Boston Like a Local: Customized Private Tour

Overview

Get to know the city through the eyes of a passionate local. With no set itinerary, you can customize the tour or leave it up to the local for an insightful introduction to the city. Make travel about the people you meet not just the places you see. With our walking tours, you’ll skip the mundane historical tours and discover the city through a local’s eyes. Experience a tour that will transform the way you travel to make it as much about the people you meet, as it is the places you see. Our local guides (Lokafyers) are passionate about their city and eager to share their knowledge and perspective. Since Lokafyers are not professional guides and tour occasionally, they provide an experience that’s authentic and personal, like a friend showing you around their city. By the end of the tour, you'll feel comfortable navigating the city and confident that you have all the information you need to make the most of your stay.

I would not recommend this at all. The “tour guide” we had is not really a local and has only been in USA for about 5 years (from Mexico). She could not even pronounce many of the important words about Boston, let alone tell us about the culture/history. She very slowly (I kept asking her to pick up the pace - and she wouldn’t) took us along the freedom trail and got many of the landmarks wrong - or just made up something based on what it looked like. She was very quit and I had to repeatedly ask questions about some of the sites (which she didn’t have any answers for). I got more value out of my parking fees than his tour. Download a walking self tour on your phone and follow it- you will get much better information. Do NOT take a chance on some random “local” that claims to know something about the town.
