Boston Ghost Tours by Ghosts & Gravestones: what do users think?
Michael Dicellis: Not worth the price or your. Waste of 2 hours
Paul Rudovic: First time in Boston, and wanted to take my Girlfriend on a historic tour with a twist on it. We both had a lot of fun! “Betty”, our tour guide”, was knowledgeable and entertaining, as well as everyone else on the staff. Definitely recommend doing the tour at night: adds to the ambience. If you like Ghost tours, don’t skip out on this one!
Eileen Robley: We had a great time on the tour, best thing we did in our three day visit. We loved hearing about all the ghosts at the Parker House, especially as we were staying there. Our guide, Bernard, was really good, very energetic and funny. It's a great way to spend to see Boston and to learn some alternative history.
Lisa Edmonds: What a great experience. I had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. Mixing humor with facts was a very smart idea. I would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend this tour
Dean Rossano: Our guide was great!
Cassie Struck: Our guide really made this an amazing tour. She was theatrical but not in a cheesy way, which is hard to pull off. She was lovely and was an excellent guide. We got to see some of the oldest cemeteries in Boston after hours (she had a key to open the gates after hours) and hear more about the history of the city. Fun way to see another side of the city.
Brent Langrehr: Almost overlooked this since I’m not really into “ghosts.” Our tour guide, who I can’t remember the name of unfortunately, was such a delight and very entertaining. It was much more educating than I thought it would be which is why I came to Boston in the first place to have a learning vacation.Would definitely do this again if I get the chance to bring my parents.
Tiela Halpin: This is the 2nd G&G tour my husband have taken this year. The first was in Key West on a whim back in February. We enjoyed it enough that when we were making plans with my MIL to visit Boston for my husband's birthday we booked another.Once again, a great experience. Dare I say even better than our first. We were lucky enough to have Bernard as our guide, and whether his attitude and accent were genuine or not he was GREAT! I'm really the one that likes all the spookier things and Bernard's style felt tailor made for my taste, haha. Between spookystories, history, and jokes he nailed it all.I work in tourism in Chicago (river architecture guide) and I always say I try to give the kind of tour I'd want to take. And from the amount of fun he seemed to be having, it would seem Bernard is of a similar mind. If G&G ever tried expanding to Chicago, I'd be tempted to apply, haha.Highly recommend. Worth every penny. Cash or venmo options for tipping- and you absolutely SHOULD tip your tour guide.
Christine Rossano: we went on our tour on 4/28/23. All of your staff are fabulous. Our guide in particular was amazing. She was funny, interesting and a wonderful actress. She barely broke character and her delivery was seamless. A must do if you go to Boston
Human: Had so much fun on this tour! The guide was a lady that I think went by Dolly while in costume. I wish they had Venmo so I could have tipped her. She was phenomenal and I felt including being on the tour by myself. Great experience.
Ziggy Zip: On a night colder than a corpse, my daughter and I took this tour. They would have made a killing if they sold hot coffee and chocolate.Despite the cold, Zed, our zombie tour guide, regailed our group with stories of tragic haunts and unsolved killings as the bus wound its way through the North End. Zed and later gravedigger Jack, led us through Kings Chapel and The Granary cemeteries and Boston Commons, pointing out famous graves and sharing morbid facts.The cast was knowledgeable, entertaining and seemingly impervious to the cold. They cover a couple hundred years of history with stories of murder, intrigue and macarbe truths. The creepiest part is learning where all the bodies are buried. There are parts of Boston I will never look at the same way again. And kudos to the bus driver for navigating those narrow streets.This was definitely a worthwhile tour! But if you book tickets in the winter, bundle TF up! The bus stops feeling warm after the first cemetery and the tour guides are immune to cold.
Maria Leece: My friends and I thought this was going to be a somewhat scary tour. It was very gimmicky and nothing what we thought it would be. The information they shared about the history of some of the places we visited was great, but the guides remained in character with them trying to sound scary, costumes and makeup were meant to make them look old and look dead. It wasn’t worth the $47.
Jaclyn Disher: This was a spectacular evening with our Ghoulish tour guide (we forget her name!). She was petite with an English accent and she was delightful. It took TONS of energy to tell all the stories she did and not break character. Definitely worth the money and time. Would totally recommend to others!
שלמה גלידאי: Not very attractive to those who come from other countries.
