“The trolley has changed so much from when we first did the tour a few years ago. The trollies are much more comfortable now and there are more of them, meaning you feel more confident in being able to hop on and hop off without a long wait to re-board, especially if you've hopped off at a less popular stop. It's so good to still have a 'live narration', it makes so much difference having a person providing the commentary! This is a great way to see Boston, especially if it's your first visit Great value, definitely recommend.”
