HUG0: Enjoyable and Knowledgeable Tour driver!!! - Trip was excellent. Only wish that the tour had stops also at the Fenway Park and Marathon Finish areas too. Like that you can on and off at different stops. We got off at the USS Constitution for an hour to tour ship. That was really interesting and a bonus is that we got a new driver when we got back on trolley. His name was Hugo and he was fabulous. He was born and raised in Boston. He knew the history of Boston and injected some humor into telling it. I am from Boston too and I enjoyed it too and learned some new things. But my friends from out of state really like it. I would ask when Hugo is working and try to get him for most of your tour day. In any event - if your driver is enjoyable and putting in such effort for you- remember to tip them well.

Hugo was amazing - we enjoyed the tour so much! - What a great time! Our driver, Hugo, was very entertaining and passionate about showing us around this beautiful city. He shared many interesting facts about each site we passed, highlighted by an “inside scoop” as only a local could - all with the best sense of humor! Highly recommend!

Informational Tour, not great for exploring - The trolly was pretty easy to find. Two of the three guides we had were funny and informative. The loop takes about 70 minutes with 9 stops. I would only suggest this company if you want a tour and a few stops. If you want this as a means to explore the city, I would suggest another company. You can only go around once per day, so if you have reservations they have to be in order of the stops. There are also less stops. They also only use paper tickets, so you have to keep the ticket, or you can't get on.