Mylène Bélanger: The best ghost tour I've done so far! Our guide was excellent! Atmosphere was spooky and we laughed and learned a lot. A must seen!
Chris Webb: We decided to try a tour as we were visiting colleges in the Boston area. I thought it would be a lot more jumping out at us like a haunted walk - it was not. It was very informative, interesting and educational. The guide provided very well-researched history. Great balance of in-character and out-of-character commentary. Might be less enjoyable in inclement weather.
Ashlee Quintana: The most fun your i’ve ever done. The tour guide was amazing and interacted with everybody individually before the tour.
Ryan Smith: Great tour of the graveyards of Boston. Funny at times, spooky at times, and an all-around great family fun time! This, the Trolley Tour, the Freedom Trail and the Tea Party Museum are MUST-DO for traveling in Boston.
Howard Rowe: Everyone in my family enjoyed this ghost tour. We visited Copps Hill Burying Ground and Kings Chapel Burying Ground. The tour guide was fantastic and made the tour both educational and entertaining. She told ghost tales from the colonial period and talked about the Boston Strangler. Would recommend this tour to everyone (age 13 and above).
Justyna Wrebel: My Husband and I went on this tour and we both had a great time. The guide Mercer was funny and informative as she seemed to enjoy her job and the history of Boston great history.
Brian Hall: I recommend going :

Boston Ghosts: what do users think?
Julie Katz: The tour started on time. The guide was knowledgeable and dressed appropriately to tell ghost stories. A memorable experience we will never forget!
Jason Phillips: Our tour guide, Beau, was excellent! Had great knowledge of the area and shared entertaining ghost stories throughout!
Jenny Baker: Take this tour for the ghost stories or just for the history. Definitely worth the time!
Jodie Goldberg: Our tour guide was Josh. While his personality was dynamic his storytelling was all over the place - I didn’t get a sense of history nor was I that interested in the stories being told. We have been on several ghost tours in several cities and what makes them are people who know the names of the ghosts, the history, and provide more color to telling these tales. Everyone has a woman in white who was hung. Add her name, details about her life. Who was her husband? When was the last time she was spotted? Unfortunately we don’t live there so won’t be able to give it a second chance.
Sheila-Marie Untiedt: Great information and well presented
Emily Mavrelis: Super great! Loved all her historical knowledge! Had a great time, she was very friendly and connected to the city. She had a great unexpected literature history base. The written word is how we record history and she seemed to have a love of who we are and where we have come from as Americans. I did lots of research before my trip. Been to 40 countries and 45 states. Beau added stories and locations that were unexpected. Just do it!!!!
american1975: Wonderful experience, guide a very entertaining and good story teller. Great with kids.
Josh Kobusinski: Lily was a great tour guide, and the content of the tour was really fun. It was a mix of Boston history and popular ghost stories in the historical areas. If you like those two things, you'll like the tour. It wasn't exactly terrifying, but if you don't go in expecting to be terrified you probably won't be disappointed.
Stacey Symonds: Amber scared us all with her spooky stories! It was a very interesting tour with both historical and modern ghost stories and diverse stops including the athaneum. Would recommend for those looking for something a little different than just basic Boston history.
Courtey Winegar: You’re covered a lot of stuff but in a fun way! It was really good for all amber was a great guide!
Patrick Gerrits: Fantastic!
Ryan Meacham: We ordered the extended tour for a large group and ended up with a slightly high, not dressed for the part, stuttering, and inexperienced tour guide who was extremely unprofessional. He didnt know the stories, had to ask the audience questions, didnt have a microphone, and didnt give us anything creepy at all. Worst yet was that the NORMAL tour had a well dressed, well experienced, creepy looking and good story telling tour guide that left me envying them. The normal tour went THROUGH graveyards and cursed hotels while us on the extended tour only got to look at them. We left early because it was so terrible. 1 star or less
Elizabeth Anderton: My daughter and I were in town touring colleges and thought it would be fun to book an evening ghost tour, and I'm glad we did! This was a small group of 4 (my daughter and I and a father/ daughter pair).The tour guide, Lily, was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about the history of Boston's notorious haunted hot spots, and was very engaging in her storytelling. It was an excellent way to get out, get some exercise and learn about some of the more dark and macabre history of Boston! Definitely time and money well spent!
