Stew was very friendly and knowledgeable about Boston and its history. Stew took us to hidden gems of Boston. Stew also dropped us off at the best Legal Sea Food restaurant and we really enjoyed it.
Stewie was a wealth of information and fun! We had a great time! We saw lots and learned a great deal about Boston.
Stewart was very knowledgeable about historical facts. He had many fun antidotes about the city too.
Comprehensive tour and knowledgeable guide. The day went by fast. We made multiple stops and covered vast amounts of Boston in one day. Great option for travelers with kids. Stewie was very kind and accommodating.
Had an awesome and informative Boston tour today with Stewie. Knowledgeable and fun 😁. Only had a day to get it all in, so this worked out perfect!
Very relaxing and fun small group tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Boston’s history and current status. We saw loads of sites!
Excellent experience! We did a freedom-trail-like tour day before and wanted to see other parts of Boston. Wow. So glad we found this tour and met Stu! He is friendly, clever and offers a sweet ride in comfy Lincoln with drinks and charm. He asked about our prior day’s tour and minimized duplication and catered to our requests. He offered options and even had photos of events we never heard of. Stu also took us places we’d never think of. He’s a master driver and safe. Felt very spoiled and grateful for a fab and full day!
Great tour! Stu is an expert! Very professional clear fun experience. Would highly recommend. Great driving see and then walk when you want. Included those Harvard secrets. American revolution war details were unexpected.

A Fabulous Experience. Stu is very knowledgeable and a great storyteller! We were traveling with a teenage and he thoroughly enjoyed the day as did the adults! Recommend it highly!
Our guide shared a tremendous amount of history and made sure we saw all the important places in Boston on our tour. Very enjoyable!
Cost of lodging and food is over the top. Getting around town by car is horrid. The subway is not interconnected, so that’s difficult.
Wonderful history lesson about the American independence. Had a great trip learning about several facts of the revolutionary war with our wonderful walking encyclopedia Stewie our guide. He showed us all the important places in Boston. He was very detailed and was gracious enough to drop us off at our hotel which was little bit far from Boston. We have no hesitation whatsoever and recommending this trip, especially with our guide Stewie
Stewie was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He was extremely accommodating and took us to places we wanted to see in addition to the regular tour. We learned a lot of great stuff about Boston and definitely recommend him. The small group format is a great way to experience the city.
The tour was fabulous.Our guide,Stewie was quite knowledgeable and entertaining. He was extremely considerate of my physical needs. The other women on the tour shared our interests and we had an unforgettable day. Thank you for providing this wonderful experience.
Steward went above and beyond to show us Boston. He was a great tour guide and authority on Boston, history and the fun trivia that goes with historical figures. I highly recommend him.
This is one of the best tours I have taken. Our guide, Stevie was professional and kind. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide was Stu. We had such a good time. Saw lots of sites, and enjoyed many, many interesting and funny facts and stories. We saw a tee shirt with the slogan “spilling the tea since 1773” and we told Stu that it should be his moniker. Highly recommend
Stewie was a great tour guide. He showed us everything & knew everything! Even a tour of Harvard & great stop for lobster rolls for lunch!
It was very informative and enjoyable. We saw lots of different areas and ate a lovely lunch that our guide recommended (he also showed us where to get a good cannoli)!
Stewie was fantastic! Very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He even got us in at the front of the line for a popular lunch restaurant. Wonderful stories and tons of sites covered during the 8 hours together. We give him 10 out if 10!!
A memorable experience, worth every penny. Stewie was informative, interesting and customized the trip according our interests. It was the highlight of our Boston trip. We love history and could not have asked for more. Stewie is a walking Boston history encyclopedia. We would absolutely recommend this trip for those interested in how Boston grew to what it is today.
It was amazing we saw about every historical site in Boston. Stewey, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share his knowledge other Boston area.
Beat tour we have taken Stewie was fabulous Easy to talk to and a wealth of knowledge We loved every minute saw lots of Boston had a wonderful seafood lunch Highly recommend to anyone
Great private tour on comfortable vehicle with outstandingly knowledgeable guide. He took us to so many interesting sites, had a wealth of knowledge and went out of his way to assist us.
