Overview of your Boston tour

Welcome to Boston. During this amazing tour you will see all the most popular sights and experience the best parts of the city with a local guide. We can meet at the Cruise Terminal (or other selected location) and taxi together to a convenient Downtown Location to do a walking tour of the City Highlights. We can return via taxi to the Cruise Terminal to end our tour or you can choose to stay Downtown. We'll see all of the things you would see on an ordinary tour - they're certainly worthwhile. But I will also show you the special things that make Boston great. You'll not only get the history, but also the stories behind the history as well. And if you like architecture, you'll love Boston even more! I'll share my special love of the city with you. Includes the highlights of the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, Back Bay and the North End plus much much more. As your private tour guide, I can adjust the schedule, duration and activities to meet your needs. Please let me know of any special requests you have.

Alan is a terrific guide. He is knowledgeable and engaging. He also went above and beyond to assist my husband who is mobility impaired and to tailor the tour to his abilities and our interests. We had an excellent day. Thank you, Alan!