Yvonne Murray: A nice group of 12 strangers were on this group and we were a lovely bunch, Mike really loves hi job and 8 of later went on to have dinner at Carrie Nation to celebrate a 30th birthday next Tuesday. Great to have meet you. Yvonne Uk.
Taylor Murchie: joshua was great! very knowledgeable about the local area
Julie Barnson: We had so much fun! It was a great balance of history and spooky!
Shuktara Das: Loved the stories and the way they were presented
Jim Cirrone: Great Ghost Story telling, a lot of walking but it was a blast doing the Pub crawl. Host was great and met a bunch of really cool people.
Andy Dey: Micheal was a great guide. Lots of informative facts and humor!
Lauren Jernigan: Our tour guide, Michael, was highly knowledgeable and provided a terrific tour with fantastic stories along the way. I highly recommend this tour!
Emily McCloskey: Bo was an amazing tour guide! We had a great experience!

The Freedom Trail Foundation: what do users think?
BeardMan: Long walk
cuneyt camgoz: Harika
Ashlyn Kuehmichel: Do yourself a favor and make sure you take a tour from "Phillis Wheatley." She is knowledgeable about history from the standpoint of someone who actually studied American History in grad school, and isn't regurgitating the dumbed-down, largely misleading, "history" taught in grade school. She is intelligent, witty, and doesn't shy away from commentary that challenges the status quo.She is the most engaging and knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. She is hysterical, and makes American History accessible for people who don't fit the "white conservative male" mold--you know, the people our history books were written for.
D: Try to get a swing, feels amazing. One of the best places to eat your meals and people watch
Hallie Bond: We loved our tour with “Christopher Gore.” Very informative, speckled throughout with humor, and rich in detail. We learned so much! A few tips: dress warm if it’s chilly (we were glad we brought our hats and scarves), wear comfortable shoes, and stay near the front of the group to ensure you can hear the guide. Highly recommend this incredible learning experience.
Alex Morales: All about History
Elisa Obedoza: Our tour guide, Dr. Joseph Warren was FANTASTIC! He kept the tour engaging and was not boring at all, which is really important since the tour is about 90 mins long. He was very informative and cracked a lot of jokes. He answered all our questions and brought the history to life! Highly recommend going on tour w him if you can!Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No Price for adult entry $16–20 …More
Tim Bennett: Went as part of a university group, and was pleased by the intimate nature of the tour. Isaiah Thomas was an excellent and knowledgeable guide and provided great insight into events both current and historical. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city for the first time!Visited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min …More
brian edel: Pretty cool walking tour with informative guides
Ed McLatchie: It’s a long way so be prepared for a couple of hours walking. I downloaded an online guide so that we could read about each location which was helpful. There were plenty of places to stop and have a break, Quincy market has just about anything you want to eat and it is next to Faneuil Hall, where the rangers give an interesting talk every hour or so explaining how the movement for Independence started right there. It finished at Bunker Hill and this is also near the historic Naval Yard
Dott. Riccardo Cacioli: Bellissima Boston, a misura d'uomo
Amir Natan: סיור מעניין מאוד שעובר בכל נקודות ההיסטוריה של בוסטון. יש סיורים שיוצאים במסגרת קבוצה עם מדריך שנותן הסברים ליד כל נקודת עניין. מומלץ
Peter Duckett: We did the walking tour with Ryan and he was amazing. Really interesting and engaging, well worth it and I'd recommend anyone do it who is new in the city on vacation!
Jen Clark: Great experience through history!
Kent Lyman: Went on a walking tour with our guide "Nathaniel Hutchins" AKA Matthew. He was informative, friendly, and funny. Well worth the price of admission. The walk was not long at all but packed in a ton of information for the 1.5 hour tour.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $16–20 …More
Eero Kivinen: Attended the tour guided by Jeremiah. Was an excellent guide and tour both in terms of revolutionary history and also more contemporary history. And also was a lot of fun. Definitely worth the money to take the guided tour.
Eliav Yitzhak: This was absolutely fantastic. The guide "SAMUEL PRESCOTT" was funny and very informative and was great with kids. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Make sure to go have a cold Samuel Adams (beer) while looking at a cold Samuel Adams (grave)! (GROAN)Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry $16–20 …More
laura berger: We had the best tour guided by Isiah Thomas! He was extremely witty, charming, and knowledgeable. This was definitely the best tour guided experience we’ve had. I think that these types of tours can get a bit corny but Isiah weaved in the old and new very well. Thank you for such an informative and fun tour.
