Peter was a great guide. The tour really gives you a lot of information about Boston and the history of Boston. Peter is a safe driver who keeps the tour engaging. On a cold winter day it was wonderful to be in a warm car.

If you are looking for the perfect way to see Boston without battling the freezing temperatures, this is it. Our group of four booked this tour on a whim, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip.
The 'warm van' promise was fully kept, but the real star of the show was our guide, Peter. I cannot speak highly enough of him. Often, a three-hour drive can feel long, but Peter kept our attention the entire time. He has an endless supply of fascinating stories and local history that you simply wouldn't get from a guide book. He managed to make the city come alive while we stayed perfectly comfortable.
If you want a tour that feels personal, engaging, and incredibly comfortable, ask for Peter. Worth every cent!

This was the PERFECT way to get an interesting, funny and warm tour of Boston Highlights. Peter was accommodating and kind and all of us (aged 4 to adult) had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Thank you, Peter!

Peter was so knowledgeable about American history and just Boston and surrounding areas. He spoke clearly and was very jovial. We throughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend this tour and tour guide!
Danielle_M, Mar 2025
Great navigator and host for the beautiful city of Boston! Impressive knowledge. Peter drove and managed traffic while never missing a beat in his narrative. Great option when family members are unable to walk around the city.

This was a very enjoyable way to get a feel for Boston’s history and all it has to offer while staying warm on a blustery March day. Peter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the ride was clean and comfortable.

Peter was great - perfect start to a weekend in Boston. Saw all the important spots and gave us a good history experience
John_K, Dec 2024
We really enjoyed meeting Peter. He gave us insider insights to Boston and was extremely knowledgeable about historical topics. Also very funny!
Beth_J, Oct 2024
Peter’s knowledge. He provided history of Boston that was very interesting. We had an overview of all the sites all around the City. He stopped to allow us to take photos when we asked. Great tour for a first time visitor to Boston. Thank you Peter for a wonderful day!

Peter B was our inestimable tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and gracious. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. Our tour ran long due to traffic but, after we assured him that we had no other pressing appointments, Peter spent the time needed on all the sites along the way. Highly recommend.
Maria_P, Nov 2023
The tour was a great way to see the town if your pressed for time. We learned so much. Tour guide was very knowledgeable sharing fun facts. Really enjoyed the experience.

Peter was on time and met us in our hotel lobby, loaded our luggage for us! Friendly and outgoing, he knew Boston very well and was a wealth of information. An excellent way to cover a lot of ground and see a great deal of Boston. We finished the tour a little early and so Peter took us to another area of Boston (instead of just dropping us off early), which proves he cares about providing a top-notch service. He even generously dropped us off at the cruise ship terminal per our request (versus back at our hotel). We would have preferred a few more opportunities to quickly get out and take pictures, but overall a great tour!
vpgenie, May 2023
Peter was so accommodating with picking us up at the cruise terminal and dropping us off at our hotel at the end. He is very knowledgeable about Boston and the history. It was so nice to have our own private tour. Peter is the best.

We went to Boston to watch the Maple Leafs take on the Bruins. Since we were only in Boston for 2 days this was a great way to see all of the interesting and historical parts of Boston in a short period of time. Peter was a fabulous guide and extremely knowledgable about the history of Boston. He made the tour both interesting and fun. He even adjusted the order of the tour for us so he could drop us off at Fenway Park when it was over as we were doing a tour of Fenway in the afternoon. Thanks Peter for showing us so much of Boston and answering all our questions. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
Beth_S, Mar 2023
Peter was a great guide!
Customized the tour for our family and interests!
On time and great communication even before the tour!
Perfect way to see all the sights and we learned so much!
Maria_T, Dec 2022
Peter, our tour guide took us everywhere and was friendly and very insightful. He took us all over Boston and gave us much history.
Karissa_O, Jun 2022
Mr. Peter provided a comprehensive and culturally diverse experience. The fun facts added excitement! He was also willing to customize the experience to the customer.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks Karissa, I enjoyed spending time with you and your lovely family!
Steven_A, Jun 2022
Peter is very knowledgable of the city and it’s history. It would be great if you would be able to get out and see some of the sights for a few minutes but parking would be an issue. The Boston streets and traffic do not help with the ride itself. Overall the experience shows many sections of Boston and gives you a of information.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hi Steven, I'm sorry you were disappointed in the tour. I thought that the tour description was very specific about what would be a "drive-by" and where we could stop. I try to cram as much into three hours as possible and, as you mentioned, the traffic is not always on our side. Come back again sometime, we'll try and do better!
judysyring, May 2022
Peter was great, pleasant personality and very knowledgeable. His vehicle was nice & clean. The 3 hours went by quickly! We booked this thinking it might be cool or rainy, but it ended up being 90 degrees that day so the A/C was appreciated!
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks Judy, I enjoyed meeting you!
