Hi! My name is Christian and I have been a tour guide here in Boston for more then 20 years. I first came to Boston as a college student where I studied History and Secondary Education at Boston College, one of the dozens of great universities in the Boston area. The first time I led tours was shortly after I graduated college and the job has become a passion of mine ever since. Showing visitors this amazing city is a true honor. Boston has so much to offer, from arts, to culture to architecture. And then of course there is the history! It would be difficult to find a city in America as rich in history as Boston. The true charm of Boston is the fact every where you turn history is staring you in the face. I love the words of William Faulkner, "The past is never dead. It's not even past. " That couldn't be more true than here in Boston. If you were to join me on one of my tours, you could expect to learn stories and see things that even the most experienced visitors to Boston would find new and amazing. I relish the opportunity to add fresh perspective and new insight to all those who take my tour. Attention to detail and client satisfaction are truly what make tours successful and memorable. I have an easy going personality and really enjoy making each tour unique and suited to the particular interests of the client. Whether it be history, shopping, pub crawling, pop culture, food or sports, you just let me know and I will use my vast tour guide experience to show you something new. Giving tours is like traveling the world without ever leaving home, and as much as I love my city and showing people it's amazing sights, the real joy of my job is making new friends. The personal interactions that develop during a private tour are really the reason I love this job. I am always open to make new friends and learn a thing or two myself. I hope you'll take one of my tours and we will have a chance to connect.

Christian made the story of Boston come alive for us. It’s obvious he has a passion for history and his warmth and knowledge was wonderful. Christian is the type of person you want to sit and chat with in a local tavern! We’ve had tour guides around the world and Christian is one of the best. Highly recommended.

Christian was flexible to pick us up at our hotel, he was punctual, very friendly and very knowledgeable. He answered questions regarding buildings not on the tour. He surprised us with entry to Paul Reveres house. When the tour was over, he was kind enough to drop us off at the airport. We had a great time, and I would highly recommend Christian as your next tour guide.

Christian was a fantastic guide and was excellent in every way. He took our group of 4 on a half day tour and showed us all the best sights. He was a history professor for 22 years and his knowledge of history is amazing He gave us wonderful insight into the history and culture of Boston. Christian has a great personality and was very friendly. He communicated professionally with us from the very first inquiry and gave us great confidence in the booking. He gave us the opportunity to customize our tour and we had a wonderful and memorable day. I highly recommend Christian!