Lauren Gilbert (LayaVideos11): Isaiah Thomas was my class’ tour guide and he was PHENOMENAL (says the words of my teacher and me as well) he was hilarious and as students we learned a lot about the history of Boston!
Teresa Benedict: My brother and I enjoyed the FT tour with Issaiah Thomas this afternoon! It was windy and cold but he kept us entertained and absorbed in Boston history the whole time! We were sad for it to end but grateful we decided to spend the 16 dollars on this wonderful trip through time!
Brittnee Collins: Greetings! My family & I attended the Freedom Trail tour today with Jeremiah Poope. He was an excellent tour guide who displayed not only his knowledge of historic Boston but also some well-needed humor to boot! He kept his audience engaged the entire 1 1/2 hours. As a history & English buff myself, I truly appreciated his depth of wisdom on the history of this nation. Thank you Jeremiah!

Cambridge Historical Tours: what do users think?
Jenny Woodthorpe: This was such an enjoyable walking tour of the Freedom trail and to hear the stories of the American Revolution. Charlie was a terrific guide, telling facts and anecdotes with enthusiasm - he loves his history so much, we couldn't help but get swept away too. Thank you Charlie for making this such a fantastic Boston experience.
Sandy Crosslin: Definitely recommend this tour. Charlie was very knowledgeable and a great story teller.
Jessica Taylor: We absolutely LOVED this tour! Mark was our guide and he was incredibly informative and so much fun. The group was a perfect size and the amount of walking wasn’t too much at all. Highly recommend this and, in fact, if I get to go back to Boston I would do this tour again.
LS Tours: We hired a step on guide from Cambridge Historical Tours to conduct a school group tour for 3 days and our group was VERY PLEASED! Shout out to Sam who the group gave him a 10 out of 10. We will definitely use there services in the future for groups we have coming to the area. Thanks again!
Danielle Schulz: The best!!! We hired Cambridge Historical Tours to lead three tours for a law firm’s retreat. Daniel and his team came highly recommended by the concierge and they did not disappoint. He was a dream to work with and boy, did he deliver. His tours are fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and of the highest quality. They were a highlight of the trip. Our guests could not stop talking about the experience. Highly recommended. You’re in for a treat!
Greg Webb: Charlie was fantastic. Great information. Loved it.
Shakyra Sanchez: Amazing tour! Charlie is a great and knowledgeable tour guide.
Maura Nolan: Took the Freedom Tour today, with Charlie Riggs. Wow! Two & a half hours of information, wit, great stories and anecdotes about a multitude of led Olde Boston luminaries! Charlie brings much intellectual heft but leavens it with so much human-interest. His energy is infectious. Take this tour if you get a chance. He covers a lot of territory in this fascinating city - geographically and historically.
Daniel Tyrväinen: I was fortunate enough to get a private tour which was a rather complete guide of the history of Boston. The tour guide was professional and was clearly interested in the topics as well which made the tour more engaging. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody seeking to get a detailed tour of the Freedom Trail.
Nikki Wiseman: Tour guide was 30 minutes late. Guide told interesting stories but not a lot of history of the American Revolution
Nell Maloney: We had a fantastic tour with Daniel along the Freedom Trail. Great stories. Kept us engaged for hours including our 11 and 14yo. Informative and entertaining. Definitely recommend for history buffs.
Melissa molina: It was a great tour! My husband and I really enjoyed our guide as he was easy to listen to while explaining everything along the way. I would do this tour again!
Charity C: Noah was a fantastic guide! Kept the 2.5 hrs engaging and fun so the time went by pretty fast. Such a great, well-rounded tour with all kinds of fun facts. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Brigette Auld: Best tour company around!! Stewart led our tour on the Freedom Trail and he is the best story teller there is! He was absolutely captivating - for both history buffs and others.We also did a pub crawl with the company and they took us to some amazing bars with rich history. It was a truly unique experience to be having a drink in the same place Kennedy had his bachelor party and where they met to prepare for the Boston Tea Party.This company truly has the best tour guides around - phenomenal story tellers who have a true love of their city and it's history. I can't say enough good things about them!