The guide was knowledgeable and amusing. We saw a lot of Boston and learned lots of information. Only issue is probably my not enjoying the long ride, twists and turns, bumpy road and non-stop narrative. It was just too much talk so after 3 hours I had had enough. Most people would be fine with it and have a great tour.
Stewie was very knowledgeable and worked to tailor the tour to participants’ interests. Let him know when you would like lunch so he can plan around the tour and drop off. There is some walking and getting out of the very back of the vehicle that could be an issue for people with mobility challenges. Highly recommend the tour!
We had a great day with Stewie. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the things on our bucket list. It was a really hot day and Stewie provided cold drinks along the way, which was hugely appreciated. He was very informative and definitely knew a lot of secrets that others don't! Please book Stewie, he is loads of fun and you won't regret it.
Stewie was an amazing tour guide! He knows EVERYTHING about the history of the Boston area. The places we went can never be reached by a tour bus or trolley. You can learn so much from this full day of touring. Highly recommend!
Stewie is a great tour guide. Very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He took us all over Boston as we got to see some of the great historical attractions in Boston. This is a must for anybody visiting Boston for the first time.
Great, personalized experience! Stewie listened to what we wanted from the experience and got to see so much of Boston.
Stewie was Very personable. We had a Great time. Lots of knowledge and definitely went out of his way. Above and beyond.
Stewie provides a fantastic private tour of Boston. We enjoyed learning so much: from the Freedom Trail to Beacon Brahmins, and MIT student pranks to 20th century political scandals. We had a wonderful time, and Stewie provided a comfortable experience. It was like taking a graduate course on all things Boston! As an extra bonus, he shared his favorite places to eat in the north end and all of them delivered deliciousness. All of the other five star reviews are spot on. Highly recommend!
Great relaxed ride with Stewie. Good info and he went the extra mile. Nice overview of freedom trail. He knew Boston well.
Stewie was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the city. Went overboard to make sure our experience was the best
Very comfortable ride around town with Stewie! This man is a wealth of knowledge. He really took the time to know what we wanted to see and had so many cool stories that you would not hear otherwise. It was well worth the cost and would actually do the tour again with him if we had the opportunity.
Wonderful tour with Stewie! He took us places we wouldn’t have been able to visit on foot or public transport in such a short time. We really got to see all the highlights of Boston with great insider info. A fantastic tour well worth your time and money.
Stewy was great! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Very fun day. We loved Old Ironsides and touring Harvard campus.
Stewie is the best, with a tour that covers Boston from its beginning to the present. I know a decent amount of history and he was able to fill in some gaps.
Stewie was awesome and SO knowledgeable about Boston. He was very accommodating, took AMAZING care of us, and made it such an incredible time. I loved being able to see so many sites throughout Boston. We highly recommend having him as your tour guide!
Just a great way to spend a day touring Boston. Stuey was a fun and informative host and driver. He went out of his way to be sure everyone got to see what they had hoped to see.
This was a great tour and a steady supply of information on the city. Comfortable vehicle and only one other couple so it was very personal . If you want to see Boston this is the tour.
A good selection of high lights of Boston and the revolution. Great back stories of Paul Revere and his role in history.
Stewie is great. Knows so much information about Boston and took us all over in his comfortable car. Phoned me on the morning to let me know he was on the way and collected us at the hotel and dropped us off there at about 3pm. Only 4 of us on this small group tour. Great way to see everything if you only have limited time in Boston but also gives you a good overview of Boston to help you decide what you want to see in more detail.
Stewie our guide was brilliant in giving us all the information on everywhere we visited and was so friendly, personable and had a great sense of humour. Would definitely recommend this day tour.
Our tour guide, Stewie, was amazing! It was like taking a tour of Boston with a friend. Stewie picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. His knowledge on All Things Boston is vast. He offered us free soft drinks/water during the trip - he simply went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed. I recommend this tour!
