Boston Tour guide must! - Great tour with Paulie, very friendly and Extremely knowledgeable of all Boston area and history! Not your usual corny scripted tour guide dressed up in a colonial costume. Would highly recommend to first time visitors!!

Great Walking Tour - Thanks to Paulie for touring us around Boston and making us fall in love with the city. Paulie gave us a great tour with just the two of us which made it even more special. We learnt alot about the history of the city. Paulie also recommended another tour for us to take in Portland which we thank him for. Thanks Paulie for taking the time to tour us around and we will be sure to recommend you to any friends who visit the city. Brenda and Attila

The best tour for Boston area history - We traveled through history with Paulie on a beautiful day. It is obvious he loves what he does as we it was a rich historical tour filled with hundreds of tidbits about every area we strolled by. Skip the tours given by the people dressed like they lived in 1600 and have 30 people following them around. You will get 10x enjoyment and knowledge from Paulie.

The most charming tour in Boston! - The most charming tour in Boston! Pauly takes you on a magical stroll through the most significant points of Boston’s history. Imagine learning about the dramatic beginnings of the country from a seasoned and philosophical family friend. The history you once heard about in grade school comes to life through Pauly’s insightful narration. We are not history buffs so we did not know what to expect but this was perfect for us and Pauly does an incredible job of tailoring the experience. I learned WAY more than if I was on a bus or boat tour. If you are looking for a more intimate and personal tour of this great city with an eye for old world charm, I cannot recommend this enough!!!
