Boston Hop On -- Hop Off Tours

Howdy,

We were considering doing the Hop On - Hop Off Boston City Tour during our stop in Boston. I noticed that there are two different HO/HO companies in Boston, Old Town Trolley Tours and Cityview Trolley Tours. Based upon my reading of their stops, I think the Old Town has a stop near the cruise ship port, but I am sometimes locationally challenged and may not understand where the cruise ship docks.

So does anyone have a recommendation on which HO/HO tour to use during our stay in Boston? FYI, there is a groupon for $41 for two on the Cityview Trolley Tour.

Thanks for your assistance!

I believe that on days when cruise ships are in port, Old Town Trolleys runs a shuttle from the port to the first stop on their line. Its best to contact them by email or phone directly to find out all the details. Your Groupon is a very good price.

due to convenience of having it stop by cruise port--- We will first take a 4 hour tour- 12-4 for overview of city- Then as soon as we are done with that shore excursion, we thought it would be easier to use for 3 hours Old Town Trolley to use just for the few spots that we want to spend more time in.

Having been on both trolley tours, I highly recommend Old Town. Cityview was nice, but the drivers on Old Town make the trip much more enjoyable!

I've done old Town Trolley tours several times in Boston. I've even had a driver stop for us when we were in the wrong location.
