Join us as we turn back the pages of history and relive the bustling seaport days of colonial Boston. Feel the drama of revolution in America! We operate the only “stadium” trolleys in the city and Boston’s largest fleet of sightseeing vehicles with the most frequent departures, so you can tour at your own pace. Plus, we offer unlimited re-boarding privileges at 18 convenient stops. Our expert tour conductors will show you all the major sights such as Beacon Hill, the CHEERS bar, Old North Church, Bunker Hill Monument and Boston Public Garden.
Guests are met on the pier and escorted to private vehicles at the cruise terminal. From there the trolleys will proceed to our main tour route. Hop off and back on at conveniently located stops designed to maximize your time here in Boston. Your “Must Do” Old Town Trolley Tour of Boston will give you an inspiring overview. Our expert conductors will show you all the major sights such as Beacon Hill, the CHEERS Bar, Old North Church, Bunker Hill Monument, Quincy Market, Faneuil Hall, and the Boston Public Garden. Every trolley on our main tour route will proceed to drop you off at the cruise ship after leaving stop #14.
We recommend purchasing Tour Option 2 from your Shore Excursion Desk.
The distance to your trolley depends on where your cruise ship is docked. There are three different berths where cruise ships dock and the walking distance from them varies.
The closest trolley stop is #16. Click here for walking directions.
Please check with your cruise line to determine where your ship will be docked during your visit. It’s also important to know that any trolleys parked directly in front of the cruise terminal are there for guests who have purchased Tour Option 2 from their Shore Excursion Desk and are not available to the general public.
To return to any of the piers, adults must have both their ship’s card (which usually doubles as the room key) and a valid photo identification (passport, driver’s license, etc.)
