Interested in opinions of this trolley trip or one of others someone has taken. Been to Boston before..just wanted something easy to do as a solo with limited walking involved.. I have been looking at the same thing. First, the Aquarium is quite a walk (over a mile) from the pier as I understand. Old Towne Trolley has a stop right by the pier with a shuttle to the main route - which I feel is a much better option. A relative of mine just used Old Towne trolley and was very happy with it.

hallasm Posted August 12, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I did the Boston Old Trolley - turned left at the pier and walked the 0.2 miles to Old Trolley bus stop 18a where we we purchased tickets at the kiosk. Orange line serving the cruise ships is only going to stop 1. - I have included map in my video - the first part is at 0:15 - enjoy your trolley tour. 3o3_CXjG6Dg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newt52 Posted August 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I was hoping to use Old Town Trolley for our stop on October 22. But when I went to purchase tickets online it showed they were sold out that day. I had a chat with o trolley representative and he said they are sold out several days. I said I'd get them thru Viator and he said, good luck, if you can't get on you have to deal with them we can't help you. So we are buying our ticket thru Princess. Cost more but at least we'll have tickets Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolley tours purchased through Princess might be just a Trolley tour without the hop on hop off option. Read the fine print description to understand exactly what you're buying.

newt52 Posted August 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We bought a Hop on hop off, plan on doing the complete circuit then hop off at a couple places. Again this wasn't my original plan and I didn't realize Old Town Trolley would sell out 2 months in advance. I will check back time to time in case it's a glitch and tickets become available.

greatestvalue Posted August 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I called City Trolley Hop On Hop Off and asked if we could do the entire loop once, then stay on and go around to where we wanted to get off. Then get back on when we were done. They said no. You are only allowed to go the loop once. So I am still looking for a vendor for a true Hop On Hop Off like we had in Seattle. This one allowed us to stay on, get off and back on all day. Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested in opinions of this trolley trip or one of others someone has taken. Been to Boston before..just wanted something easy to do as a solo with limited walking involved.. Here's mapquest directions. It is 2 miles from Port to New England Aquarium. NE Aquarium is on the SAME wharf as the Marriott. FYI. Taken from Marriott's website: You'll find our 4-star hotel on the waterfront in Boston Harbor; the New England Aquarium is next door, and iconic attractions including Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Freedom Trail are a short walk away. https://www.mapquest.com/directions/from/us/ma/boston/02210/%5B1-99%5D-black-falcon-ave-42.343919,-71.031762/to/us/massachusetts/boston/02110-3309/1-central-wharf-42.359171,-71.049536 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chatting with Boston Trolley Tours today. Their prices look good and what's included looked good and the hop on hop off route looked good. Below is a code for 10% off .... I think it expires end of August but it's for any ticket you buy now ... Sept. or Oct., etc. You can call them and get more info.

newt52 Posted September 3, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Another question about hop on hop off trolley, I understand they close at 5. If we get on at stop 2 at 4:45, do they complete the circuit, or does everyone get off at the next stop at 5. Or do they stop the circuit and return to stop 1 at 5:00? Our ship is in port from 11-8.

CruiseGal999 Posted September 3, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just an FYI....the coupon is for $1.00 off not 10%. Did a mock purchase! Was just stating what I was told when I phoned. Of course, today is no longer August, and the 10% expired in August. So ... there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
