Step-On Tours

What is a Step-On Tour? 

We sometimes call these “Ride-Along” Tours, as our company does not provide vehicles. We DO provide guides to narrate your ride in YOUR vehicle, whether that’s a black car SUV, your rental car, a chartered boat cruise, or a tour bus or trolley. We are happy to provide suggestions on where to book those vehicles, but don’t have any fleet of our own.

Tours that require a vehicle:

  • Tour of Boston Highlights
    For large tour bus groups, groups with limited time in Boston, and guests with limited mobility, walking tours can’t always be an option. We have paths that go for 2 hours and 3 hours, highlighting Boston’s best sites and neighborhoods including Fenway Park, Back Bay, Copley Square, Beacon Hill, the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market, The North End, MIT, Harvard, Charlestown, and Bunker Hill. 
  • Tour of Lexington and Concord
    This tour is one of our favorite tours in the area, but requires a vehicle. Especially good for fall and spring seasons, the link to details for this tour can be found here 
  • Tours of Boston Harbor and Charles River
    We have a longstanding partnership with the amazing team at Charles Riverboat Company. An excellent way to see Boston from the water is through a narrated chartered boat. These are essentially floating bars equipped with microphones so you can enjoy a cocktail at sunset on the water while learning. Paths from the water include Charles River Innovations, the Charles River Ghost Tour, Boston Harbor Historical Tour, and more. To book our guides for a chartered cruise, you can simply contact Charles Riverboat Company at their website here
  • Day Trip Tours to Salem, Plymouth, Newport, Ogunquit/York, Maine, and Cape Cod
    As these are all niche specialty tours, not all of our guides know how to deliver these tours, and advance notice will be required if we are able to accommodate at all. We will always do our best to try!

If your group has a bus and would like a guide to accompany you, we offer half-day or full-day packages. Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange vehicles
We also offer “Step-On” Tours. This is when our guides hop onto your bus, or into your car, and narrate the ride. We do not own or operate any vehicles, and are a guide service company only, but our guides are the best in the business, and will make your journey special. Our preferred partners for booking vehicles are LTI and Yankee Bus Company, and we are happy to provide contacts if you reach out to us directly. Otherwise, we are happy to hop into the vehicle you’ve already rented or the bus you’ve already booked!
