Having done contract work around the world for 10 years, I can confidently say that Boston is my favorite place to be. I love talking about my travels but it's Boston that has my heart and I call it home. I have many interests and hobbies - I play ukulele (mostly for the singalong aspect); I love hiking (clocked in at over 3000 miles thus far); I am constantly on the lookout for good Sci-fi reads (but also like a compelling science-based non-fiction); I adore my bike (mostly just a bicycle commuter - having ventured into bike-packing yet) but one of my favorite things to do is to introduce people to new things and experiences - as a tour guide, I get to do this every day. Through Boston history, food and culture - I watch people grow in their understanding and love of a place. Working with people through ToursByLocals gives me an opportunity to custom fit people's interests into a stellar day in my favorite city. Certified Guide - International Tour Management Institute UMass Amherst Bachelors of Anthropology Road Scholar Group Leader Trained Facilitator I am not a licensed guide for some places and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments/buildings.

Overview of your Boston tour

Cruise through the city in comfort as I share my detailed knowledge of historical and modern Boston. Hear about how the American Revolution that created our country started in Boston, see where the Boston Marathon ends, cruise through Boston's Italian District, and gaze at the Bunker Hill Memorial! Get a little view into what life in Boston looks like and how the modern Bostonian and the historical one still frequent many of the same buildings. This tour includes excellent photo opportunities. As we cruise over the Charles River - get your own shot of the Citgo Sign and the iconic Zakim Bridge! You'll leave this tour knowing how all the things fit together - The Tea Party, Paul Revere's Ride, the Boston Massacre - All while being entertained with Boston history, current events, and stories!

Transport details

This is a driving tour. I will stop where guests request so they can tour and walk around, but I will not be able to leave the vehicle. Please message if you would like to hire a driver so I can attend to you 100% of the time (prices to be discussed at that point). Vehicle will be rented with optional add-ons for any special needs (car seats, extra space, etc). I generally use the following guidelines: 5 Guests - Honda Odyssey or similar 7 Guests - Ford Transit or similar
