Had the good fortune to tour an older family for our faith-based freedom trail tour. Found this wonderful monument to the Boston Massacre on the Boston Common that I have never seen before:

custom tours, Revolutionary War

Hello dear fans of faith-based tours of Boston. So happy to finally see Boston again in this middle of May with a group of Orthodox Christian homeschooling families. It was strange and very exhilarating to be downtown Boston discussing our fair city’s 400 year old existence. This picture below from Granary Burial Ground demonstrates that we even threw in quite a bit of Revolutionary War material, something I very rarely do. Wish I could say there were tons of tour guides to go with the recently unmasked tourists, but alas, it was just yours truly and maybe 2-3 additional walking tours.

Here’s to hoping for a much more fruitful summer for all who come to Boston looking for guidance of all kinds both tourist and spiritual.

Had a small little summer program downtown today, giving them a customized tour near the Public Garden. Always love an excuse to show off my favorite city!

Met some new friends downtown right after our Patriot’s Day and Marathon Monday here in Boston. One of my guests was even a runner in the Boston Marathon! Would love to meet others coming to our great city to describe the story of faith and freedom in this land of the free and home of the brave. Give me a call or text at 315-975-2758, and book your tour today!

Greetings everyone on this 4th anniversary of our tour company. We have had a great fours years together seeing downtown Boston through the eyes of faith. It is with heavy heart that I announce the temporary suspension of our little fledgling company as its only guide and director (me) is moving with my family to upstate New York, land of the Second Great Awakening and the Burned Over District.

motto of Boston

Friend of mine found this etched into a sidewalk in Boston’s financial district. It is the translation of the Latin motto for the city of Boston Sicut Patribus, Sit Deus Nobis, “As God was to our Fathers, so may he be to us.”

Downtown with a group of friends and recent acquaintances before the great Park Street Church steeple. Only a few months left in our summer tours this year as I plan to move soon to another city, so book a tour while supplies last!

Downtown Winter Tour

Had my first ever winter tour downtown with some hearty souls who originally hail from Ethiopia and Eritrea. One plans to pursue monasticism in Texas, so it explains a bit why he is so hearty as to have a walking tour in frigid January.

Anyway, Happy New Year from Boston Pilgrim Tours!

Great to be downtown today giving the first tour of the new season with a great mix of folks from as far away as Texas and as nearby as Worcester, MA. Gave them the John Eliot tour in honor of his Feast Day today.
