3 hour private tour in a comfortable mini van. Picked us up from lunch and gave us an excellent tour in and around Boston. Finished with making a reservation for us at his friends restaurant.

Don't hesitate to book!

Katherine_F, Apr 2026
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!

Very informative… great...

Christian was a wonderful guide! Knowledge and engaging- he made it fun and customized for my father-in-law who went to school at MIT in the 60s. This was part of his birthday present and was a hit! Thank you Christian for making this an extra special treat!

Joan was delightful....

Daniel_R, Jul 2025
Joan was delightful. Pickup was very easy and she dropped us right at Fenway as we asked so we could go in the stadium for their tour

Great overview of the city of Boston!

Paula_B, Jun 2025
Great way to get a real foundational view of the city of Boston. We have been to Boston on numerous occasions and have taken a few tours before. I thought this might be redundant but saw a lot of places I’ve never been to (i.e. ‘Southie’) and stories that I’d never heard. We didn’t want a walking tour and instead got to see a personal tour of Boston in the comfort of an air conditioned car. Well worth the money.

Above and beyond exponentially!

Tam_B, May 2025
Joan WAS A JEWEL! She listened, she understood we were under a time crunch and made everything we wanted to happen, HAPPEN! Joan was extremely accurate and knowledgeable in any question we asked. If I zoned out from all the sights, she reeled me back in. She has a warmth about her that I really enjoyed and so did my adult children. I WILL be returning to tour with Joan again! She MADE THE TRIP AMAZING!

Joan was wonderful! She...

We enjoyed our City tour....

Phil_T, Mar 2025
We enjoyed our City tour. Martin was very friendly & very knowledgeable about Boston. It was our first trip to the city. Looking back, I wish he would have refreshed our memories more of the revolutionary war.

Three Hours of Exploration and Laughs

Ellen_A, Nov 2024
Martin gave us a great overview of the city of Boston, including little known facts and even a few jokes! We had a wonderful day exploring the city and learning new things. Martin even made us a lunch reservation at a delicious spot in the North End. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour & guide

Susan_J, Oct 2024
We loved Boston & can’t wait to return. And our tour guide, Martin, was responsible for this. We saw everything we were expecting & more. Be sure to book with him. You won’t regret it😊

Amazing experience!

ANNE_K, Jun 2024
Christian took wonderful care of us and showed us so many awesome places around the city. He explained the history so well and stopped whenever we wanted to take pictures. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

There's No Better Introduction to Boston!

Tammy_B, Jun 2024
Martin is delightful - full of energy, stories, and historical tidbits! Our friends that we traveled with had never been to Boston, and Martin's tour was a PERFECT introduction to the city because not only did he drive us around to the historical sites, but he also drove us to the various sections and neighborhoods. My husband and I have been to Boston a few times, but that didn't matter because we were thrilled that we got to spend three hours with Martin! We would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Boston Historical Tour

David_K, Jun 2024
Martin was very knowledgeable about all the historical sites. It was a pleasure to be guided by Martin. We highly recommend Martin for this tour.
