Wonderful history lesson about the American independence. Had a great trip learning about several facts of the revolutionary war with our wonderful walking encyclopedia Stewie our guide. He showed us all the important places in Boston. He was very detailed and was gracious enough to drop us off at our hotel which was little bit far from Boston. We have no hesitation whatsoever and recommending this trip, especially with our guide Stewie
Dawn_B, Sep 2025
Stewie was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He was extremely accommodating and took us to places we wanted to see in addition to the regular tour. We learned a lot of great stuff about Boston and definitely recommend him. The small group format is a great way to experience the city.
CandaceL_W, Sep 2025
Steward went above and beyond to show us Boston. He was a great tour guide and authority on Boston, history and the fun trivia that goes with historical figures. I highly recommend him.

It was amazing we saw about every historical site in Boston. Stewey, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share his knowledge other Boston area.

Great private tour on comfortable vehicle with outstandingly knowledgeable guide.
He took us to so many interesting sites, had a wealth of knowledge and went out of his way to assist us.
Lisa_S, Jun 2025
Stewie was very knowledgeable and worked to tailor the tour to participants’ interests. Let him know when you would like lunch so he can plan around the tour and drop off. There is some walking and getting out of the very back of the vehicle that could be an issue for people with mobility challenges. Highly recommend the tour!
Amanda_C, Jun 2025
We had a great day with Stewie. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the things on our bucket list. It was a really hot day and Stewie provided cold drinks along the way, which was hugely appreciated. He was very informative and definitely knew a lot of secrets that others don't! Please book Stewie, he is loads of fun and you won't regret it.
Ashley_W, Apr 2025

Great relaxed ride with Stewie. Good info and he went the extra mile. Nice overview of freedom trail. He knew Boston well.
Christy_B, Jan 2025
Stewie was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the city. Went overboard to make sure our experience was the best
Gwyn_P, Jan 2025
Very comfortable ride around town with Stewie! This man is a wealth of knowledge. He really took the time to know what we wanted to see and had so many cool stories that you would not hear otherwise. It was well worth the cost and would actually do the tour again with him if we had the opportunity.

Stewie is the best, with a tour that covers Boston from its beginning to the present. I know a decent amount of history and he was able to fill in some gaps.
Thomas_B, Oct 2024
This was a great tour and a steady supply of information on the city. Comfortable vehicle and only one other couple so it was very personal . If you want to see Boston this is the tour.
Katherine_D, Sep 2024
A good selection of high lights of Boston and the revolution. Great back stories of Paul Revere and his role in history.
Thomas_P, Sep 2024
Stewie our guide was brilliant in giving us all the information on everywhere we visited and was so friendly, personable and had a great sense of humour. Would definitely recommend this day tour.
Andy_C, Sep 2024
Our tour guide, Stewie, was amazing! It was like taking a tour of Boston with a friend. Stewie picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. His knowledge on All Things Boston is vast. He offered us free soft drinks/water during the trip - he simply went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed. I recommend this tour!
Barbara_P, Sep 2024
I would highly recommend this tour! Stewie made this seem like an outing with a friend showing us his city! He went above and beyond expectations to make this a great day! We really appreciated that he picked us up at our hotel instead of us having to find our way to the meeting spot! Thanks Stewie for making this tour so special!
Susan_N, Aug 2024
Stewie was happy to spend as much time as we wanted and had SO much great info to share! Not only about the sites we were seeing, but also about places to eat and things to do.
Jean_S, Jul 2024
I enjoyed the actual tour but our guide should learn to read his audience. Spent lots of time explaining history even when they started wandering. Wasted about an hour figuring out what to do with our luggage. I had told them in advance we would have a lot of luggage but he was not prepared for any luggage. We did not know others would be in the car with us. I felt communication was lacking. I have used viator many times and this was the only time I wasn't pleased
Response from Host, Aug 2024
I am sorry that I was overwhelmed by all the luggage. This was not a private tour so there could be up to six tourists with me. I did hire two taxis to handle the luggage at no additional cost to you and brought you to the airport as a courtesy. At least I tried to make it work but I cannot agree to carry luggage in the future and will refund your money.

The USS Constitution portion was absolutely outstanding! The Bunker Hill tour was very good,. The only negative at all was the timing, the tour lasted 6 hours and we didn’t quite get to see everything. However, I would definitely do this tour again!!
Michael_J, Jun 2024
Our driver Stewie was awesome with his knowledge of our country’s history and local events. It was a rainy day but our tour was not dampened. We saw all the highlights and more. At the end we were dropped off in the North end for early dinner then Stuwie came back and picked us up to return to our hotel
Christina_L, May 2024
Stuart gives us a lot of information and we had a lovely day with the tour members too. Even the lunch stop was perfect
Krista_A, May 2024
Such a fun filled day! Our guide catered the tour based on our group’s preferences. Highly recommended!
Stephanie_W, Mar 2024
What a fabulous tour of Boston AND Cambridge! Stewie is super knowledgeable, kind and patient. We learned so much! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR
Kay_W, Mar 2024
Stewie was our savior on a very rainy day. He had umbrellas for us to make the stops comfortable. We covered so much of the city in the comfort of his SUV. He’s knowledgeable, flexible and has a great sense of humor. We most enjoyed going inside the USS Constitution.
Jen_L, Mar 2024
This was one of the most wonderful tours we have ever done! Stewie was informative, engaging, and overall, an amazing tour guide! Highly recommended for anyone with limited time in Boston to see annd experience so much of the city.
