Great way to see and experience Boston! - My husband, son, and I were looking for a last minute tour. We were only in Boston for a day. The Summer Nights tour was really fun. Bailey was great, music was great, boat trip on the Charles was great! It was very affordable too!

The first half of the... - The first half of the trolley tour was tough to follow. Hambone was great, but the background music was too loud making it difficult to hear him talk. Many reviewers claim the boat ride is boring. If you have good weather, we thought this was the highlight of the tour watching the rowers and sailboats in the river as you ride past MIT and BU. The second half of the trolley seeing the city lit up at night was great.

Crafty summer night tour of Boston - This was an excellent tour, family, friendly, and informative. Good music and lots of laughs thanks to Crafty, our Driver and tour guide. We learned about Boston history saw major landmarks, and then took a scenic riverboat cruise on the Charles River. We learned about Boston and Cambridge, historic universities and landmarks. Definitely worth checking out if you are isiting Boston for the first time. There is so much amazing history and we saw so many beautiful moments & buildings! The river bought cruise was relaxing and we learned a lot about the Charles River and its bridges. Great price, great tour with a great team!! Best way to see Boston during the summer especially when your feet start hurting!

Definitely a hard pass - New tour, needs a lot of edits to improve quality. Majority of tour is river cruise, small amount referencs sites away from river. On way to St. Charles majority of conversation from driver/narrator was focused on music. (Can drivers legally be narrators, too?) Difficult to understand driver over music. I'd consider ditching music and time spent discussing music/bands.When driver referenced sites, he didn't point out which site/building he was referencing. On arrival at St. Charles, driver/narrator instructed us to leave bus and walk towards water to find boat. Seemed odd that guests were not led to boat just go find it. Of course, no boat in canal. Boat arrived within 5 mins. Narrator on boat was, also, bartender. Again, felt like company is trying to keep staff at minimum. Some nice views on St, Charles. We arrived back to dock 20 mins early, narrator indicated we could walk around until trolley arrived. Not sure what we would do since shops were closed for the day. Luckily, trolley was at stop and no wait. Driver/narrator did point out sites properly on return. No seats belts on trolley is weird. Not sure why trolleys are exempt from being required to have seat belts. Definitely not worth cost of tickets.