Leslie Modica: Had a fantastic experience on the Cambridge Ghost Tour with Alyssa! My two sisters and I got a default private tour on a Wednesday and had such a great time. We wanted to do something fun for Halloween to take out one sister visiting from out of town and I landed on this tour because I want more than just costumes and antics. Alyssa's historical knowledge of Harvard and Cambridge added a layer of depth to the stories that set this tour apart. She even was able to conjure spooky, mood-setting fog in the graveyard :) I am local to the area and this made me want to book another historic tour to learn more!
Robert Russell: We had a wonderful tour with Rob Crean on October 25. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend him!
Nathan Martin: Came all the way from Indianapolis but our tour guide Rob Crean made this one of the highlights of our whole trip. He was not only very knowledgeable on the tour but as a whole with the city of Boston. He had a hilarious sense of humor, contagious attitude and was very thoughtful of everyone in our group and city pedestrians driving and walking by. Hands down would recommend across the board and if you do make sure to book with Rob because this guy knows and loves Boston!
Derek Chinn: Freedom Trail Tour on a perfect fall day. Mark L is an ideal guide: an experienced stage performer and history teacher. Informative, lively, and interactive. Mark repeatedly tied the past to the present and kept us engaged and entertained.
Nick Felker: I was impressed by this ghostly tour of Harvard I went on. The host told eerie tales while also giving us a brief tour of Harvard and it was educational.
Emmy I.: Shout out to our tour guide, Julia! She was beyond knowledgeable, engaging, and had a voice that carried well over the bustle of the city. This tour was not only enjoyable for its historical anecdotes, but it was a great start to our vacation because it helped acclimate us to the city. I would highly recommend this activity.
Max Lawton: Fun way to spend an evening around Harvard Square hearing some creepy stories!

Boston Town Crier - Tours of Freedom Trail: what do users think?
Adam Bryant: The tour was incredible! Samuel Gray was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. My family thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
Jake Kirby: One of the best walking tours I’ve ever been on. Informative, funny, and very interesting. Your guide poope is the man you want for a tour!
Awesomebrix: Fantastic walking tour of the first portion of the freedom trail. Our tour guide (Isiah maybe?) was fantastic. He was funny, but very informative. Lots of history that you wouldn't otherwise know about. The tour ends near Faneuil Hall/Quincey Market which makes sense. I recommend taking this walking tour.
Wade Williams: Great tour with informative and knowledgeable guides. We went in the winter and they took us to the first 11 stops. Not sure if that is only in winter or not. But we drove to see the other locations. Tour was 1 and a half hours. Very cold in January.
Kylie Jo Rutherford: really enjoyed our tour. we had about 12 people in our group on a rainy NYE. our tour guide Hannah Adams was great, funny, and cheery. She really knew everything there was to know about the freedom trail. she also focused a lot on safety when crossing roads and would only cross unless the entire group could! i’m a history teacher and my partner also enjoys history so we loved it. Highly recommend.
Jesse St Croix: Way to many people in our group. Not so great. Could not get close enough to hear. Not nearly enough history, way to much schtick. I had a hard time walking and his pace really wore me out. He took us onto beacon hill where we were not supposed to go and he could not use his mic. I missed a good chunk of the tour. Waste of my money on this one. No thanks.
Rich n Sue: Thoroughly enjoyed this tour of the Freedom Trail with Boston Town Criers! It was a full 90 minutes on foot through various points of history including the Boston Commons, Park Church, through a.good portion of the Freedom Trail and into the beautiful Granary Burying Grounds on Tremont Street where many of our Revolutionary Patriots, founding fathers, leaders and other special Americans rest. Our tour guide had so many great stories and funny anecdotes...we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or living in Boston!
A. Makela: Excellent walking tour with enough rest in the shade in the summer by our historically dressed guide. Highly recommend the town crier tour. Military, student and senior discounts are available!
John O: Very educational guided tour and a great guide.
Laura Snitcher: Loved our tour guide, “James Otis”. He was well-informed, funny, and did his best to keep us in the shade. This was the highlight of our vacation.Tips:- Make sure to reserve your spot ahead of time, our tour was completely full.- If visiting in the summer, I highly recommend the 9 am tour so you don’t have to walk around in the hottest part of the day.- Tour guide will take you to a lot of the stops on the Freedom Trail, but not all. You will start at Boston Commons and end at Faneuil Hall Marketplace.- Bring a bottle of water and wear sunscreen.It was a good time. Highly recommend.
