    Six of us spent a lovely and fun afternoon with Neal as he shared his beautiful city with us. As a former teacher, he was filled with information that he shared in a very entertaining manner. It was a perfect mix of walking and riding. Great tour!

    Neal picked us up on time and at our place. He was outstanding. We consumed the whole four hours and then some. We did the walking tour of freedom trail where we learned quite a few items and misconceptions starting with Paul Revere house. We walked all around the north end and then went in the car and visited The USS Constitution, Bunker Hill neighborhood, Fenway Park, old North Church, and all around downtown. Neal knew alot about just about everything Boston history and building information. We had my sister in law, who was a boston resident and grew up here, indicated she did not hear anything that was not factual and learned alot. Neal was engaging, very friendly, and a retired boston school teacher. I highly recommend and would take the tour again

    Knowledgeable, sophisticated, entertaining, personable, responsive, thoughtful And thorough tour of Boston. Neal covers so much more territory with running commentary than you could possibly do walking or on a bus. Yet it’s not too much or presented in a way that’s confusing about Boston and history. Very highly recommended.

    It’s so nice to have a true local share the city they love. We enjoyed 4 hours plus of history, architecture, culture and all the little nuances that you only get with a a local. Worth the time and investment!

    We had one day in Boston on a 13 day cruise and Neal made this port and tour our favorite. So much history told by an intelligent and amusing guide, brought old Boston to life. Neal gave us the real history and he has visual aids too, which helped greatly for some of us to see the growth of Boston. I highly recommend this tour if you love history, food, sports (Fenway park) and so much more. I was fascinated by the underground highway. We’ve already planned for next year, as there is so much more to see. We loved our tour and thank you Neal for some great memories!
