Traveler reviews
Taxis let us down in Boston.
Taxi was requested, 20 minutes out, 10 minutes out , and didn't come. Uber was requested, no show. When a resource was found, none of the three hours that we allotted remained. We missed our tour with you and had to go straight to the cruise port.
Great Tour
This tour was absolutely wonderful! I learned more than I ever would have imagined. Our tour guide Tim was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable and funny too. I highly recommend this tour.
Great way to explore key points of interest
The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly
Just go!
This was a great drive around inside Boston with a lot of information about sites and history. The guides were all local people with some funny stories and plenty of Boston accents. We like to go through the whole tour so we can figure out the places we want to visit with more time. The tour included tickets to hop off and on during their operating hours.
Trollies get crowded. The...
Trollies get crowded. The narrative was pre-recorded. The sites called out were often hard to see depending on where you sat on the trolley. The route did give an acceptable "overview" of the tourist sites, allowing us to trek to them by ourselves. Those who were hopping on and off seemed to have long lines and wait times to get back onto already full trollies.
