Boston Tour through the eyes of a local - 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.

Spilling the tea in Boston - 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

Most excellent. Money well spent. - 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.
