Booked through Viator, had tickets (offline) through Viator app - when the trolley came to the stop, the operator denied us because he said he didn't recognize the tickets. Didn't bother to help or look into it further. Took time out of our day to get it sorted out and we missed half the day of touring because of it. In the end, we had the RIGHT tickets, for the corresponding service so we spent money on something we only got to use for less than half the day!!! Shouldn't the operator's be more helpful to sort things out? Waste of our money considering we didn't get fully what we paid for.

I caught the trolley at the cruise terminal. Long line and few seats on the first 2 trolleys that arrived-6 and then 10 seats available. Close to 75 people in line. I think empty trolley's should have been sent considering there were two cruise ships in port. Our first driver, who was also our 3rd driver, was excellent with the history and stories about the area. Minimum 30 min wait between stops. Again, only a few could get on at each stop-8-10 people with more waiting in line. Definitely not enough buses running for the amount of tourists in town. Was disappointed the trolley did not go to Harvard and MIT like ones in the past have done.
