Traveler reviews
Out Freedom Trail
It was a great time to see all downtown Boston. We were able to see what interested us the most & go back to those stops. Hugo was our driver. He did a great job!
Joey Was Informative and Kind
Host and driver Joey was deeply knowledgeable and proud of his city of Boston. It was 96 degrees on our visit and he provided water fan relief. He also had his trolley decorated festively for America's 250th birthday. At times it was a little tricky to hear, just due to city traffic. We had one traveler who began commenting loudly about everything Joey was presenting, but Joey redirected and settled the issue quickly.
Tour guides microphone turned off & on intermittently
Tour operator was efficient but the bus went by sights fast & the driver/guide's microphone wasn't working continuously. He pointed out restaurants & bars in the area.
well done
Friendly and well informed drivers. Easy to use web site and good ongoing communication from you. The out of town family found the tour to be very informative.
Terrific Boston tour with Cindy
Have taken many hop on/off tours, but this was so much better- the convenience of hop on/off as you wish, but with a terrific narrated tour by Cindy as well. She was extremely friendly, funny, and so knowledgeable about her beloved Boston. At every stop she made sure to explain all the great places to visit in each area. I learned so much - sorry it ended!
