Peter is very knowledgable of the city and it’s history. It would be great if you would be able to get out and see some of the sights for a few minutes but parking would be an issue. The Boston streets and traffic do not help with the ride itself. Overall the experience shows many sections of Boston and gives you a of information.

Hi Steven, I'm sorry you were disappointed in the tour. I thought that the tour description was very specific about what would be a "drive-by" and where we could stop. I try to cram as much into three hours as possible and, as you mentioned, the traffic is not always on our side. Come back again sometime, we'll try and do better!
