Saddened

Hop on hop off was not very informative as to how to see the sights and after waiting almost an hour to get s return trip back to the ship there was no time to take more than one stop. So disappointing.

Thumbs up. Maybe a bit expensive.

Very fun and informative. The driver was very well-informed about Boston history.

Wonderful tour!

Great tour! Guides were knowledgeable, funny, and personable. Ben, the snarky guy who loves video games, and the guy who pumps up the ghost tour (sorry I don't remember all the names) were great. If you enjoy accurate historical details and dry humor, book this tour. Remember it's the tall orange and green trolley.

A Fun Way to See Boston

Ibooked the tour independently rathe than through the cruise line I was on .The tour was a lot of fun and I got to see a lot of great things in Boston such as Boston Commons and a lot of the wonderful historical buildings.As a plus the tour stops right outside Cheers where you can sit at an exact replica of the famous bar from the TV show and drink a beer.I real loved getting to see Boston .The trolley drivers were so friendly and really knowledgeable about Boston history .Be aware though that it is a hop on-hop off tour and the trolleys can be and sometimes are,full when they stopin which case you must wait for the next.In fact 3 or 4 stopped outside the stop for Boston Commons and couldn't those of us waiting because not enough people got off the trolley .But it wasn't a long wait for another because they have a lot of them
