Grandmaanne7 Posted June 7 #1 Share Posted June 7 We disembark in Boston and are looking to do a bit of sightseeing on the way to the airport. Has anyone ever used Malden Car Services or Haz Luxury Limo? Personal recommendations appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted June 8 #2 Share Posted June 8 Boston Coach is the only one I've ever used. Never heard of the other two and I lived in Boston for 50 years. Malden Car Service sounds like something you'd use coming from or going to the suburb of Malden, north of the city. What kind of siteseeing are you looking to do? I bet a cab would take some detours for you, with the meter running of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking at Rowe's Wharf Water Taxi as they will store our luggage for the day. Some are wanting to do museums, some are looking at a walking tour and others just want to eat lol! Lots of varied interests in our family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted June 9 #4 Share Posted June 9 What time is your flight? It's a straight shot from the cruise port to the airport, so you'd have to plan what you'd want to do as anything would not be "on the way". If your family has varied interests, maybe each go out on their own and meet back at a certain time? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaanne7 Posted June 9 Author #5 Share Posted June 9 Flights are 3:30 and 4:00 so we really don't have a lot of time but definitely too long to sit in an airport when we can be exploring a new city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted June 12 #6 Share Posted June 12 Slightly off topic. Where is the Budget Car rental location near the port? We want to do our own sightseeing. We disembark on Aug 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of varied interests in our family. Boston is one of the most walkable cities in the US-- a car or car service is actually a hindrance than a help, especially for touring. A lot of streets in the downtown core are narrow and winding and you can easily walk across the city from Back Bay to the waterfront in 30 minutes. What I would recommend is finding a hotel like the Boston Harbor Hotel, Intercontinental etc near Rowes Wharf to store your bags for the day (most will do so if you are having a light bite, drink, etc for a tip) and then go exploring from there. When you come back just divide yourselves into a couple of Ubers to the airport. You don't have a ton of time so you'll need to pick a specific part of town to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we are planning a drive home rather than flying. It seems the Budget location is less than a mile away from the port on a google map search.
