We appreciated seeing and learning about the historical places in Boston. The drivers were wonderfully helpful especially our final driver who had finished for the day but took pity on us and got permission to return us to the first stop so we could get to our car. You are doing an excellent service.

The old town trolley tour is the best way to have an insight of Boston landmarks. The bus driver gave valuable information of each landmark as you pass by. You can hop off and on in any of the stops and you can even switch with trolley lines with the same ticket.

This is a great way to explore Boston and get a historical narrative. However, I think the trolleys get too many people and then when you're trying to actually hop-on and hop-off, it turns into a waiting game, which in turn you don't want to get off the trolley anymore because you're not sure when you might get back on. Otherwise, it is a great way to get to some of the farther places that may take too long to walk to.
