Top Boston Private Sightseeing Tours

Park at Harbor Garage for this experience, it starts around the N.E. Aquarium. The walk is like a sidewalk thing around the buildings, right against the water and the buildings so it is right against, it curves with the landscape. VERY nice experience. When you get to one of the spots with the app, it automatically tells you about the area which you arrived. Super interesting and a great job/informative.

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!

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!

We absolutely loved our tour of Lexington and Concord with Martin, the best tour guide in New England! He picked us up from our hotel right on time in a clean, new minivan. He gave us a brief photo review of the land-filling that created the Back Bay (as our hotel was there). He then gave us a drive-through bonus tour of a bit of MIT and Harvard on the way to Lexington. We were able to briefly walk the long corridor of MIT and see the unbelievable freshman dining hall at Harvard. Both on the road and when out of the van in Lexington and Corcord, Martin demonstrated a captivating style of history telling that really intrigued the listener. He is clearly passionate about the details of the events of April 19, 1775. I was easily able to visualize the incredible drama that unfolded in these towns on that day. Because of this, standing on Lexington green was very moving for me. Near the end of our tour, he gave us a bonus drive-by of Bunker Hill and provided us with some additional history. He then walked us in to the Warren Tavern, so to insure that we found a great seat. This was my fifth or sixth trip to Boston, and can say without hesitation that this or any of Martin’s company’s tours will stand above the rest (we also took the full-day private tour of Salem and the coast with Martin)!

Such a great way to explore Boston solo! I didn’t want to do a formal group tour and was so impressed with this entire audio experience. I had never done anything like it before and it was so easy to download and use and I loved how the audio would automatically start when I got to the next location.

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.

It was a private tour and Marybeth was excellent and met on all our requests above and beyond. We went passed Harvard university and MIT…heard many stories about the campus and the Great Dom Hack about Harvard’s plank. We drove by Italian town and Chinatown. Ate at the famous Cheers and was delicious. We had a non walking tour as requested…mainly drove around town.

This was AMAZING!! We got the history while also being able to interact with our fellow tourists. Highly recommend Democracy Brewery after as we spent 5 hours with our tour guide there after our tour drinking some local beers and talking. Tim is the best guide!!
