This was a wonderful way to see Boston - This was a wonderful way to see Boston on a short visit. We were able to see many historical sites and hear great stories from Miss Bean, Papa Jim and JD.

Each driver/tour guide gives this tour a different vibe! - I love the fact that each hop on hop off trolley has a different vibe based on the driver. This is a driver narrated tour and although some are better than others, we have never had a bad tour guide. You see most of what the downtown Boston area has to offer. Well worth the $$$.

Great way to see a lot in one day - Easy access there is a bus every 15 minutes. The stops are at places you would like to see. The bus stops are conveniently located to all major attractions or within walking distance. Great way to cover a lot of ground in one day.

Busy Day in Boston - I caught the trolley at the cruise terminal. Long line and few seats on the first 2 trolleys that arrived-6 and then 10 seats available. Close to 75 people in line. I think empty trolley's should have been sent considering there were two cruise ships in port. Our first driver, who was also our 3rd driver, was excellent with the history and stories about the area. Minimum 30 min wait between stops. Again, only a few could get on at each stop-8-10 people with more waiting in line. Definitely not enough buses running for the amount of tourists in town. Was disappointed the trolley did not go to Harvard and MIT like ones in the past have done.

Nice place - Going down on Quincy Market. Too much traffic. Can’t really hop on hop off without considering being late to get back to our cruise ship.

Was denied bus ride!!! - Booked through Viator, had tickets (offline) through Viator app - when the trolley came to the stop, the operator denied us because he said he didn't recognize the tickets. Didn't bother to help or look into it further. Took time out of our day to get it sorted out and we missed half the day of touring because of it. In the end, we had the RIGHT tickets, for the corresponding service so we spent money on something we only got to use for less than half the day!!! Shouldn't the operator's be more helpful to sort things out? Waste of our money considering we didn't get fully what we paid for.

Nasty Miss Jackson - We got on the tour of Miss Jackson and the first thing we heard after her lukewarm welcome were her trolley rules. My son and I just looked at each other. Let’s make a long story short…this trolley ride was clearly all about her. It all made sense when she told us that she drove a Boston school bus for 15 years. “I let the kids on my bus choice the music we listened to…they got to choose between two types…county and western.” Most of her jokes fell flat and weren’t relevant or not relatable . When there were folks in the bus breaking the “whisper only” rule a man on the trolley yelled at them and she threatened to kick them out at the next stop. Uncomfortable. We decided to get off at next stop and so did most of the other folks on the trolley. This was not our stop so I asked Miss Jackson when the next trolley would stop. She confirmed 30 minutes. We waited 45 minutes in the bitter cold for the next trolley. I hope that she can learn to be more engaging and friendly in the future so that her tip hat does not remain empty. If it’s just that she is new or had a bad day, please partner her with Crafty…I know he would be happy to share some tips for success.
