Tour guide in Boston Massachusetts Joan M.

Hi there, glad you're thinking of coming to Boston. I adopted Boston as my home town 20 years ago and loved being an informal tour guide to friends and family so much, I made it my profession. I'm originally from Scotland, and so much of Boston's history has links to the UK, I felt instantly at home here. I'm naturally a curious person so moving to a new city gave me a whole load of stuff to explore and learn about. I'm a keen social historian, and have attended lots of courses and lectures about Boston & American history and continue studying to broaden my own knowledge and add content to my tour. Knowing the history of the city is interesting, but my time as a tour guide has taught me that history isn't everybody's cup of tea! The great thing about being a private tour guide is that I can customize each tour to exactly what the group is keen to see and hear about. I'm full of current day stories, fun facts, useless bits of info about the city, famous movie scenes, real estate prices, shopping tips and off the beaten path spots that help me make each tour unique. Boston has such a lively atmosphere and as a foodie who enjoys wine & cocktails I'm always out and about in the city researching places to eat, drink, watch sports, catch a show or live music. This "research" I pass along with tips and suggestions of places to go (and avoid) while in Boston. I love people, and have an up beat, light hearted and relaxed style to touring. I'm Boston's only female driving private tour guide, and am approved and licensed by the Boston Transportation Commissioner and Boston Police Department. I've been a professional private tour guide for 5 years and do driving tours in a new, livery insured Honda Odyssey mini van. Please don't hesitate to get in touch for more info about my Boston tours, any questions you might have or if you need some help customizing a tour, would love to hear from you.
