“the hop on hop off city trolley included with this pass had a 40 minute waiting line and you can only start at the very beginning. You can’t do the whole tour and then go around again to the places where you want to start. Seats terribly uncomfortable with knees hitting the wood bench in front of you. Driver talked too much. Can’t hop on and off all day and that should be clearer. You have to be very organized to pre-order tickets to other venues. I think you’re better off using other hop on hop off‘s and deciding what places you want to visit.”

“The Boston Museum of Fine Arts is a top level museum for lovers of art and history. It is more than a full day’s experience, and I’d recommend taking it in over several visits. The Egyptian/near east sectio. Is enough for an entire visit. My brain can only take in so much in an afternoon. If I lived closer, I’d get a membership and return time and again. Everything from early history through an extensive contemporary art section was impressive. More than an art Museum, an archaeology trove, and a visual history of civilization through the eyes of the world’s talented creative artisans.”
