We decided to stay on the bus for the whole tour to get a better sense of the city and then once we’d seen it all, decide what we would want to investigate further. We went back to tour the USS Constitution and the Tea Party Museum and they were great.

We enjoyed the convenience of not trying to find a place to park at each place we wanted to go. We had adequate time to see the site and if you didn't get back in time to catch the trolley, you just caught the next one. The driver continually pointed out sites of interest, even if it wasn't a regular trolley stop. For us this is the best way to see a city.

Rode the trolley around town three full times in two days. Also did the harbor tour. And the ghosts and gravestones tour. All of our guides were very informative and interesting. Never heard the same exact tour twice. Each guide added different background flavors to the tours. Really enjoyed ourselves and felt it was money and time well spent.
