Old Town Trolley Gold: Narrated Hop-On, Hop-Off Boston Tour

Boston's quintessential cruise-day companion — a fully narrated, hop-on hop-off trolley circuit of 17 landmark stops purpose-built for port visitors. Cover maximum ground in minimum time with live, comedic expert commentary.

What to expect

Climbing aboard at the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, your costumed guide launches into a lively, anecdote-packed narration as the distinctive orange-and-green trolley rolls through Downtown Boston, past Faneuil Hall Marketplace, up through Beacon Hill, and along the waterfront. Hop off at the Boston Common for a Freedom Trail stroll, the Old North Church for a quick photo, or Quincy Market for a legendary clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. The circuit runs continuously, so you control the pace and the stops. A purpose-built cruise concierge experience from the first boarding.

Good to know

Book tickets online in advance via the cruise excursions page — boarding at the cruise terminal is convenient and stress-free. A full loop takes approximately 100 minutes without stops; most guests hop off 3–4 times and complete the day in 4–5 hours. Combination packages with the Boston Tea Party Museum offer the best value for a full day ashore.
