Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a fantastic way to see Boston and booking on your own saves you money

we really are Oldtown Charlie fans no matter what city we visit if hopping on one of these buses is an option we always grab tickets

we find it to be one of the easiest ways to get an overview of a new city and to get around a city if we're traveling without our our car

if everyone in your party can do the walk from the cruise terminal to the bus stop we'd recommend going directly to Oldtown trolley and saving yourself some money

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Old Town Trolley tour directly with the company to save money compared to booking through the cruise line.
Be prepared for a walk from the cruise terminal to the bus stop if booking independently.
Use the hop-on, hop-off service to efficiently see multiple Boston landmarks in a single day.

We took the Old Town Trolley Tour on our Enchanted Princess cruise and saw 18 of Boston’s most famous locations, including the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, and the USS Constitution! 🇺🇸 But is this hop-on, hop-off experience really the best way to explore Boston? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc5EZyHbimBqHsBoYan8gtuo066iWW-e1 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc5EZyHbimBqpqnHD__X3S9L2eaWsRgEg 🚢 Cruise Essentials We Always Pack These are the items that consistently make our cruises smoother — especially when we’re flying to the port. • Apple AirTags (we put one in every suitcase): https://amzn.to/4gCmSRt • Cruise luggage tag holders: https://amzn.to/4h3ExRx • Travel document organizer / passport holder: https://amzn.to/4j3wTbH • Magnetic hooks for the cabin walls: https://amzn.to/421Zokg • Packing cubes: https://amzn.to/4hajbSS • Cruise-approved outlet converter (non-surge): https://amzn.to/3Wf8Fla • Multi-USB / USB-C charging block: https://amzn.to/4jFcR6V • Motion sickness bands + disposable sick bags (especially helpful with kids): https://amzn.to/4kZIrhE and https://amzn.to/4r4T4kQ 👉 You can find our full Cruise Essentials list here: https://www.familytravelpursuits.com/family-travel-tips/family-travel-favorites-gear-we-actually-use Like our music?
