Girls Boston trip for cardi B concert

Melissa_D, Apr 2026
Tour operator JD was very knowledgeable about the city and the history of Boston. I definitely recommend everyone visiting to go on this tour.

The Quick Way around Boston

Nicola_C, Mar 2026
Each trolly driver had a unique take on Boston history, which made for a great take away from my trip. Will definitely take the time to further look at Boston history. I loved Boston, I will need to revisit.

A perfect glimpse of Boston!

Cathy, Oct 2025
Driver was very kind and relaxed despite the difficulties with driving a big bus in small spaces with traffic. He was quite interesting with information about Boston & stories. We saw a lot in the short time we were on the tour.

Great Experience for Visiting Cruiser

Linda_K, Oct 2025
I could pick and choose areas I had not previously explored. And when finished it took me right back to the cruise terminal. Couldn’t have asked for better experience.

Not What I Expected

Randy_S, Oct 2025
Not much to do at the stops. Just buildings to see from the trolley. Thot we could get off at a stop and get back on at another stop. Good luck finding it. Maps were almost worthless and the stops were not clearly marked. Disappointing to say the least.

So many trollys with the...

So many trollys with the same names but were only available in certain locations and had to find the right ones. Not easy

First Time to Boston

Donna_C, Oct 2025
The Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley was a good way for us to see and visit the main sights of Boston. The drivers, especially Crafty, were very knowledgeable and entertaining as they told us about the city. Unlike other hop-on hop-off buses that usually get used for transportation to different areas, this seemed to be much more of a tour. It’s great for individuals wishing to just ride & sightsee, but a little inconvenient for those using it also as transport.

Next in line

nice ride through Boston. Be ready for long wait time for several buses to get to you in the line. Beenie was an informative and fun driver

Hop on tour of Boston

Patti_C, Oct 2025
Waited 45 minutes for the first trolley. On the second trolley we were in, the driver should have stayed home. He was hard to understand because he was coughing so much and his voice was horse. Other than those 2 things, it was great

Fun day in boston

Melissa_G, Sep 2025
Very fun and extremely convenient. Love everything about the hop on hop off. Would use the service every time we visit

Great overview of the city

Melanie_K, Aug 2025
Great overview of the city. Drivers gave out a lot of information. Stops where great to get off and explore then get back on.

Great, Fun and economical way to spend a day before or after a cruise

Elizabeth_B, Aug 2025
It was a great experience. We got off our cruise ship, had our luggage held at Boston’s Amtrak South Station, spent the day enjoying Boston and our tour guide Timbo and walked back from the Boston Tea Party to get our luggage and catch a $2.80 bus to Logan airport. Timbo was a great guide - he knew the area and made it come alive. Our second guide was not as knowledgeable, but good.

Good way to see...

Lisa_C, Jul 2025
Good way to see highlights if you are short on time or not. Tour guides were friendly and Mary(possibly Mariann) easy to understand and even stopped traffic so we could all get a great shot of the statue of George Washington in the park.

Boston Trolly

Becky_S, Jun 2025
Rocky was wonderful! She answered all of our questions and was a great guide.Thanks so much for the tour!

Was denied bus ride!!!

Lisa_H, Jun 2025
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.

Busy Day in Boston

Catherine_B, Jun 2025
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.

This tour gives you a...

Snow, Jun 2025
This tour gives you a chance to see many sights in one day. Drop off and pick up was good after we found the initial pick up spot.

Ride!

Patti_P, Mar 2025
We really enjoed it! The drivers were all knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a great day. We'd recommend it.

Nice place

Lina_P, Nov 2024
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.

Each driver/tour guide gives this tour a different vibe!

Dale_W, Nov 2024
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

Regina_G, Nov 2024
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.

Horrible!!

Michele_O, Oct 2024
The trolley was diffidently over booked. Never a seat available. Worst experience ever! Had to Uber back to the ship

Terrible. Would never recommend

Candy_J, Oct 2024
There was none. This was the worst excursion we had. This hop on hop off was always so full we could never get back on and after waiting for well over an hour at one stop had to call and Uber to get back to our shop on time.

Boston hop on and off excursion

Patty_W, Oct 2024
The Boston hop on off trolley was terrible. We waited for hours at each stop because of no seats. Our last stop to get to our ship we never could get on. Had to then pay for an Uber. I want a refund We didn’t see mych at all just stood in line. Terrible experience

Nice tour

Linda_H, Oct 2024
The trolley and driver were wonderful. Great experience. The reason I only gave 3 stars were the rude people riding with us. People talked very loud amongst themselves even when asked to speak in a whisper. It made it difficult to hear the driver. I was sad that there are people so in considerate of others.

Not worth the money

giulio_d, Oct 2024
The waiting for a shuttle was in average 30 minutes. Often shuttle was already filled to capacity when it arrived. Spent more time waiting for a shuttle than actually touring Boston. Not worth the money.

Boston in a nutshell

Sobeida_B, Oct 2024
Nice to see in two hours the city of Boston and the driver gave a good history of the city It is highly recommended

Great service, but totally overbooked

Matt_B, Oct 2024
People were super nice, but those who bought with the ship had priority. We were unceremoniously directed to a far away stand. After a half a mile walk to reach the stand (folks were totally nice and helpful there) - we were told we would likely wait upward of 30 mins for availability for a bus… we waited 15 mins and found that was the walk time to the area we really wanted to go, so we just walked there. We did get a pickup on the way back after waiting 20-30 mins, but there was no narration. Again, super nice driver/good service, but we waited forever for a non-narrated bus ride back. So yeah, about $130 for a 20 min one-way bus ride. They really just need more busses to allow for more frequent service or need to limit bookings.

Great drivers with exceptional knowledge and story telling. Stops at the historical areas were perfect.

Karen_S, Oct 2024
The historic knowledge and story telling of each driver made the trip memorable. The buses were comfortable and there was very little wait time to hop back on after visiting the sites.
