Feliza_G, Aug 2023
I was traveling for work solo and this was a great opportunity to see Boston after my conference! I felt safe! It was fun and entertaining. I enjoy learning about the town. I definitely would recommend this to anyone wanting to see the city. It was easy to find at the meet spot. I love seeing all the neighborhoods without having to drive around in a city I don’t know!
Awesome sundown Boston tour
Lila_L, Aug 2023
Our tour guide was awesome - I think his name was Steve. I took the tour on Sunday night the 20th. It was a blast. He was a blast. Fun, knowledgeable, gregarious. I loved it! Sooooo highly recommend!
Sunset Sing Along Excursion!
Joyce_A, Aug 2023
The most memorable parts of the tour was the sing-alongs, learning new things like info about Melissa Eldridge and how she started, Baltimore Ravens, the teapot, etc.
I know Boston is great now!
Kevin_P, Aug 2023
It was a more relaxed tour than the hop-on hop-off version that my wife did earlier in the week. The guide was wonderfully funny and did the appropriate amount of explaining and letting us just enjoy the sites on a good summer night.
Great tour for those with little time to site see
Caroline_K, Aug 2023
I was unfortunately sitting in the back of the trolley not next to the window, so pictures weren’t great, but the tour guide/driver was unbelievable! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Boston and was able to tell us so much. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Driver wasn’t good. He didn’t tell us anything about the what we were seeing. He played music.
MaryKay_N, Aug 2023
Sites were great. Ask about experience of driver. Ours wasn’t good. He talked about everything but what we were seeing. I wanted to know history if buildings and what they were. Worth the money but check in driver.
Jamming through Boston!

Summer Fun
Anthony_A, Jul 2023
After walking through Boston, the summer night tour was the perfect accent to the day; the tour was fun and informative. Captain Matty was humorous and energetic which added to the experience. The sires of Boston were enhanced by the tour.
Great Tour

Best way to visit the city if you are in town for a short period time. In the evening, most of the city has started to quiet down and the weather has cooled off.

Nice Trolley Ride
Jen_D, Jun 2023
If you want a nice relaxing driving tour around Boston, this one might be for you. Capt. Matt was cracking jokes and providing some nice background on the neighborhoods we were driving through.
Didn’t show up
taylorhesse18, Jun 2023
They didn’t show up. The location at 3 Park Plaza is shuttered and closed. My group of 17 called and only got an answer a couple times. They said traffic and they would show up at 8. At 8 they stopped answering our phone calls.
