Sensational Tour - Was a chilly day in Boston. But Cityview Trolly driver Jesse warmed up our day, with his energy and style narrating the tour of the City of Boston. His passion for his work is admirable. We look forward to another tour.

A Great Tour with Jesse - We had a private tour around Boston (because of the time of day) with Jesse. He was a great narrator and driver and was very entertaining. It was relaxing and we learned a lot.

Hop-On Hop-Off - The whole tour was amazing. It is a hop on hop off tour which was a great surprise. We were able to hop off and walk part of the Freedom Trail and a couple hours later hop back on to return to our car.

Boston City View Tour. - We had an outstanding tour of Boston with one of the best tour guides, Jesse. The knowledge he has and the fact that he was born and raised in Boston, made the stories that much more entertaining. His harmonica playing, put the tour out of the ballpark. I will certainly do this again and bring my friends. Of course we will look for Jesse’s schedule. Thank you Jesse for making a rainy, cold windy Boston day fun and enjoyable.

Entertaining but Falls Short on Time and Content - I recently took this tour and enjoyed the driver’s humor and harmonica playing, which added a fun touch. However, the tour was advertised as 80 minutes but only lasted 60. Additionally, the narrator repeated the same information multiple times, which made the experience feel a bit redundant. While it was enjoyable overall, more variety and the promised duration would have made it much better.

Tour does not exist! Do not book it.. - This was a big disappointment and a very annoying situation. The tour and company are not operating but they did not advise and still took the money. I arrived at the meeting point to be told by another tour operator. I spent more money on another ticket with an existing company. This is not good and Viator needs to be aware of this!

NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR THIS SEASON!🤦🏻‍♀️ - Take this tour down! It is over for the season (we were informed when we got there that the last one was 11/30/2024), and I lost the money, when we got there there was no trolley ride after we had bought 4 tickets! So dissatisfied and disappointed with this. Waiting on my refund now. Hope no one else gets fooled like this.

Not worth it. - The driver was speaking with a very heavy Boston accent. Shortly after the tour started, we politely asked to speak slower. His immediate response what he wasn’t there to be told how fast or slow he should speak. There weee a few small children and their mother, two Brits, and the three of us. Complete waste of money.
