Much history, lots of laughs! - We boarded our trolley with ease, took our seats, and began to be entertained by Hugo, our driver. He was very informative and shared tidbits of Bostonian history not readily found in history books...and did so with an incredible sense of humor! Truly a highlight of our visit to Boston. Grazie mille, Hugo!

Top tour guide - First ride on this trolly bus and was not disappointed. We took four different tour guides and have to say our best was Hugo. His knowledge of the city and never stopped talking. Also his ability to keep you entertained throughout the tour. Have to say he was so good we did the full tour with him a second time. The trolly bus was comfortable, and the ability to see places through a open window was prefect. Not too sure if they were wheelchair assessable as I didn't notice any ramp or lift but I think the other company was the same.we booked with the Boston pass which was great. No messing around. Would recommend this trolley tour. Great value even if paying by cash
