A fun day

We had the best time! We got to know some history and saw so many sights. Our driver/tour operator was superb. Joey would get my vote every day. I highly recommend this tour.

Okay way to see some sights

Nice guides but the first one started when not everyone was on. Second and third played a recording. Last one said his microphone broke and was trying to talk but only got to first row. Great way to ride around to the sites listed. We got off at stop 2 and at the Constitution. then at State Street. Information given was pretty brief. Never had to wait long for a trolley.

Transportation and information, ride with Hugo

We rode the trolley 2 different days and used it to get around Boston historic sites and for information. The Trolley has recorded information about history and sites. Some guides added more information and about the site and other areas, which we appreciated. Hugo was the best he added a lot of information and was entertaining.

Do yourself a favor use another company

It’s not good for getting on and off. You have to wait like over 45 minutes for a pickup and sometimes after the wait the bus is full. Other buses of the same competitors seen to show up faster. Definitely would not recommend.

Learned so much about Boston and US History

From the gentleman who sold me my 2 tickets to the staff team at the first stop to the 2 drivers, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip. A special mention of Joe D, who was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. We learned so much and he kept us entertained and engaged from the time he picked us up at the USS Constitution stop. It was hot hot hot, and he took care of us with water misting fans! We will bring our adult children the next time we visit Boston. And yes, please tip your drivers, whether it's after 1 stop or you stay on the entire ride! It is a reasonable price, so we're getting a bargain being able to get on and off. Thanks for a great trip!
