This was a GREAT Tour!! We went to Harvard (which I did not think I would be very interested in) and learned quirky and little know facts and trivia, then toured Bunker Hill, and Old Ironside! For the money you cannot beat a tour with Stuey!! He’s a great conversationist, and it was just four of us on this private tour!! Besides our tour of Fenway Park it comes in a close second on the list of adventures in Boston!! Thank you, Stuey!!

Regan was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. He knew a lot about the history of Boston and was very happy to give directions at any stops you wanted to explore. Will definitely be returning in the future!

The 2 tour bus drivers we had the pleasure of travelling with were incredibly entertaining as well as full of fun facts, I wish I could remember their names!

We enjoyed our 2 day tours and information along the way. The drivers were very knowledgeable and fun.

Some guides were better than others, ALL knowledgeable of the areas and history.
