Nine ND women recently spent the day with Bill and Deklan touring Boston and it was awesome! The knowledge of these gentlemen is amazing. They picked us up right at our hotel- we toured all the highlights we wanted to see, had lunch in little Italy, dessert at Mike's Pastry's OF COURSE and after an afternoon of more touring, were...

Matt was our guide for the day. He picked us up promptly. Days before our tour I had many communications with both Bill and Matt. They had many suggestions and wanted to know what I was interested in seeing. They asked if there were any limitations and so forth. Matt knows Boston and enjoys showing it, that is obvious. On...

My husband and I spent the day driving through the various areas of Boston with David, Bill's son. He was fun to be with and showed us all the interesting neighborhoods in the area.

Contacting BPT was easy; I left a message with Bill McDonough and he returned the call the next morning, and we booked a tour for the following day. Bill was very friendly and professional, and immediately set me at ease. On the morning of the tour, Matt was kind enough to call... More

On a recent cruise of Canada and New England, I was concerned that a trip to Boston would not be possible due to our short visit in the port of Gloucester (7 AM to 3 PM). Most of the passengers that chat through Cruise Critic strongly advised against attempting to go into the city and they warned that to do... More

We did a 2 day tour with Martha from Explore NY Tours. Highly recommend her as a tour guide. She knows NYC like the back of her hand. Answered every question with expertise. She also guided our bus driver as to where he could go and couldn't go with a bus, told him where to park etc. She is a... More

In 2004 I did my first tour with Bill of Boston Private Tours and have doing touring with Bill and his colleague, Matt, multiple times since then. I've done several solo tours with this company and, as a teacher, asked them to accompany me and my students on our school trips to Boston. Think of a "checklist" of qualities you... More
