Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I suppose the price we pay is for the narration by the drivers. I was on two different buses so I experienced two different drivers. Both were friendly and very knowledgeable about Boston’s landmarks and history!
    I wish the signage was better for each of the stops. Fortunately, getting a representative on the phone for further guidance is fairly painless. If you’re hopping on and off at the same stop, it’s fairly simple. However, I found that hopping off and on at different stops could be difficult and frustrating.

    Great way to get around and view Boston! Both Trolley drivers (Jesse and Hugo) were great, kind and funny.
    The trip took us about 3.5 hours (including getting off and walking around). Didn’t wait long at the stops for a trolley to pick us up either. Enjoyed the experience.

    Very nice tour. Great crew, learned a lot. Only downside was that I am hard of hearing and couldn’t get close enough to the guide to hear him. It would have been nice to have some sort of hearing accommodation or for the listing to say something about it being more of a quiet tour. My daughter had to repeat everything that was said. Overall though, I would do it again (I would fight my way to the front of the others this time so I can see/hear at the same time)

    I took this tour as a solo traveller and can highly recommend it. It is a small group tour and I made friends with other people on the tour who were great company. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was great with a wonderful sense of humour. She immediately established a good rapport with all the passengers. She was very informative and went the extra mile to make sure everyone was well looked after. She made you feel you were in safe hands.
    The trip itself was wonderful. Lots of places of interest to visit including the very picturesque wooden houses of Oak Bluffs. I had stopped off in Boston for a long weekend en route to the UK after a short trip to Canada so was short on time. This day tour, with the ferry out to Martha's Vineyard was perfect. What a great memory!
    Thank you.

    Less than a 5 minute walk from our Pierce Boston apartment. Such an interesting 1 hour tour about Red Sox baseball history, even if you know nothing about American baseball. Our guide was so knowledgeable and although the stadium does involve quite a lot of stairs it's well worth it to see how this stadium has evolved and become what it is today.

    Great way to see the coastline from Boston to Salem. Beautiful. The captain even narrated. The air was crisp and the ride was mostly smooth.

    Michelle was terrific! Being a local, she lived through some of the Boston history. Loved that perspective. Of course, food was amazing and gave a great flavor of the city. 5 stars!

    Despite a very cold day, Nigel was still really enthusiastic and engaging sharing about the buildings, Harvard traditions and his own experiences. My daughter and I had a great time!

    Such a fun experience that brought history to life! Went with a mixed age group, and everyone enjoyed it. The cast never broke character and did a great job of guiding our group. There were interesting facts, laughs, and lots of interactivity.

    We had an amazing time on this boat ride - we went in winter and were expecting it to be super chilly but it was nice to have an indoor area to relax in the warmth! The experience was beautiful.
