.Welcome to Boston! I’m a born-and-raised Bostonian with 40 years of guiding experience, and I genuinely enjoy showing off my hometown. Whether this is your first visit or your fifth, I’ll help you explore Boston in a way that’s fun, informative, and tailored to your interests. Before guiding full-time, I spent many years as a middle school teacher while touring on weekends and summers, so I know how to keep things engaging for all ages. My tours strike a balance between history, stories, architecture, hidden gems, and just the right amount of trivia. You’ll walk away knowing more about Boston, but you’ll also laugh, take some great photos, and have a good time along the way. My philosophy is that tours should always be fun, never boring! I welcome everyone: solo travelers, families, and corporate groups. Each tour is designed around your pace and priorities. Want more history? Great. Prefer local spots and scenic views? We can do that too. Want less walking, no problem. I offer walking tours, driving tours, or a mix of both, whatever works best for your group. Every tour can be customized. In addition to being a licensed guide to transport passengers, I’ve worked as an operations manager for a major sightseeing company as well as a hotel concierge. If you need restaurant tips, help planning your day, or ideas for things to do beyond the tour, I’m happy to help. A few more things about me: - City of Boston licensed guide since 1985 with a CDL and a Boston Sightseeing License to legally transport passengers - Member of the Board of Directors of the Greater Boston Tour Guide Association and Head of Communications - Hold two master’s degrees in education - Lead guide for a private Boston sightseeing tours company - Former operations manager at a large Boston tour company - Lifelong Boston sports fan! I am happy to show you where the championships happen Let’s make your time in Boston memorable for all the right reasons. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, I’ll show you the best of this incredible city.

Overview of your Boston tour
A 2. 5 - 3 hour version of my city driving sightseeing tour of Boston for up to 6 people. This overview covers most of the highlights of Boston, Cambridge & Charlestown without all the long stops and walking. Take a step back into history, experience our Puritan roots and Boston's role in the American Revolution. See the many sights along the historic Freedom Trail and the luxury homes in Beacon Hill. Enjoy the beauty of the upscale Victorian Back Bay and go across the river to Cambridge, home of some of the world's finest institutions of higher education. The tour includes short stops for pictures. All of my tours are very flexible and may be customized. Please check with me prior to booking to confirm a particular date's availability. Although I try to keep the calendar as accurate as possible, sometimes things come up, especially if last minute.
