What is the difference between the beantown trolley tour and the old town trolley? Are they 2 different companies? Which one is better?
trolley tourHi Kayjenks,
Yes, they%26#39;re two different companies. They%26#39;re both really great! It%26#39;s just that the Beantown Trolley Tour is part of the following deal and it%26#39;s highly recommended by alot of the travelers and experts on this particular site and others in Boston really like it alot, if you go to this:
www.GoBostonCard.com
you%26#39;ll read all the great deals included when you get this card, it%26#39;s really wonderful. Beantown Trolley is affiliated with Brush Hill Tours and Gray Line which are highly reputable at giving great tours. They give excellent tours of the City.
Old Town Trolley Tours of Boston are the orange and green trolleys you%26#39;ll see around the City; they can be reached at 1 800 868-7482.
It%26#39;s your call, take your pick!
Have fun!
trolley tourI had the Go Boston Card and took the Bean Town Trolley tour. We took it on 2 different days with 2 differetn drivers and had bad experience with both. Waiting times for the trolley was long and we saw the Old town trolley pass by twice... should have gone with that one. The drivers had mild road rage, but I still could hear them say stuff that I find unprofessional and I ont want to hear it. One seemed like he was yelling at us the whole time and was not funny. The other read stuttered and repeated stuff over because he was reading the information WHILE driving! He also kept answering his cell phone, and his trolley wasnt in the best shape as well, as the breaks were squeaky very loudly that we had to change trolleys in the middle. He also skipped some stops announcements and yelled at the people in the back ti quiet down and claimed he has ADD.
I%26#39;ve heard good things about Old Town Trolley.....
There%26#39;s also the Duck Tours which are great if you%26#39;ve got kids...
While in Boston last November, we went on an Old Town Trolley tour and it was great! The drivers were great and we didn%26#39;t have to wait long to reboard at any stop. It was a good way to get your bearings in the city and visit some of the historical spots. I would highly recommend it!
I took a look at the online map for the OLD TOWN trolley and it gets pretty fuzzy when you zoom in on it. Do they give you a map that you can clearly see the stops on?
If you have the Go Card, Beantown is the choice.
If you are buying a ticket, Old Town is probably the best bet. Every company has good and not-so good drivers. Old Town is the most professional organization. The big difference in the tour itself is frequency. Old Town picks up much more often.. Believe they also go to Fenway.
