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.

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.
Martin was terrific, very knowledgeable and very personable. He continued to engage and share known and little known facts about the various sites and it was such a great way to see the city and explore the history. Would recommend Martin and this tour 100% and hope to do other tours with Martin in the future.
Martin’s knowledge of the history of Boston was very exceptional and made the tour very interesting. His use of the tablet in showing pictures of the historical areas from before to current helped with perspective. Very much enjoyed this tour.
Martin did a good job, he was very knowledgeable and we saw a lot in a short period of time. Loved being able to get out and walk around Bunker Hill. This is a driving tour and there is not a lot of time for getting out and seeing things up close and personal. Overall, a very good tour.
We had an amazing trip definitely would recommend this to everyone
Martin was very interesting to spend the morning with. We had a great time exploring Boston with him!!
Phenomenal!!!! Only word needed to describe this tour. Martin personalized his existing tour to accommodate our requests. He has a great personality and goes above and beyond. Definitely the best way to explore Boston.
We'll cover a lot in 3 hours. . . some sites we'll drive by, some we'll pause for a story or photo and there's a couple that you might want to go into. I like to keep this flexible, so you can tell me which you're keen to stop at. This will give you an idea of what we cover. . . . Drive the Freedom Trail sites of: - Boston Common - State House - Granary Burial Ground - Kings Chapel - Old South Meeting house - Old State house (stop for a story and photo) - Faneuil Hall - Old North Church (time to go into the famous church) - Paul Revere house - USS Constitution - Bunker Hill (great battle story) Historic neighborhoods of: - North End (known as Italian north end, we can stop of a cannoli if you have a sweet tooth) - Charlestown - Beacon Hill (photo stop) - Back Bay - Copley Square Other places of interest: - Boston Harbor & Greenway - Seaport area - Fenway Park I pick up and drop off at any downtown hotel or accommodation, at the cruise terminal or will arrange to meet at a convenient place in the city.
