Out Freedom Trail - It was a great time to see all downtown Boston. We were able to see what interested us the most & go back to those stops. Hugo was our driver. He did a great job!

Joey Was Informative and Kind - Host and driver Joey was deeply knowledgeable and proud of his city of Boston. It was 96 degrees on our visit and he provided water fan relief. He also had his trolley decorated festively for America's 250th birthday. At times it was a little tricky to hear, just due to city traffic. We had one traveler who began commenting loudly about everything Joey was presenting, but Joey redirected and settled the issue quickly.

Wish we had a live narrator - I was expecting a “live narrator”. We had a recorded experience with very little from our driver. He had a very thick accent which was very hard to understand.

Tour guides microphone turned off & on intermittently - Tour operator was efficient but the bus went by sights fast & the driver/guide's microphone wasn't working continuously. He pointed out restaurants & bars in the area.

The tour did not talk... - The tour did not talk about the sights to see in Boston or the landmarks, the driver was funny but just rambled on about the history of Boston. We have taken many Victor tours which are much better.

Not sure what this was - We were so disappointed with this trip. It was our first time and day in Boston. We wanted an overview and wanted to be able to take pictures. The driver concentrated on two couples right behind him. Joked around with them and got to know them. We felt left out. He drive the bus and spoke a little then a prerecorded voice came on. He never really stopped for us to see any of the sights and take a picture. He pointed out Paul Revere's house but believe me I didn't not see it. He never said right or left, look straight ahead or anything. We were extremely frustrated. It felt more like a public transit bus. Some people could get off. We could not because we got the nonstop version. This was not the experience we expected.

Do not waste your money - This was called an 80 minute tour that lasted 30 minutes. We were told things like 3 blocks up the hill is where Paul Rwvere’s house is, through the gates (that we were already past) you can see Old Ironsides. We drove our car around Boston after this to get a real tour of historic places.
