Peter was a great guide....

5.00Peter was a great guide. The tour really gives you a lot of information about Boston and the history of Boston. Peter is a safe driver who keeps the tour engaging. On a cold winter day it was wonderful to be in a warm car.
The absolute best way to see Boston—Peter is a legend!

5.00If you are looking for the perfect way to see Boston without battling the freezing temperatures, this is it. Our group of four booked this tour on a whim, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. The 'warm van' promise was fully kept, but the real star of the show was our guide, Peter. I cannot speak highly enough of him. Often, a three-hour drive can feel long, but Peter kept our attention the entire time. He has an endless supply of fascinating stories and local history that you simply wouldn't get from a guide book. He managed to make the city come alive while we stayed perfectly comfortable. If you want a tour that feels personal, engaging, and incredibly comfortable, ask for Peter. Worth every cent!
Best option for personalized and private tour of Boston.

1.00We left the tour early because it was so uncomfortable to be with this tour guide. He fooled us with all the right things to say at the beginning of our tour such as feel free to ask any questions, let me know if you need air or heat etc. As the tour progressed, it was all about him. He wanted to control everything - every step of the way, every conversation, every belief, everything. He even said I am going to give you a test at the end of our tour to see if you were listening. We thought he was joking at first yet no laughter or just kidding followed. He was so demeaning to my husband when my husband inquired about where Cheers was filmed. My husband was so sweet and engaging but this man wasn't having it. He was going to prove that my husband was wrong. He was rigid, unengaging, patronizing and unwilling to be interpersonal with communication whatsoever. And the real validation of our decision to cut the tour short after one long, excruciating hour happened when we told him we needed to end the tour and get back to the hotel due to work. We already knew telling him that we were uncomfortable was just going to lead to another precarious situation with him so we opted for a safe way out. He clearly was so agitated that we were not under his control any longer. He became passive aggressive. He started driving recklessly and irresponsibly even after knowing that his excessive speed and dangerous moves were frightening to us. We actually feared for our lives. We can't believe that we paid an exorbitant amount of money for nothing but a traumatic experience. We pray no one else falls victim to this unsafe tour. I never leave reviews unless I feel strongly. In this case, I feel morally obligated.
Peter was so...

5.00Great navigator and host for the beautiful city of Boston! Impressive knowledge. Peter drove and managed traffic while never missing a beat in his narrative. Great option when family members are unable to walk around the city.
