Boston's beloved orange-and-green trolleys loop all 18 major landmarks — from Beacon Hill to the North End — with narrated commentary and unlimited re-boarding. The smartest, most flexible way to cover the whole city in a single day.
What to expect
Board at any of 18 stops — including Faneuil Hall, the New England Aquarium, Beacon Hill, and Harvard Square — and ride the full loop for an immersive orientation or hop off to explore at your own pace. Conductors deliver jokes, facts, and insider lore that bring the city's 400-year arc to life. The Charles River Cruise add-on extends the experience onto the water, framing the Back Bay skyline from the river. Trolleys run every 15–20 minutes, so there's no rigid schedule to keep.
Good to know
Tickets are best purchased online in advance for a discount and to avoid queues at peak stops. First boarding can be at the New England Aquarium stop, close to the cruise terminal area. Plan your last trolley stop to allow comfortable travel back to the ship before all-aboard.
