Stewie was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. Any questions we had about the city were answered without hesitation. He was great to break away from the normal tour for any requests we had. Highly recommended 5 out of 5 stars.
Stewie is an extremely knowledgeable guide. He was on time, actually early. He was very nice and accommodating to our needs. His voice doesn’t carry well. I forgot a rain coat at our lunch stop and he was more than happy to go back to the restaurant so I could get it. There was 6 of us and it was difficult to hear him in the back of the car. We would suggest some kind of speaker to make him easier to hear.
You will receive a thorough history of Boston from 17th century to present day while touring Boston. The guide was well versed in what he shared.
Ask for this tour run by Stewy as he is fabulous He took us all over Boston!’ And anywhere we wanted to see! Even stopped at his favorite sandwich shop where we got roast beef sandwiches to go as we kept on touring!!
We had a great day with Stewie! We have been to Boston many times but wanted to show it off to our 12 year old grandson. We would recommend that most walk the Freedom Trail. But we are in our 80's and no longer have the stamina to get to some key spots on foot. Stewie has a vast knowledge of the area and filled our need in getting around... Old Ironsides, Harvard and Bunker Hill would have been hard but our grandson enjoyed running up into the monument, boarding the old ship etc because Stewie got us there. Stewie got us there. Lunch was great at Ernesto's in North area. We heard lots of great stories from Stewie and he picked us up at our hotel and was willing to take us to Fenway for our game! He really fit the bill for us and would anyone with mobility problems. Other places along the Freedom Trail might have been better if you can walk as they were more like drive bys but his services fit our needs. Thanks Stewie!
We had an incredible day exploring Boston with our private guide, Stewie. Having visited the city before and walked the Freedom Trail, we appreciated that this tour was customized to highlight places we hadn’t seen—hidden gems alongside iconic landmarks. Stewie, a true local, brought the city to life with his deep knowledge and colorful anecdotes at every stop. Our itinerary included some of Boston’s most memorable sites: Harvard’s historic campus, the charming streets of Beacon Hill, Bunker Hill Monument, Old North Church, Fenway Park, the Old State House, and the quirky All Saints Way. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch at Table Mercato, a cozy Italian deli that hit the spot. Stewie went above and beyond, even helping with our luggage at pickup and ensuring a smooth drop-off at our hotel.
Stuie was unbelievably knowledgeable about the sights he showed us but also additional information that made the trip even more memorable.
We had a wonderful time with Stewie. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating especially my father is has difficulty with walking so we were slow. He accommodated us with the places to visit and did not rush us with anything. He recommended an amazing fish and chips place for lunch. He is willing to take you to any lunch place you are craving for. Amazing tour guide. Worth it. Will definitely recommend him 😁
4 of us took the tour a day after our Viking included tour of Boston. We were picked up at the pier, a great plus! Who would have expected to see things we had not seen the day before? Stewie took us first to Harvard and MIT before exploring Boston in detail. A stop for a lobster lunch was beyond expectations. Six hours later, Stewie was just warming up, but our ship was sailing and our onboard time was getting close, so we sadly had to head back to the ship. We highly enjoyed Stewie’s tour and recommend him to everyone.
This was a great tour. If you are looking for something at your own pace without the crowd I highly recommend. This was so relaxed and informative. You can actually get real facts and not have to compete with a large groups to ask questions. If you enjoy good conversation and learning about the real history of a place you should definitely book this tour. Stewie was a great guide.
