    Peter B was our inestimable tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and gracious. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. Our tour ran long due to traffic but, after we assured him that we had no other pressing appointments, Peter spent the time needed on all the sites along the way. Highly recommend.

    Peter was on time and met us in our hotel lobby, loaded our luggage for us! Friendly and outgoing, he knew Boston very well and was a wealth of information. An excellent way to cover a lot of ground and see a great deal of Boston. We finished the tour a little early and so Peter took us to another area of Boston (instead of just dropping us off early), which proves he cares about providing a top-notch service. He even generously dropped us off at the cruise ship terminal per our request (versus back at our hotel). We would have preferred a few more opportunities to quickly get out and take pictures, but overall a great tour!

    Peter was so accommodating with picking us up at the cruise terminal and dropping us off at our hotel at the end. He is very knowledgeable about Boston and the history. It was so nice to have our own private tour. Peter is the best.

    We went to Boston to watch the Maple Leafs take on the Bruins. Since we were only in Boston for 2 days this was a great way to see all of the interesting and historical parts of Boston in a short period of time. Peter was a fabulous guide and extremely knowledgable about the history of Boston. He made the tour both interesting and fun. He even adjusted the order of the tour for us so he could drop us off at Fenway Park when it was over as we were doing a tour of Fenway in the afternoon. Thanks Peter for showing us so much of Boston and answering all our questions. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
