The ease to access the trolley was great. Great way to see the city before venturing out on own. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

I thought the driver was a bit over the top with his Boston sarcasm. We brought friends from the mid-west to Boston to see a bit of the city and they were a bit surprised.

Hi Juan, we're sorry that we did not meet your expectations...please email me directly [email protected] as I would like to learn the details of the driver's sarcasm so our team could assess where we can make adjustments or corrections to the commentary. Sincerely, Mike T

The ability to get on and off at each stop was amazing and you could walk and go see all the great stops! The trolley drivers were not all equal in how good they were at speaking the information or making it fun. The short haired blond lady is terrible. She has a tape that she only plays sometimes. There is an older man that is slender and he is great!!
