Visiting Boston on QM2

When we visit Boston in September during our cruise on QM2. We plan to take a trolleybus tour.

If we book our tour through Cunard will there be a trolleybus dedicated to Cunard or will we have to join a queue for a trolleybus. We read that you can queue for up to an hour at busy times.

If anyone has done a Cunard organised trolleybus tour in Boston your comments would be appreciated.

I have not done this tour, but I would imagine that if you book through Cunard you will get a a dedicated trolleybus or at least some kind of priority ticket.

We went later in the afternoon on July 4th last year and waited about 20 minutes. We did not do it through the ship, but at the kiosk down the street. It was cheaper doing it that way. I don't believe you will be on a dedicated trolley if you go through the ship.

Thank you for your comments, Lanky Lad and LGNY Camper.

Decided not to pre-book. Will wait until we are on-board and see what is on offer at the Excursions Desk or wait until we are ashore where tour charges will be cheaper anyway.

Do your homework here

Please allow me to correct you: or at least show what recently was the case...

Note the notice on the front of the trolley Bus...

And just another Boston tip. If you are fancying the 'Duck Tours', which I highly recommend...

...booking them in the morning is nye on impossible when there are 2 or more cruise ships in port.

While on the subject of Cunard visiting Boston, the last occasion we were there we booked the ship's excursion to Salem and I wrote a review...

It was an excellent day out and good value for money.

Hi Solent Richard

Very many thanks for your reply and photographs.

Just what I wanted to know.
