Outstanding overview of Boston!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-hour Boston overview with an amazing guide, Neal! The tour was a well-balanced mix of walking and riding. We saw so much in 4 hours! Neal clearly has a passion for his city, and this made for a fun, interesting, and educational experience. Even though I have been on a few tours of Boston in the past, he still introduced us to several new sites and many new facts! He recommend several great restaurants that we would have never have explored if not for him. Ask him for some “cash only” recs!

Wonderful Boston Tour with amazing guide Neil

This was the perfect tour with Neil - the best tourguide we ever encountered! We were a group of four returning from a cruise and had time for a half day tour before flying home. Neil picked us and our luggage up on time at the cruise ship terminal. The communication prior to pick up was exceptional. A four hour driving/walking tour thru Boston followed with drop off at the airport. Neil has an incredible knowledgable of EVERYTHING!! And he is funny, a great driver, the dynamic and energy of our group and him was just wonderful. From stopping at his favorite bakery for tasting freshly baked cannolis, walking thru the awesome historic section to driving thru different neighborhoods covering all the famous highlight of this amazing City - the time flew by, this tour was amazing thanks to Neil. If I could I would have given it 7*'s. Thank you Neil! Christina, Elena, Maria & Jerry

Boston tour from Boston school teacher

Neal picked us up on time and at our place. He was outstanding. We consumed the whole four hours and then some. We did the walking tour of freedom trail where we learned quite a few items and misconceptions starting with Paul Revere house. We walked all around the north end and then went in the car and visited The USS Constitution, Bunker Hill neighborhood, Fenway Park, old North Church, and all around downtown. Neal knew alot about just about everything Boston history and building information. We had my sister in law, who was a boston resident and grew up here, indicated she did not hear anything that was not factual and learned alot. Neal was engaging, very friendly, and a retired boston school teacher. I highly recommend and would take the tour again
