5.00Quicker way to view all the amazing spots in Boston! I love that there are two different buses that you can use to explore all the must sees. Boston is one of my favorite places but this was my boyfriend’s first time so I wanted to make sure he saw everything I loved about Boston and this tour helped me bring that to life. It also happened to be very cold the day we went so having the trolley to go back too in between seeing the sights was helpful. Very informative tour guides also which made the experience even better, Skipper was our favorite!
Inconsistent trolleys and walked or used an uber due to trolley inconsistency.

1.00The trolley stops weren’t every 20-30 minutes as it says. I rode the trolley twice. Spent a large portion of my time waiting for a trolley. The trolley was too full TWICE and I ended up walking more than I did riding. Didn’t get to stop and see majority of the items on the stop. Even took and uber to a few of the stops because of the trolleys. The plastic coverings on the window were filthy and couldn’t even get good pictures through it on the portions I did ride. And the trolleys stop running early due to sports activities in the city. Extremely extremely dissatisfied with this unfortunately.
