Traveler reviews
Awesome tour with Cindy
We had a great ride with Cindy today! We caught her trolley after having stopped to check out the Navy Yard and had planned to hop off again to have lunch and explore more neighborhoods along the way. But we opted to stay on with Cindy for the rest of the tour and do our exploring afterward! She is so knowledgeable about Boston and has the greatest sense of humor - thanks for a great afternoon!
Boston tour on a trolly
Our tour guide was Cindy and she was the best. She knew all the history, buildings, statues and had wonderful stories and facts. We would go again in a heartbeat with Cindy.
Family trip
Wonderful and informative. The pick up point was convenient. The staff took our wheelchair and kept it for us until we returned. Everyone was friendly and attentive. We brought our niece from Morocco on this tour.
Average tour
The narration was prerecorded and seem to often not be at the correct time to match the tour. The driver was good. But the tour was just average. I would definitely rather take a tour with live narration.
Boston Strong
My tour bus had an issue and we were forced to change to another bus shortly after the start. The original bus had taped voice narration and I was not loving it! The replacement bus had a narrating driver who was a fantastic fountain of knowledge. He said he was born in Dorchester and made my day as I learned so many new facts about history! He is a true Rock star!
