Definitely recommend. - The hop on/hop off bus tour is my favourite way to see a City and get a feel for where we wanted to spend a bit more time. We did a full loop and got out where we wanted after. Our driver/guide told us a lot of the history and he was really funny about it.

Great overview of Boston - Easy way to see the highlights of Boston - especially in the cold weather. We took visiting friends and also learned a lot ourselves. You can choose where you want to spend your time exploring and then listen to the rich history of Boston on the warm trolley.

Fantastic Tour! - Such a great experience! All of the bus drivers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our favorite bus driver was Crafty (Steve Crafts) He was so funny and engaging! It really made our trip to Boston special.

Don’t poke the Bear if you’re in a Lurch! - Bear was fantastic! Funny and engaging! He taught us how to speak like a Bostonian. I can’t believe the tour was an hour and 50 minutes! It really only felt like a half hour! We also had Lurch later in the day, but only for one stop. We loved him so much we wanted to go on another tour just to hear his style!

Great experience I would recommend it into - The most memorable part of the experience was all the beautiful history and narration by your driver was exceptionally well first and very entertaining and very energetic. It was great. The only issue we had was it was cold, and the wind kept blowing in the plastic shade covers. It felt like it could’ve had more heat in the bus itself, but it was a terribly cold day, so maybe that’s just an exception to the rule. The only other issue we had was the mystery about where to meet and all of that but that was cause we went through by a tour and I think they didn’t explain Quite as carefully as it should have how to find the start and where to meet and how long it was gonna go, but it was great

Wait time too long between trolleys - I did the trolley to see the city. Unfortunately we did not like it. If you don’t plan on getting off it’s fine but if you do be prepared to wait. Every time we got off we waited about 30 min for the next trolley. I wasted more time waiting for the trolley. I could have hopped in an Uber faster. I would not recommend.

Terrible - Waited in line for over an hour at the tour kiosk by our cruise ship with about 200 other people, two buses pasted, and they were full. We were told by the tour company at the kiosk that three of their drivers called out that day. They would not grantee that they would get us back to our ship on time. Obviously, no contingency plan. Got our money back.

Not enough trolleys running - There wasn’t enough trolleys running and you would have to wait 30 minutes between trolleys. Some drivers didn’t narrate.

Major Dissapointment - Refused Trolley Ride Because We Booked With Viator - We were very excited to tour Boston so we booked the Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley Tour through Viator for Monday October 7th. We walked 100 yards in heavy rain to the trolley at Stop 16 at our cruise ship pier. At the trolley we were told we could not board because we had not purchased the tickets through our Princess cruise. We were informed that we could board at Stop 17 “Just around the corner”. Stop 17 which was 1.1 miles away! We had an umbrella and raincoats but we still got very cold and wet. We rode the trolley through Stop 18 and got off at the Quincy Market (Stop 1). The Tour Director/Driver never uttered a word. After our visit to Quincy Market, there was a long line to get on the Trolley. The trolley had clear plastic vinyl windows that had fogged up so no one could see. We waited in the rain as they rolled up all the vinyl windows leaving anyone with a window seat to be subjected to the elements. At that point we ended our trolley experience and ordered an Uber back to the ship.
