riviera1 Posted July 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted July 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGNYcamper Posted July 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2017 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.

riviera1 Posted July 25, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 25, 2017 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.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 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.

Rare Solent Richard Posted July 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2017 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... https://solentrichardscruiseblog.com/2016/08/25/one-way-to-do-salem/ It was an excellent day out and good value for money.
