Had a great driver in Hugo! Je had a greatt sense of humor. Told us stories about Boston and some very funny side stories!
This was a great tour. Showed us the whole city and our tour driver Joe was great. He talked with us and told stories the whole time which made it way more memorable than if it was an audio.
Joey was a great guide. very professional and he knows his history. Also gave us a great place for dinner.
The narration is pre-recorded and seemed out is sync with our surroundings. It was mostly a waste of time.

A good orientation to historic Boston
It was boring. The recording that gave history was bad. You didn't know what area it was talking about. The driver had an accent that was hard to understand.i left early. Disappointed.

Tour was very informative and fun. Hugo, our driver/guide, was funny and knowledgeable. This gave us the opportunity to make note of where we wanted to go back to explore.
As others wrote, 98% was a prerecorded snippet pointing out very basic landmarks. Quite the disappointment.

I would definitely recommend this trolly tour through the city. Our tour guide Bella Bearr was very knowledgeable of all the historical sites and kept us engaged and entertained at the same time.
The description of the tour does not match the tour that we were given. It was suppose to be 80 minute tour with no stops that followed the history trail. Instead we had a car median give her version of the historic trail.
Hi MaryAnn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I would appreciate the opportunity to better understand your experience. Please feel free to email me directly at cityviewmike@gmail.com so we can discuss your visit in more detail. Sincerely, Mike T
