5.00The Summer Nights was fantastic. Bailey was our guide and driver. He shared a lot of history throughout the different areas that we traveled through. He was very friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor. The crews on the charles river was amazing. The guides on our ride explained several of the buildings and the architecture around them. The sunset views were beautiful! Overall , I would highly recommend this experience to others.

5.00When we first arrived in Boston, I was a little overwhelmed by all the tour options and was worried we'd have to do several different ones to get everything in. I have been on Old Town Trolley tour in other cities (DC and St. Augustine) and knew they would take care of us. Brian and Jeff helped point us in all the right directions. Ali even helped guild us with suggestions in Salem for the next day. We did the Summer Night Tour and boat ride our first night in Boston and it was beautiful, highly recommend. All of our drivers were great but have to give special shout-out to Crafty and Quack. Old Town Trolley definitely made our vacation and saved our feet/legs several miles of walking. Loved the entertainment, stories, facts about the city and suggestions. If you don't know where to start I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much Brian, Jeff, Ali, Crafty, and Quack for making our trip. Wish I could give 10 stars.
Fun trip and our guide on...

5.00Well organized and ran smoothly. Red was our trolley driver and he was fun of energy and did a great job driving and sharing information. The trolley was well maintained and there was lots of fun music to listen to as you waited to depart and throughout the presentation with special cues. The boat was just as lovely and our bartender/guide during this part was very good! A great tour and I’d be interested in doing other tours they offer.
