Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Boston tour

  • Pack a light jacket. Boston's harbor breeze can make temperatures drop unexpectedly, even on sunny days.
  • Choose weekday tours over weekends. You'll face shorter wait times and smaller crowds at popular stops.
  • Note that historical sites typically close around 5pm. Plan your must-see indoor attractions earlier in the day.
  • Pair a hop-on hop-off bus tour with attraction tickets to View Boston Observatory or Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum with super affordable combo offers that let you maximize your sightseeing while spending less!
  • Check the Red Sox game schedule. Trolley routes near Fenway can face significant delays during game days.
  • Don’t miss visiting the View Boston observatory for the best bird’s eye view of Boston, interactive exhibits, and unbeatable panoramas of the city.
  • You’ll be hopping off and walking around, so wear comfy footwear for all the cobblestone streets.
  • Make time for a cannoli in the North End or chowder at Quincy Market. These culinary delights are part of the Boston experience!
  • Get local lunch recommendations from your guide; they know the authentic spots tourists might miss.