Luke James: Took a great tour led by the one and only Jeremiah Poope. A great guide with fantastic knowledge of the freedom trail as well as a lot of other Boston facts. Can strongly recommend this tour.
Amy Lynch: “Hannah Adams” was a wonderful tour guide on our Freedom Trail Tour. She was professional, knowledgeable and answered our groups’ questions readily. She shared little known facts and highlighted people who contributed to our country’s history but may not be talked about in our history books. Absolutely would recommend everyone to hire a Town Crier even if they feel knowledgeable about Boston’s locations and Revolutionaries.
Jon: We went on the 12:30 tour on July 10th. Our tour guide was terrific and amazing with all of the knowledge she shared with us. We enjoyed the tour very much and glad we chose Boston Town Crier tours.
Laura Bakanic: Wonderful tour! Our guide "Ben Edes" was fantastic! My kids (4, 7, and 16) thought it would be boring, but became completely engaged! Must do for a first time Boston visitor.
Barry levinson: Excellent Guide and a great way to learn some history
Anna Justis: Excellent historic walking tour of the Downtown portion of the Freedom Trail! Every guide provides a slightly different narration, so worth experiencing it multiple times.
Andrew Smith: Really informative…with a dedication to accuracy and dispelling the myths surrounding the build up to the War of Independence
Andrew McArdle: Boston has a lot of tours and some might be more detailed, but this tour led by Benjamin Yeats was fantastic. Entertaining and informative and rolled with some rude guests in a professional manner. We learned a lot and really enjoyed our time. 100% recommend this tour, it’s the perfect length of time to not get boring or tired, not to mention an exceptional value at $15 each.Services:City tours,Group tours
J Clifton Meek: Walk, don't ride the bus. Even though the weather was in the 30s and breezy, walking the Trail gives one the opportunity to experience Boston and to get visceral feeling for the place. It also lets you enjoy the architecture and make sudden stops for tasty treats! The history in Boston is omnipresent, which is lovely; the Trail lets you get the high points in focus and provides a context for just walking around and soaking it in.
Eli Parker: Historical
Dominic Tamburello: Boston pride

City View Trolley Tours: what do users think?
Shea Haney: Tour guides are friendly and knowledgeable! We used Go City Boston for tickets and were pleased to learn there was a trolly stop near many of the attractions we were planning to visit. An excellent way to see the city and what it has to offer.
Donna Metzger: We had a great time! Our driver Joey was great! Gave us great suggestions for restaurants and things to do during our visit. He was very informative during the tour and made it very fun!
Chuck Barackman: Great time
Jack H: They're fun, affordable, comfortable, enlightening, entertaining, and informative.
Victoria Canzaniello: The first driver seemed drunk or on something; which he mentioned his Boston accent for being the reason for us not understanding his tour information and understanding him. As soon as we got on the bus we wanted to get off. He was talked about unnecessary information and was more about celebrities being in the area than the actual historical context of his job. This made a quick exit for me and my family to find an amazing piece of history but as a family of history buffs and to be let loose in such an historical place to be swindled by a tour guide is very upsetting and when first approached by the sweet old man claiming to give us a discount but he never did. We are from New York and a discount means a discount. We should have known that we would have been ripped off. They give false information about the history of the world/state
liana Baez: The tour guide was great. She was born and raise in Boston and was able to provide a lot of interesting info bits. Their trollies are comfortable and have heaters specially helpful on those blistering cold days.
Michelle Nichols: Joey was the best trolley tour guide.He gave us history and fun facts while keeping us laughing. It was a fun experience that my family enjoyed.He even happened to have a souvenir football for us Phillies fans!
M Yeager: Best way to get a quick tour of Boston. The driver's are funny and knowledgeable!
Nathan Barney: At your own pace! Gives ya a break between sightseeing. Turned out to be well worth it! And Joey is a blast!
Christine Lipscomb: We really enjoyed both of our drivers and their commentary. So worth it
Gustavo Rodrigues: Congrats!!!
