Founded by Bill
McDonough,a native Bostonian and former social studies
teacher, Boston Private Tours recognised the fact that
there are many tour-bus and "trolley-tour" operators in Boston...but
they generally stick to a small geographically limited,section of
Boston Proper, and we could'nt help but notice that these
cumbersome vehicles are not legal on many of the quaint and historic
narrow streets of Boston .Even on streets where buses' are
legal, their size makes the side streets inacessible and so
your tour is really restricted to commercial roadways' and you don't
get to see the really charming neighborhoods and sites.In essence,
bus tours are very limited in scope ,but the average
visitor never realises how much they are missing..
 Bostons' olde State House,1724..once the seat of
Englands' Governors'; also the Site of
the Boston Massacre....1770............from here the Declaration of
Independence was first proclaimed to the citizens' of
Boston....
We provide comfortable
vans or optional VIP Limousines..we pick you up and drop you off at
your door or, ..at your Hotel in Greater Boston..we stop when you
want to stop and we provide expert narration as our drivers are
current,former or retired Boston area teachers. Want to stop for a
snack or lunchbreak? You're the boss...we'll make
suggestions, but you make the decisions!
Tell us what
you like, what you want to see, and we'll tailor-make a
customised tour for you!
Many times a
small group,say two couples,will have different interests...the
women might wish to go shopping or visit art galleries or
museums...the men may want to visit historic sites or take in a
ballgame at fabled Fenway Park. We'll head off with you to one
destination and take an interesting route there while narrating for
you points of interest enroute. Then we'll take the others in your
party to their destination. We'll coordinate pick-up of both parties
and take you back to your hotel,or to a great or an interesting
restaurant afterwards.You make the decisions!
College and Prep
School tours are a specialty..we'll take you and your child to the
colleges or prep schools of your choice; Unbiased,we will show you
their neighborhoods,explain local transportation systems and give
you overviews of the kinds of attractions they may enjoy and address
any security issues you may have about the area.
Trips outside Boston

Cod and take a ferry to the scenic island of Nantucket where over
800 houses that are 200 or more years old hug its' old Whaling
Harbor? How about a golf game inland or a visit to Stockbridge,Mass.
