A fun way to see the best of Boston and all of its highlights! Enjoy a looped route of the city where you can hop off at any or all of the stops and then hop back on.
If you are in Boston just for the day or if you are spending some time before or after your cruise, this is a great way to see the best of the city! Guests can hop on the trolley at one of several locations. Once onboard, get settled in and get ready to see the sights. You can choose just to stay on the trolley for the full looped route or hop off at any or all of the stops.
Explore the attractions that interest you then just hop back on the next trolley around. They run every 15-30 minutes depending on the season. Plan with the convenient route map below so you can decide where you want to go and see (you will be given another map when you get on board). The full route takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. This is different than the excursion sold on the cruise ship - that one is only 1.5 hours and you cannot make any stops. Maximize your fun and customize your day! Less money, more flexibility!
The onboard trolley conductor will give guests commentary not only about the Boston area but also about the sights along the way. Learn about the history behind the events that happened here and see the nation's oldest continuously manned lighthouse.
You will also get free discount coupons to sites and attractions - $50.00 USD value.
Note that reservations cannot be made sooner than 6 months before your excursion date.
