Joan was freakin’ amazing. Best tour of my life!!! She was beyond knowledgeable, had visuals on an iPad, and made us feel safe and secure!!!
Easy to book; great communication before and after. Comfortable pivoting to help us see all that we wanted. Great way to see the city, especially during peak tourist season or when air quality is low…both of which were the case during our visit.
Very kind, professional and knowledgeable guide. Accomplished a lot in 3 hours. Would recommend experience. Did not break a sweat in the middle of the summer
My wife, adult daughter and I went on this wonderful tour with Martin. Martin was funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about Boston. Highly recommended!
We were only in Boston for 1 1/2 days and wanted to make the most out of our time. At the recommendation of a friend we took the 3 hour car tour with Joan, and we couldn’t have been more pleased! Fantastic way to see all of Boston with historical highlights and more current affairs. Joan was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and personable! This tour was the best use of our time and money!
Peter, our Tour Guide in Boston, was wonderful. Exceptionally knowledgeable, personable, and humorous, Peter was also flexible and accommodating to our interests, and he provided some great recommendations on where to go and what to see when we return to Boston at the back end of our cruise. We love the way he designed his Boston City Tour!
3 hour private tour in a comfortable mini van. Picked us up from lunch and gave us an excellent tour in and around Boston. Finished with making a reservation for us at his friends restaurant.
The perfect small family option for a cold April day. Learned so much and the most highly recommended tour to ease back and enjoy Boston.
Joan was the best! We had a great time cruising around Boston, and learned a ton. It was a wonderful combination of historical facts and fun. Doing a private tour let us ask all kinds of questions and have the tour fully customized. Joan was flexible with where she dropped us off at the end too. My 12 year old son said it was his favorite part of our trip to Boston! Highly recommend!
