tourguides are very friendly, know a lot about their city, save driving, lots of busses around so that you hardly ever have to wait for your next pick-up.

Te tour is vry well organized, being on time. The conductors are truly Bostonians, telling a lot of jokes, making the tour alive. Sometimes the noise from the road is louder than the speakes. Oh well, we don't want to have closed window trolley, so not much can be done.

I loved the option of getting on/off whenever we wanted. There were no long delays at any stop; quick trip between stops. Heard different narrations from each driver about the area and historical events. Only two things that I would see as an improvement; run longer than 5pm and provide a stop at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

The trolley Tour was great! It stopped right outside our hotel, and gave us information about Boston that was interesting. If you wanted more in depth info you could jump off and visit the sights. Combining the Trolley and the "T" gave us full access to everything. The tour opperators were very informative and helpful. It was a great value, because we had two days of usage and a free boat ride in Boston Harbor. We ranged in age from seniors to infants and we all enjoyed it.

Have enjoyed hop-on hop-off tours throughout the world. Guides here were great. Stops were convenient. Biggest issue is that when it rains, nobody "hops off".During a downpour, we were passed by two totally full trolleys over a 30-45 minute period. When I called the company to complain, a trolley with available seats was there within 5 minutes. But they should have been better prepared (I've heard it does rain in Boston on occasion), or the drivers should have called in the problem when they left people standing at the curb. If I hadn't had my cell with me, we could have been there a lot longer.

Our Driver "Crackerjack" was excellent! Our only complaints were that the last trolley stopped so early and that it did not go more than one way.

Review by: Adrian E	September 2011
I would highly recommend this as you get the history/tour part but you can hop off and take a closer look. Some of the drivers were more fun than others. Our favourite was Cracker Jack. Lots of added value as you get the 2nd day free and the free harbour cruise. Many hotels are on or close to their routes so you don't need a car.

Superb way to see Boston - unfortunately it was raining during our two days but the drivers are very informative and know their stuff - sit on the bus first of all as the complete tour last 100 minutes - best stop was Fenway Park home of Boston Red Sox baseball team

Review by: Richard P	September 2011
The trip was better than expected. The narration by the drivers was like being in a history class with a funny teacher. Cudo's to Coach and Lobsterback. Trolley's were on time. We'd recommend it to anyhone. A great way to see Boston in a short time.

Review by: Ted W S	September 2011

Review by: William G	September 2011

very good value for money

Boston is a very easy city to navigate around. To save your feet from the long walks to various attractions, this is a great way to see the city! I am a fan of 'hop on hop off' trolleys/buses... and have been on many -around the world. The tour guides are knowledgeable and they make the journey interesting and funny with all the information they provide. some of the trolley stops, get a little crowded, and at times the trolleys are full, but the next trolley is just around the corner... (we only had to wait 10mins - as it was raining and nobody wanted to get off)._br/_ Strongly recommended if you only have a short stay in Boston.

Overall we enjoyed the tour, but unfortunetly we had some international visitors behind us speaking very loud, when the guide was trying to speak. We asked them to please be quiet but they continued very loudly, so we got off at the next stop and waited for the next bus, which happened to be full so we had to wait again.

Review by: Michael B	August 2011
We tried to get on the trolley at 11:00 AM at one of the stops and the first seven trolleys (about an hour and a half) were full. The drivers got to the point where they wouldn't even open the doors so we could try to get on. Finally, as twenty or so people like us waited, my wife and I were let on a trolley when two people got off. The tour itself was quite interesting.

Knowledgeable and fun drivers -- learned a lot even though I've lived here for a long time!

Review by: Mary Z, United States of America	June 2010
The drivers on the hop on hop off tour were full of stories that made the trip around the city informative and fun. We took some parts around for the third time and each one had a different set of stories.

Great, knowledgeable, friendly Bawstin dryviz! Excellent trolley frequency and route.

Review by: Don A, United States of America	June 2010
The trolley took us all around town and the driver explained and narrated well. We were able to get off and explore the areas that interested us, and then get on another one to go to the next place. The price included two days for the price of one, so that was perfect for us.

We had a great experience. My wife and I were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary and the day couldn't have been better. The Trolley guides were very informative and funny! It was a great way to learn about the city of Boston and a great way to get around to the points of interest. We'll be back!

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	April 2010
A fantastic tour. The driver was well informed and interacted with the passengers, asking where we from, etc. As well as free access to the Old State House we also got free tickets for a harbour cruise, which was totally unexpected. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed seeing Boston this way. My only complaint is a small one but the tour guides weren't quite as energetic as some of the other tours we took on our cruise but overall-excellent.

Review by: Robert K, United States of America	October 2009
We were very pleased with the Trolley Tour. The most important thing about the tour was the outstanding job done by the tour drivers. They were really good!

Review by: Judith F, United States of America	October 2009
Our trolley driver a native to Boston was GREAT - lots of great history. We rode the entire circuit first and then went back to the start of the freedom trail and got off. The staff were all very helpful and fun to work with.
