Hop On, Hop Off - Upper Deck Trolley
This tour gives you the opportunity to customize your visit to Boston to suit your needs and interests. You’ll begin with a 90-minute overview tour ending at Boston’s famous Quincy Market. From here you can spend time exploring on foot, transfer to a hop-on hop-off trolley, or return to the pier. Take in the highlights of Boston on this unique tour of city’s most important and historic sites via an upper deck trolley. The trolley features elevated seating for better viewing, as you pass all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts. Pass through the heart of Boston and along a portion of the freedom trail to catch a glimpse of the well-known gold domed Old State House, the site of the Boston massacre, the King's Chapel, Granary Burying Ground, the Park Street Church, the expansive green of Boston Common, the historic North End, fashionable Newbury Street, Beacon Hill, Quincy Market, and the Prudential Tower. You’ll also catch a glimpse of the Charles River, USS Constitution or 'Old Ironsides' – the historic ship, launched in Boston in 1797 – and in the distance the Old North Church where two lanterns signaled the warning that the redcoats were on the march. At the conclusion of the scenic drive you have three options: You can stay on the trolley and return to the pier; you can stay at Quincy market to explore at your leisure; or you can board the Hop-on Hop-off Loop bus (ticket provided), giving you the most flexibility to experience Boston on you own schedule. If you choose to either stay at Quincy Market or take the Hop-on Hop-off Loop bus, you can return to the pier on the complimentary trolley which will depart from Quincy Market beginning at 2:00 pm through 5:00 pm.
