This gives us the best bang for our bucks. The narrator was knowledgeable and engaging, This saves us a lot of walking while learning the history of the Freedom Trail with the continuous narration. The meeting point was conveniently located close to the marketplace where we can enjoy a leisurely lunch or walk around. We can then return to the meeting point to hop on hop off the buildings we want to revisit independently. I highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed this narrated trolley tour. Our driver Joey charmed us with his Boston accent and great story telling and humor. Kudos to anyone who can talk and drive at the same time in Boston’s crazy traffic!
