This was a big disappointment and a very annoying situation. The tour and company are not operating but they did not advise and still took the money. I arrived at the meeting point to be told by another tour operator. I spent more money on another ticket with an existing company. This is not good and Viator needs to be aware of this!

Hi Carol, We apologize for any confusion regarding our operating dates. Both Viator and our website do not allow ticket sales during the winter months when we are closed for the off-season. Please submit a refund request, and we will ensure that it is processed promptly as soon as they receive it. Best regards, Mike T

Take this tour down! It is over for the season (we were informed when we got there that the last one was 11/30/2024), and I lost the money, when we got there there was no trolley ride after we had bought 4 tickets! So dissatisfied and disappointed with this. Waiting on my refund now. Hope no one else gets fooled like this.

Hi Arthur, We apologize for the confusion. We did inform Viator of the end date, and we will contact them immediately to have it deactivated. Our intentions were never to mislead anyone, and there was a breakdown in communication. Rest assured, a full refund will be processed today. Sincerely, Mike T

I recently took this tour and enjoyed the driver’s humor and harmonica playing, which added a fun touch. However, the tour was advertised as 80 minutes but only lasted 60. Additionally, the narrator repeated the same information multiple times, which made the experience feel a bit redundant. While it was enjoyable overall, more variety and the promised duration would have made it much better.

Dear Valued Customer, We apologize that the tour was shorter than advertised. This was likely due to the unusually light traffic during the Thanksgiving holiday. Please feel free to email me directly during your next visit to Boston, and I’d be happy to provide complimentary tickets for you to enjoy a better experience with us. Sincerely, Mike T
