A very efficient way to get a sample of Boston. Hits major sites and easy off and on opportunities, Guides are very knowledgeable. Stops are near major attractions. About 15 minutes between trolleys. I recommend this tour. Very reasonable compare to ther tours.

Knowledgeable, Friendly & Fun Drivers….. you can do as much or as little as you want in a day. Stops were very easy to navigate and provided a lot of options for sightseeing! You’re able to go at your own pace & set your own schedule!

Having the trolley there to get around the city was great! They took us to places we would not have seen otherwise. It was also easy to hop off the bus and go where we wanted when we wanted.

A fun way to tour Boston. The Trolley drivers were knowledgeable and entertaining. And we could choose to get off at stops that we liked, knowing it was only a short wait to catch the next Trolley. There were great maps on the trolley showing their route and various stops.

A bit of a joke
November 01, 2023
We had 6 hours from when our cruise ship docked until the trolleys stopped at 5 o’clock. We were driven from the cruise port trolley stop to the first stop and told we needed to change trolleys. We literally stood in line for 2 hours waiting for a trolley that had space for 4 of us. That left us only 4 hours to explore. It was so busy that we went by a couple of stops with people waiting to be picked up but no room on the trolleys to accommodate them. The drivers commentaries were very good and we enjoyed that but since the system was so crowded we were always scared we wouldn’t get back before the last trolley. So we couldn’t explore like we anticipated. Would highly recommend this if you are staying in Boston but suggest something different if you’re on a cruise and have something in particular you want to do or see

Fabulous way of getting on most of the sights. The tours are very well organized to deal with the volumes that come off of the boat so do not be concerned!! Apparantly each driver has different stories and so each experience will be different. We chose to stay with the same driver, but that is not necessary at all. Information was interesting and sufficent as a sampler when doing so much.

Thank you shore excursionsgroup.com, I was totally satisfied with the Old Town Trolley Tour of Boston. I have used shore excursions group in the past, on other cruises and saved a lot of money. I will most likely use them again on my next cruise I can’t remember the tour guide’s name, but he was so nice and a great tour guide.. Thanks again, Marty

You must plan to spend lots of time on this tour. It goes all over the Boston area. Ideally, the tour should be broken into 2 days, if you want to get off the trolley and do some exploring. The trolley drivers are a hoot!

Old Town Trolley Tour was worth the ride!!
October 18, 2022
We took this excursion on our Sep 2022 cruise & enjoyed the day visiting the sights of Boston. The bus was easy to find & board - picked us up at the end of the cruise terminal parking lot. Windows were large so everyone could see from their seats. 1st stop was at the corner of Court & State by Old State House near Faneuil Hall Marketplace. So much to see! After walking you will appreciate hopping back on. Finding the route stops was easy. Each time you were on the bus your ride was narrated by the driver/tour guide who was a wealth of information about the city and it's history. Normally there were several things to see within a few blocks of each stop. I believe the entire route takes about 90 minutes if you just ride. The excursion from the cruise line, excursion site, or directly from the company are all the same tour using the same busses. Be sure to have every take a picture of the ticket so they can each get on the bus if you get separated.

Nice Tour For Getting Around Boston
October 17, 2019
We liked the tour because we were able to get off at stops to see the major historical sites of Boston. We didn't wait too long for buses with available seats to pick us up but I heard from others on the buses that they waited an hour or more before a bus with seating came to their stop(s). We were disappointed that the stop for Cambridge/Harvard/MIT was removed from the day of our tour.

Many Trollies drove around many areas of the city. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Only thing was so many stops and not enough time to get out check out the different areas of the city when you are only there for several hours especially if you want to get a bite to eat. Also trollies were always crowded and sometimes you had to wait to get back on if you wanted to go to a different area.

Good Overview of Boston

I've taken Old Town tours in D.C. and Key West, and now Boston. Always first rate. With our ship in port for only one day, this 3hr tour was the idea way to get a good glimpse of Boston and its major sights. Pick up was near the cruise terminal and drop off was at the front door of the terminal. $$ well spent.

The Old Town Trolley hit the highlights of Boston, giving riders to option to get off at multiple stops, then re-board a trolley at a later time. The trolley was at the end of the pier, a short walk from the ship. At the end of the day, the trolley dropped us off right AT the ship. A nice surprise. Well worth the cost for this day of sightseeing.

We really enjoyed the trolley tour of Boston. The first day we just road the trolley on the entire tour - and the driver told us tons of interesting info of the town & suggested things to see and do at each stop. Then the next day we used the trolley as transportation around town to see the things we wanted to do.
