We took this tour that included a 45 min. harbour tour as well. The guides were very entertaining and informative. It allowed us to get on and off at our leisure to tour whatever we wished to investigate further. All of the points of interest in Boston are pretty much covered on this tour, it is just up to you...

This was our first trip to Boston, and we learned a LOT. Next time, we will NOT rent a car (just use the subway!), but we will definitely be using Old Town Trolley Tours again. It is such an easy way to get around, on and off, all weekend long! The guides are so educated and funny, and much better... More

We rode the Old Town Trolley and visited the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum (highly recommended). The Old Town Trolley was a great way to see all the sights and learn about the history of the city. Our tour guide, River, was fantastic. Very knowledgable, great fun and a wonderful guide around Boston. Great city, great tourist attraction. Well... More

We were two couples in Boston for the first time. We bought a two day pass whic als included 45 minute harbour boat tour. It is a hop on hop off trolly with driver/guides. With the exception of one who was too loud and a baseball fanatic, the others were full of information about the areas we travelled through and... More

Hop and hop off tour. $31-36 bucks for two day use depending on your age. Stops at all of the major areas and rides through the entire city while providing entertaining banter. Well worth the $$.

Visted all major sites and gave you hints and tips to get to others not on the tour. We hopped on and off quite a bit and there are some really good guides. They love their city. Great wee sound clips as well. Only downside for me was the seats they were wooden and hurt my back a little, but... More

Enjoyed this trolley tour over two days in mid May, visited all of Boston's Freedom trail attractions.Had great tour guides, especially Kent (Clark), "J.", and Shiner. All were interesting , informative and full of good anecdotal tidbits of Boston history. One of the benefits of this tour is the hop off hop on feature that lets you adventure away from... More

A great way to get around to all the main spots on the Freedom Trail. Drivers were friendly and provided a lot of information about the history of the city.

Took the harbor cruise-it was great. Weather was good that day and was able to see the city from a distance. Got a lot of information... More

Just got back from Boston and after reviewing all the other trolley tours in Boston by users of Tripadvisor I chose this company for our tour. Price is a bit higher than the others but trolleys are clean and drivers nice and knowledgeable about the city. The best part is you get a second day free and one comes along... More
