Peter was on time for our pick up at 10am. We discussed what we wanted to see and then were off. He navigated the city to include road construction expertly. Peter was knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate about the city of Boston. All three of us loved the tour and would absolutely recommend Peter again for any of the tours he provides.
Very informative, easy going, I highly recommend this tour. Peter made us feel comfortable, knows all the history of Boston. I would give this tour 10 stars!
Peter is a charming, knowledgeable, humorous guide. He made our sightseeing tour of Boston wonderful. He took time for my husband to take pictures.
Peter is lovely knowledgeable and relaxed guy Was great summary of all the highlights of Boston. Just what we wanted without all the walking in the heat and crowds
Peter was great to work with and very accommodating. He was willing to tailor the tour to our interests. Very knowledgeable about the Boston history, and very skilled at talking and driving through the crazy traffic at the same time.
Peter was punctual & full of historic information + he was funny. We had a wonderful time with him. He filled us in on all the points of interest, giving us from the time the British and other countries came here all the way through about the 1950s. If we needed to make a stop, he was willing to do that. And all the anecdotal information that you can’t find in a book was such fun to hear.
I booked the 3-hour private driving tour in Boston, and from start to finish it was unforgettable — all thanks to our guide, Peter. From the moment we were picked up at the cruise port, it was clear we were in good hands. The van was spotless, comfortable, and climate-controlled. Peter’s punctuality and friendliness instantly put us at ease. As we rolled through Boston’s neighborhoods — Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End — Peter seamlessly wove together stories, historical context, and fun anecdotes. He navigated tight streets like a pro, making sure we caught striking views (and photo stops) without compromising the itinerary. His knowledge is seemingly bottomless: he referenced dates, personalities, lesser-known tales, and surprised us with this fun facts. We passed by so many iconic sites: the Paul Revere House, Old North Church, the USS Constitution, Bunker Hill, Faneuil Hall, Copley Square, Fenway Park, Harvard, MIT, and more. None of that felt like mere “drive-by” narration — Peter made each landmark come alive through storytelling. He has a warm, inviting personality — we felt like we were touring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a guide “on duty.” His passion for Boston is infectious! By the end we walked away feeling like insiders, not just tourists. In short: Peter exceeded every expectation. If you visit Boston (even for just a few hours), book this tour. You’ll see the city, yes—but more importantly, you’ll feel the city, through stories, context, and heart. We will remember this tour for years to come — thank you, Peter!
Peter was an excellent source of information. You can really tell he loves what he is doing. He answered all questions in depth and with lots of facts to back it up. He is very patient and a funny guy! 8 stars out of 5. Do not hesitate to book his service.
Very Comprehensive tour of Boston . Peter was an excellent tour guide. I was impressed with his knowledge of the city and area.
It was an unbelievable experience. He had all the information and dates for the past 300 years about Boston. We had a History major with us and she was so impressed with how much he knew…
