5.00The Hop on Hop Off bus tour was a great experience. Even though we had time limitations my 2 Grandsons and I did get a great overview of Boston and the historical sights. The bus driver was very informative and explained many unknown things we did not know about Boston and was very helpful.
Great way to see Boston

5.00It was just as we expected. We scheduled for two days and had requested a time since we use a mobility scooter. We decided to forgo the second day and we received a call to see if we were coming so they wouldn’t leave us. Great customer service
Great tour and a lot of fun
