All the drivers were informative as well as entertaining. Especially Hugo, who was a hoot. It was very easy to hop on & off at the various locations. And "find my trolley" was perfect to know when to head back.

feels a bit phoned in compared to other available tours; the ride was nice, the tracker is helpful, but the actual tour is lackluster

Informational/Convenient

This is a convenient way to see most of the sites without needing to rent a car. You just hop on the bus and get off at the stop you choose. Very convenient if you did not rent a car. Tour guides were excellent and funny.

You are on a tour of the history of Boston. and sports trivia . I asked about newer buildings and got a political talk about who runs the country. No suggestions for restaurants ,bars No explanation how hop on hop off works. I spent $67 ticket and people got on and driver said I don't care if you have a ticket. No explanation about Newbury St. Extremely disappointed.

Operator response

Hi Debora, Unfortunately, based on the description of the tour and the ticket price you mentioned, it appears that your experience was with one of our competitors rather than with CityView. We would greatly appreciate it if you would kindly remove the review from our listing and, if possible, post it to the tour company you actually experienced. This will help ensure that your feedback reaches the appropriate company and that our guests are not inadvertently misled. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. All the best, Mike T

A great way to see many of Boston’s major sites in a convenient and relaxing way, especially if you want to limit the amount of walking. The trolleys run frequently, making it easy to hop off and explore and then continue your tour when you’re ready. The narration provides helpful information and history along the way, making this a great option for first-time visitors or anyone looking for an easy way to see the city.

When visiting Boston the sites are further apart than you think. The hop on and hop off helped close the gaps.

City View Trolley was well worth our time

Love that i can scan QR code to see where the trolleys are located. The vehicle is comfortable and frequency of pickup was great, didn’t wait long at all for next trolley. Hugo was very a very entertaining guide and Jack from Dorcester was excellent as well with all of his facts and trivia. Thanks to both these great guides

Boston Trolley Tour

Great way to see lots of Boston historical sites. The fact that you could also get off and back on the trolley worked great also for sites you wanted to spend more time at,

Tour of Boston

The tour attendant was excellent at the #1 kiosk. He was very helpful in checking me in even when my tour ticket was hard to come by. The driver was funny and was the highlight of the trip. Lots of interesting sights, but my physical condition didn't allow me to walk around to better enjoy any of the stops.
