Boston Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

I have been a tour guide in Boston for more than 25 years. I have a real passion for the history of the city and love to show people around. I have excellent reviews and a very comfortable demeanor with clients.

I'm a long-time Boston resident with a passion for Boston history and exploring the city on foot. I've lived in Boston ever since moving here for college 16 years ago and immediately falling in love with the city. I'm currently a North End resident, but in the past I have lived in over 20 different apartments across most of Boston's neighborhoods. I can take tourists off the beaten path in any part of Boston and show the area through the eyes of a local. I worked for Boston City Hall for many years, running the city's first ever Data Engineering team. My team created Boston's city-wide data warehouse, bringing analytics and automation to the city. Listen to hilarious stories about the inner workings (or lack thereof) of a city government from an (ex) city employee and an active long time resident. I started giving tours of Boston this summer after quitting my regular 9-5 job and I love it! I'm an experienced traveler who has taken many tours around the world and I would like to give that back to the tourists who visit the city I call home. I'm passionate, funny, and full of quirky historical knowledge about Boston. Ask me about any statue or cool building that you see as we pass it, chances are I know something about it! I love good food and a nice cold beer, and know where to find the best lobster roll and chowder in Boston. I have been enthusiastically eating and drinking my way through the area for over a decade and can recommend a place to try any cuisine that comes to your mind! I love giving visitors an inside scoop on the hidden gems of the city, food, history, culture, and entertainment. In my spare time I spend my time playing video games, reading, camping, and traveling. I enjoy discovering new restaurants and hidden areas of Boston, adding new material to my extensive catalog of knowledge about the city.

As a Boston tour guide, I have the added experience of being a world traveler. For many years, I frequently visited Europe, Asia, and Latin America on business. During this time, I also organized tours of the USA, Europe and Asia for my business clients. I now bring this passion, excitement and expertise to the Boston area. By exploring the globe, I was exposed to various cultures, and this unique perspective has taught me what appeals to people when visiting a new part of the country or a new part of the world. My fluency in English and Turkish, and my advanced skills in Spanish and intermediate skills in French, also help me to service a wider range of tourists and business people. I moved to Boston, Massachusetts several years ago, and I now reside in Brookline. I have three children, so I develop my tours to accommodate families with kids, couples, and individuals who want to visit and learn about the rich history and culture of Boston. As a parent, I know that Boston is a great place for higher education, and I have knowledge of the colleges and universities in the area. I customize my tours to suit the needs and preferences of my customers. Whether you want a walking tour, a driving tour, or a little of both, I can create an itinerary that showcases the best of what Boston has to offer. My one day tours are educational and entertaining, and include the history, culture, personalities, architecture and, even the shopping areas of this renowned city. At the end of the tour, you will be happy and satisfied when you realize you've seen so much in just a short time. I am here to share my knowledge of Boston and Cambridge with you, and help you to enjoy your visit so you can explore the must-see parts of this great city. I look forward to meeting you and guiding you around the city, so please send me a message if you have any questions. Thank you for reading.
