    It was amazing! We were about to hop off and hop back on where we stopped to be able to get the full experience. We did the green route and learned so much history about Boston. The tour guides we had were very informative and hilarious. Definitely took the stress for us that haven't been to the New England area and looking to get to different places. Worth it 💯

    This is a great way to explore Boston and get a historical narrative. However, I think the trolleys get too many people and then when you're trying to actually hop-on and hop-off, it turns into a waiting game, which in turn you don't want to get off the trolley anymore because you're not sure when you might get back on. Otherwise, it is a great way to get to some of the farther places that may take too long to walk to.

    Loved every minute of hopping on and off ALL DAY. Not sure why anyone is complaining about any wait times as ws might have waited once or twice for ten minutes. I give it five stars for driver drivers and excellent narrated info while on board. What a fun day and would highly recommend.
