“You can hope on and off whenever you want” is more accurately “you’re going to need to hop on and off if you expect to see anything. But be warned that there might not be a seat on the next trolley for you.” While the guide was friendly and entertaining, there frankly wasn’t a lot to see without getting out and walking around, something we really didn’t risk doing because at every stop we saw people try to get on the trolley when there were no seats available. It would be painful to wait 1/2 hour for the next trolley. Over and over again. There was tons of “do you see the tip of that steeple way in the distance. You can get out here, walk three blocks and check it out. It’s closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, but you can go check out the outside.” And “we can’t stop at Fenway park or Harvard, but you can get out here and take a subway three blocks away.” That type of thing at almost every stop. You’d figure that if there wasn’t much to see, this would at least be a good form of transportation. Nope. It hits the perimeter of town mostly, but almost each stop basically points you to the center of town, something you could easily manage on foot if you just walk the very manageable freedom trail. And you’d see much much more in 1/5 the time. If this trolley ran in two different directions you’d have a good selling point as it could be a good way to get around town. I’m not really sure why it doesn’t just zip straight down the middle of town where you can actually see stuff, perhaps because it would be a 20 minute tour. The few places that MIGHT interest you (if they’re not closed such as the tea party boats and just about everything else) you can take a cheap cab to. You don’t need pay $50 a person. If I ever visit again it will be a walk of the freedom trail and maybe a cab to one of the furthest points on their map (maybe the USS Constitution or the tea party?). My pocket would be $200 heavier and my day would be half as occupied. Seems like one of the biggest features of this tour was the terribly designed roads, jammed up with double parking and construction. Stop 1 is the only one you need. Get a map and walk around in that area. Find the freedom trail, get some cannolis, hang out by the water.

My favorite part of the excursion was the tour narrator, Hercules he was exceptional with solid information, informative and quite funny. If you are in Boston please get on his tour bus, he would encourage you to ask each dog owner we pass by to pat their dogs. It was hysterical. Exceptional job done Hercules!!!

I would recommend this excursion it makes it easy to get around Boston the driver was very nice very informative they explained each stop making jokes and playing music we stopped at the cheers bar to have a few drinks and some hot wings I must do. I had to do a pass so I was about to go on the 45 min boat ride which was nice as well. It’s worth the money

We thoroughly enjoyed getting on the trolley and hearing about all the points of interest. We'd had a very bad experience in Washington, DC so we were a bit afraid of another bus tour, but this was so awesome! We got on at stop 5 and stayed with the same driver to stop 15 - I'd love to remember her name - Savannaah or some long name that began with an S. She was so helpful! We got on the bus late in the day and were really afraid to get off at a stop for fear we'd miss the rest of the tour. She encouraged us to get off at the Tea Party museum and it was and excellent choice!! She also assured us we'd have plenty of time to catch a Trolley after the tour. Batman picked us up after that and it was his last stop. We knew he was only going back to stop 1 but that was closer to Little Italy where we were trying to end up. He actually got told us the best part of little Italy and drove us up a bit closer! I only wish we'd had an extra day in Boston so we could have gotten the 2 day pass.

We have done that in many other places before and always liked the concept of getting an overview over a city and explore the places on the go. But this was a very bad experience. You do not get headphones with a professional speaker commenting the tour, it is the busdriver with a micro who talks about the places while manoevering through the heavy traffic! Difficult to understand, especially if you are in the back of the bus. If you hop off and want to get on the bus again, it gets extremely complicated. You only have a very vague map with the bus stops, and there are no trolley bus signs on the stops. So you can only guess where the stops might be, and in most cases your guesses are wrong. If you see the bus, run behind it waving your arms so that he waits for you, they only wait for you 2 seconds and then leave right off your face. In the evening after spending half a day waiting in windy places we came back to our hotel, tired and frozen. Not much of an experience, but an expensive one! 46 $ per person is way too much for what they offer you.

On Oct 16, '19, my wife and I wanted to celebrate my birthday by taking a tour bus through Boston. We asked the receptionist at our hotel, Courtyard Boston Downtown/North Station. She advised us to choose Old Town Trolley Tours. We had an early start and the 1st leg of our trip went very well. We hopped off to see Old Ironsides. When we returned to the bus stop to get back on the tour bus, there was a line of about 15 people waiting. When the next bus came, it was full and noone was getting off. We all waited for the next bus, which was also full, and the next bus had 2 seats. Since we were about 15 people back, we did not get on. It became obvious that we were not going to get back on for a long time, so my wife and I walked back (over the bridge, in the rain) to our hotel and asked for a refund. The girl who sold us the tickets denied any responsibility for the tour lines. Bottom line, they overbooked their tours at the peril of their customers. We should have chosen CityView Trolley Tours, which was cheaper and was Not overbooked

Allowed us to hear about Boson and the history of, while seeing the sights. Also allowed us to jump off and explore, then jump back on to move to another area. Guides had great energy.
