The most informative tour guide one could hope for!

We had two wonderful days with Martin showing us Boston one day, then the surrounding areas of Cambridge, Lexington and Concord the next tour. He has an amazing wealth of knowledge and historical stories and it is also entertaining and fun to listen to his true tales of historical and modern lore! He and his gracious wife Joan were very flexible and more that happy to customize our tour. Martin also had very great recommendations for dinner reservations. A visit to Boston would be very incomplete without at least one tour with Martin. Very cool dude!
Amazing private tour of Boston!

Wow! This is the way to see Boston! I have visited Boston for work numerous times, but never “saw the city”. Martin picked us up at our hotel and spent 3 hours showing us this beautiful city! He also shared the history of each area we visited. Lastly, he made our dinner reservations at Quattro where we enjoyed a delicious Italian meal. This is the tour to take if you want to really see the city! You won’t be disappointed as Martin is the best!
Great guide

Two Amazing Days

In our recent trip to Boston we were fortunate to hire Martin McEntee for a two day private tour. First Martin has a delightful Irish accent which made you feel you are in Boston. Martin is an excellent tour guide providing historical and fun facts at each location we visited. Our visit to Lexington and Concord fulfilled a bucket list item and he made it especially great with his historical commentary. The two days with Martin made our trip to Boston a success. He also suggested restaurants and even made a reservation for us at a great Italian restaurant. (Trailblazer Tours Boston)
An amazing experience!!

Our family of four was fortunate enough to book a private tour of Salem, Gloucester, Marblehead, Rockport and Manchester by the Sea with Martin. He was incredibly kind and thoughtful, giving us all the info we desired while allowing us the luxury of soaking in the incredible beauty of the area. He customized our tour time in locations based on our preferences as well. He even went above and beyond to secure us a table for lunch with a breathtaking view of the sea. This tour is highly recommended and we look forward to visiting again and booking another tour with Martin!
Boston Private Tour

My wife and i are lifelong residents of the Boston area. We live away from the city now and thought a quick trip to Boston would allow us to visit the many sights we grew up with as well as seeing some of the new ' city sights". We hadn't been to the seaport or the"new" southie for example.
After reviewing various tour options we selected Trailblazer Tours Boston -Private Tour Guides . The selection proved to be perfect. The tour guide Martin was personable, informative with many insights into historical and contemporary locations within the city. His knowledge offered fresh perspectives to our beloved Boston.
We highly recommend Martin as a guide .
