A useful way to learn about Boston. It is also good to be able to get off the bus, if you so wish, at a stop that attracts you, and then jump onto the next one that comes along.
Worth the money

Crafty’s tour was excellent! We stayed on for the whole route because Crafty was so entertaining. He was funny, he quizzed us, and he informed us. He is very engaging and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Boston hop on hop off tour with Crafty.

We bought a 2-day pass and the first day went well with buses available at reasonable wait times. On the second day, there were no buses we could find after waiting at locations over 20 minutes. Other buses found were "chartered" and not for other riders. We could not access a bus at all on the second day and we were very upset.
