1.00We took an uber to the recommenced site stop #1 Waited for over 45 minutes in the snow, poor communication. Using the suggested mode of communication the chat was 100% a bot. We finally called Viator tech support, they were able to contact a live person so then said we were contacted about the cancellation. Not no text nothing. We asked Viator for a full refund.

4.00If you only have a day to see as much of a city as you can, this is the only way to go! Apologies to Rocky for answering my phone while on the bus, but it was from the Ghosts and Graveyards tour wondering if I was still going on the tour due to the cold. Rocky was great!
Really liked the tour and off-on ability.

5.00I was really impressed with the drivers and service on the trolley. It is winter, so hours were shorter, but the ability to get around town was great and the information provided interesting and informative. We bought a 2-day pass which saves considerable money and made the sightseeing easier. Most of the stops had a place to stay out of the cold while waiting for the next trolley. Shout-out to all the drivers, but kudos to Quack who we meet several time throughout our time in Boston
