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.

This is a 2-mile walking tour with uneven cobblestone terrain. I will meet you at your Hotel and we will Taxi together to the start of the tour. This is not part of the "tour time" and will not take from your 2.5 hours of touring.
Airport: ,Cruise: ,ByGuide: We can meet wherever is most convenient for you but if you are available to meet anywhere, 139 Tremont Street at the Boston Common Visitors Center is ideal!
