

Visited family in Boston and toured the city on the Old Town Trolley Tour. The ability to get on and off at various points of interest was excellent with a trolley arriving ever 20mins. All the guides seemed to know their city and each in their own way made the city come alive. I would recommend this method of getting... More

Disclosure: I did not ride the trolleys. The actual trolley ride may be awesome but my experience with the employee convinced me not to give any money to them. I had asked the employee if I could buy the tickets online and then show them to the employee (rather than having to print them). He responded that it 'wasn't his... More

This tour was full of interesting facts and great sight-seeing. We bought the three-day pass and were able to enjoy the tour and also use the trolley as transportation to get where we needed to go. Everyone of the tour guides was knowledgable and very entertaining. We especially enjoyed the duck tour of the harbor. This tour is definetly worth... More

GREAT EXPERIENCE on this tour. Visited in March 2013. We had a superb time on each trolley we took. They were plentiful and strategically located around town...even blocks from our accommodations. The drivers were all funny and well informed. We had a great "winter" deal which was 2 days, Free State House, and Free entry to the Boston Tea Party... More

So glad we had the tour with the trolley of Boston. All our guides were more than helpful and insightful. We saw so many places and took advantage of hopping on and off all the time. Like others mentioned ride the whole thing and then stop at points of interest. The harbor cruise is a nice addition too and is... More
