I wanted to enjoy this excursion, but unfortunately, it was grossly oversold. At the first stop we waited nearly an hour. We saw the same issue happening at a few other stops as well. I found the experience to be frustrating and inefficient. If you want to see Boston, I recommend to just use Uber.

Really Disappointing. Waited an hour to get on the bus. Hop Off at a point. Went back and waited over an hour again because two buses stopped but they were full. I’ve done this Hop On Hop Off many times, this was not a good experience.
