Hello from Boston, I arrived here from Ireland over 30 years ago, and as soon as I got off the plane I knew I was here to stay. I'm a huge history buff, and love to hear and read about people. I'm lucky, I have a great memory for details, names and dates, and with a touch of the "blarney" am able to tell a good story. Content is key to being a private tour guide, and I've built up a wide range of stories. I have deep knowledge of Revolutionary War, and military history, but I know that's not for everybody and can go into as much or little detail as needed. There's so much more to the Boston area than history. . . . . architecture, ghost stories, Irish migration, movies scenes, sports and colleges to name a few and so over the years I just keep adding stories and fun facts to my content. Part of what brought me to Boston was to play music, so when I'm not playing, I'm probably out listening to music or having dinner and drinks somewhere in the city. This lets me keep current with what's happening around Boston and I've loads of recommendations to pass on of places to check out. Being a private tour guide is my ideal job, I love being around and talking to people, telling and listening to stories and having some laughs. I've a glass half full outlook on life and a good humored, easy going personality. I'm an approved and licensed city tour guide, do walking tours of the Freedom Trail in Boston and driving tours around the Greater Boston area. Please send me a message if you'd like help putting a tour together, I've done a lot of private customized tours and have lots of off the beaten path ideas. Look forward to touring with you. All the best Martin Fully licensed driving tour guide. Approved to conduct driving tours by Boston Transportation Dept & Boston Police Dept. Driving a livery insured vehicle. Also licensed to conduct walking tours. none

Overview of your Boston tour

My half day private driving tour takes you from one end of the city to the other. As we drive along Boston's Freedom Trail, I'll share stories of the city's almost 400 year history, the events, people and sites that make Boston unique. We'll drive into the oldest and most modern neighborhoods of Boston, pull in at certain sites to compare old and new and I share pictures on my iPad that help give context to current day Boston. There's an optional stop at the infamous Old North Church, and time to take photos along the way. All the classics like Bunker Hill, Paul Revere House & Tea Party are covered, as well as icons like Fenway Park and the Cheers Bar. This is the perfect way to orientate yourself to Boston, to see not just the historic sites, but the entire city. As we tour around, I can give lots of suggestions of favorite local bars, cafes and restaurant. Please contact me for more info, with questions or for help customizing your tour.
