Fun adventure
Erin_P, Nov 2023
Did this tour with my two teenage girls and we had a great time. Fun adventure for a girls weekend. With the visitor center at the North Bridge closed, it was nice to have some narrative.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Erin, I'm thrilled you and your teenage girls had a great time on the Battle of Lexington and Concord Audio Tour! It's lovely that the tour added an engaging narrative to your girls' weekend adventure. If you're looking for more fun and educational trips, don’t forget to check out my Action+ Tour Bundle for over 100 more self-guided adventures.
Didn’t work for me ...
Joyce_V, Oct 2023
I paid for this, downloaded the app, got myself to the center of Concord, attempted to open the tour, and after multiple tries, gave up. I'll be requesting a refund next. If I can get a response.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with my Battle of Lexington and Concord Audio Tour, Joyce. It seems there might have been a misunderstanding. While you download the app, it's essential to remember that you also need to download the specific tour content within the app. The provided password is meant to grant access to the tour content. However, our product never expires, so you can still enjoy the fascinating stories at home or anywhere you prefer. If you'd still like a refund because you couldn't use the tour, I understand entirely, and I'll happily process it for you. Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
Don't bother!
JEANNE_J, Aug 2023
Very disappointing as we didn't receive information on the next destination and were left looking at pictures and trying to figure out where the next stop was.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Jeanne, I'm sorry you faced challenges using my Battle of Lexington and Concord Audio Tour. If you let me know where exactly you encountered the problem, I can address it promptly. Although the tour includes all the necessary directions, unexpected glitches sometimes occur. I want to remind you that your purchased product is indefinitely valid. You can revisit the tour on a future trip or listen to it from home. If you want a different experience, please let me know, and I would be happy to exchange it for another tour offering.
Good Auto Tour
Kathy_J, Jul 2023
We enjoyed the narrated historical references. A couple of the stops were hard to locate by car, as we seemed to have to backtrack to find them. It's been several weeks since we took the tour, but overall, I would recommend it as a low cost basic overview of the highlights of Concord/Lexington.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed my self-guided tour of Concord/Lexington and found the historical references informative and the cost reasonable. I apologize for any difficulty you may have experienced in finding certain stops by car. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I would be grateful if you could provide me with more details about the locations that gave you trouble so that I can work on improving them in the future. Thank you for recommending my tour, and I hope you had a memorable time exploring Concord and Lexington!
Fun and interesting tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you Robert! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your self-guided tour of Lexington and were able to take your time exploring. If you're planning on traveling more, you might want to check out my Action+ Tour Bundle, which includes all of my self-guided tours throughout the country.
Good tour

This tour should start at the end. You pass everything to get to the starting point and even the rangers suggest it should start sooner
Response from Host, Nov 2022
I didn't understand your review or what you actually wanted to say. This is a self-guided driving audio tour for the battle of Lexington and Concord. Please get in touch with us so that we can resolve the actual issue. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

Getting lost. Not totally the app’s fault but it could have been better. The content was very interesting so once we were on track it was good.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Glad you enjoyed the tour once back on track! Where did you get lost? I can clarify my route/instructions at that point — please send me an email or reach out via the app! Also more than happy to exchange this tour for any other since your experience wasn’t totally smooth.
Lexington and concord
Laurie_C, May 2022
Good. The timing wasn’t perfect so it was a little confusing at times Teenager was more bored. Adults enjoyed it
Response from Host, May 2022
Thanks for the review! I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit to Lexington, and I’d love to add more content that would keep the teenagers interested too—were there some stories they liked better than others? Please feel free to let me know via support@actiontourguide.com! I also have more self-guided tours across the country which I hope you get to try out on your next trip.
