I’ve done the Summer Nights tour and river cruise twice now. I had so much fun both times. Boston is a fun city full of tons of history. Crafty was my guide both times. He’s funny and very knowledgeable! He loves his city! Maine highly recommends!

This was a fun and easy way to see a lot of Boston. We were easily able to get on and off at all the different stops of the Trolley. The stadium seat and big open windows was very nice to be able to see everything. Booking this would be a great way to spend the whole day. Plus it helps you get a good idea of what you might want to see up close or just pass by in the trolley. If you get on in the morning and get off at many stops you could spend the whole day doing it. Most of the tour guides were good. The one thing we wish we were told and will help you (because no tour guides told us) is the Seaport or Blue line is very short, it's not narrated, and nothing really to see. You could just skip this line all together, unless you are staying at one of the hotels down there or there was a specific restaurant you want down there. You can buy the combo ticket for the Boston Tea Party Museum and Old Town Trolley Tour and you will save money.

If you want a great way to see Boston and not have to walk till your feet fall off then this is for you.
There are a couple of different trolleys that take you to different areas of Boston. The bus driver will give you information about each area as you pass it.

Taking this trolley made me really glad that I opted to not drive around Boston because traffic is crazy busy. This means that the trolley doesn't go too fast. The advantage of that is it's really easy to take pictures of what's out the window.

A lot of people seem to buy tickets for this trolley and you have to wait in line to get on one. You may have to wait for a second bus to come around because they are so full.

The day that we took the trolley was a nice day so the windows were down. When I say the windows were down I mean that they're plastic flaps that were taken off so you could just easily stick your arms out and there wasn't actually any window there. This provided a nice little breeze and easy visibility.

The tour was nice and informative and we learned a lot. I mostly learned that I would rather visit Boston and not live in Boston.

I was surprised by how little of the colonial times were preserved and a lot of the older structures were late 1800s to early 1900s.

Riding the trolley feels nice and relaxing and was wonderful to see all sorts of different sites. I would definitely recommend doing this trolley tour, especially if you're on a second or third day of sightseeing in Boston and you want to give your legs a break.

Enjoy a great tour of Boston with Papa Jim for the 1st ride, then boarded a 2nd time with Chef. Both were very entertaining and knowledgeable!

I really enjoyed the Old Town Trolley Tour of Boston.  I took the tour to Stop #7 (Cheers).  I got off there and went on a tour of the nearby MA St. House.  Afterwards, I visited Cheers, which was a lot of fun, as well.  I hopped back on the Tour bus after that.  It returned to Stop #1 about an hour later.  Both of the drivers that I had (Hummer & Lurch) were entertaining, fun and informative.  I also liked the pre-recorded safety messages.  The Humphrey Bogart and Richard Nixon versions were really funny.