Hiago Yuri: very good tour, the driver Jhony Boston an excellent professional, very attentive and fun made the tour even better, I highly recommend
Kesia Ferreira: My husband's family was in Boston and we decided to take them on a tour of the city. Johnny Boston was our driver twice and he is amazing and very funny. Everyone loved the experience. Thanks guys 😍
Sara Kemmer: Joey was hilarious!!! Full of funny stories and great knowledge about the city
Sandra Bennett: I don't like leaving bad reviews but I think I need to warn anyone using City View Trolly Tours. We purchased our tickets at the kiosk at stop #1. I don't remember the man's name. He swiped my card twice saying he hit the wrong number. He did give us a receipt that had declined on it but both were charged on my credit card. Be careful and check your account if this happens to you.
Kelly Vis: The trolley was fantastic. Tons of historical knowledge and super fun people!
Robert McCoy: Asked for directions from City View Tours booth in Boston and the employee saw we had another companies map and told us “ no Fu€¥ing help because you have another tour company map”.What a way to impress tourist to remember your companies name.We weren’t the only one treated like this by this same employee. This guy needs a class on how to deal with the public.
Colleen Kelly: I loved our first guide. He had a great sense of humor and told history with flare. We had to wait over 30 minutes for the trolley twice out of the only 3 stops we actually got on. One guide was monotone and boring.
Anthony Caruso: Boring

Boston Tours by Old Town Trolley: what do users think?
Mary Carolan Kenny: Great service
Jim Lemaster: Good way to get around
Stuart Murray: Would defo recommended the trolley tour. Great way to see whole of downtown. Guide was very knowledgeable. Also got 50% off the harbour cruise with the trolley ticket.
Shari Mangels: Miss Jackson was wonderful! We learned a lot in a fun way. She's also an amazing driver!
Miranda Quezada: JD was very informative. He knows his facts and keeps it interesting with some humor thrown in. Trolley wasn't packed at any point. With it being more of an off-season time some of the stops weren't open or closing early. Arrive early to get the most of the hop-on hop-off.
Alex Cantona: Lovely
Paul Monnette: Had a 5 star experience several months ago. Today not so much. Waited 20 minutes in the freezing cold for a trolley only to find it full. We were told 20 minutes for the next one which is also late & then harassed by what I assume is a homeless person with a foul mouth.
Eliseo Robles: Avoid if it’s rainy - can’t see anything with their DIY cheap windows
Molly Theobald: Very happy with the Trolly tour of Boston. They always had multiple buses ready to start the tour. The drivers are very friendly and were so knowledgeable. We loved they had a storage area for our stroller so we didn’t need to keep bringing it on and off
Stewart Ramsey: Only had 1/2 a day to learn about Boston! Pretty epic. Great drivers with some great jokes.
J. Money: The tours are like a fun history lesson lol
B Hoef: This should have been a five-star rating, based on the ride itself. However, we had to wait over 2 hours in line, for the company to bring enough buses to handle the crowd from the cruise ship that we were on. Did they not know we were coming?We have been on numerous Old Town trolley tours in other towns, including savannah, key west, and many times in St Augustine. They typically do a fantastic job.I would not recommend that you base your decision on our negative experience in one port, unless you're arriving on a cruise ship. 😎
Jyoti Daniel: They are a great way to see the city of Boston. Only downside was they are not as frequent as they promise.
Scott Rakestraw: We booked two days and abandoned the experience after a few hours. The wait for stop 1 indicated they oversold the trolley, which meant you waited in line and did not want to get off at stops for fear you would not get a seat when you got back on.Our drive narration did not resonate with us. When no one is laughing at your jokes, it is most likely your jokes, not the crowd.What was disappointing was the driver encouraging the trolley riders to give drivers the bird if they were impatient with the trolley.
z Gardner: What they dont tell you is that if theres no room on the trolly, tuff luck. They come by every 15 mins but will leave you stranded if they are full.
Clare McGuinness: Lots of information and the drivers were really friendly.
Grayson Jaynes: Fun and easy
Andrea: Es war wirklich eine tolle Tour, alle Fahrer waren sehr gut ohne übertrieben witzig zu sein.
Bucky Garcia: Un viaje que resume Boston
Richard Shine: Stay off if you're smart!
Melanie Schelling: Tour guides were informative and engaging. However the tour company oversold the bus tickets to cruise ship excursions. We were not able to hop off at all as every stop had several people waiting and the buses were already full. At one stop, the line of people waiting said we were already the 4th bus that stopped that was full.
