This trolley wasn't really worth it. We probably would not have done this but we had the Go Boston Card and tickets for the 2-day trolley were included. Not recommended if you expect to hop on and off. OK for a tour around Boston but the Duck boats cover most of the route.

We bought half price tickets for the show at the discount ticket office near Fanueil Hall. Stage 2 at the Charles Playhouse will probably seat 50 people but there was less than 20 there that night. It was a fun show and we laughed a lot.

We needed a small piece of luggage for the return trip home since we expected to be over the weight limit for a single bag. This place is crazy. I'm not a big shopper but you could easily spend several hours in this place. We found a small suitcase discounted to $20 bucks.
