Very nice city tour. The guide is excellent. Knows the stories of Boston well. There were 6 of us in a Lincoln-type vehicle. 4 of them were over 6 feet tall. So not very comfortable for them. The vehicle is not suitable for a tour with 6 people plus the guide. The 2 people sitting in the back see nothing and cannot hear the guide who is the driver in this case. We suggest a microphone and a minivan-style vehicle that is all glass.
Stewart was very knowledgeable about historical facts. He had many fun antidotes about the city too.
Comprehensive tour and knowledgeable guide. The day went by fast. We made multiple stops and covered vast amounts of Boston in one day. Great option for travelers with kids. Stewie was very kind and accommodating.
Had an awesome and informative Boston tour today with Stewie. Knowledgeable and fun 😁. Only had a day to get it all in, so this worked out perfect!
Very relaxing and fun small group tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Boston’s history and current status. We saw loads of sites!
Excellent experience! We did a freedom-trail-like tour day before and wanted to see other parts of Boston. Wow. So glad we found this tour and met Stu! He is friendly, clever and offers a sweet ride in comfy Lincoln with drinks and charm. He asked about our prior day’s tour and minimized duplication and catered to our requests. He offered options and even had photos of events we never heard of. Stu also took us places we’d never think of. He’s a master driver and safe. Felt very spoiled and grateful for a fab and full day!
Great tour! Stu is an expert! Very professional clear fun experience. Would highly recommend. Great driving see and then walk when you want. Included those Harvard secrets. American revolution war details were unexpected.
Stu was a great guide. Very knowledgeable of the city and catered to what we were interested in.
