Fun and informative tour!

Stephen_L, Nov 2023

Richard's a great tour guide and had a lot of fun stories. I did the tour with one other person and we were coincidentally the only people on the tour, so he was really flexible with us with what time we'd get lunch, wanting to see specific places not on the agenda, etc. I'm guessing this won't be the case if there are multiple groups since you can't please everybody, will probably stick close to the agenda. But it's still really interesting to see the historic sites, he's a wealth of knowledge and also gives random information on things like when we passed a ritzy part of town, this is where Tom Brady used to live, etc.

Wonder trip with “Coach”.

Steven_P, Oct 2023

“Coach” was an excellent guide and driver. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. I learned a lot more than I previously did from precious visits.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your nice comments. We try to balance accurate information about the past with a touch of humor.

Well balanced historical account

Clifford_H, Oct 2023

Coach (our guide) brought the story to lure and shared details along the entire trail from Boston to Concord. The story was well told and explained both the English and Colonist side very well and evenly. Truly a delight!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for your review. Our guides work to keep a balance between both sides of the Revolution while adding a bit of fun our tours as well.

Filled with history

Sandra_H, Oct 2023

Liked the recounting of the Lexington battle. Captain, our tour guide, was personable and knowledgeable. While driving, if there was no history in the area, he filled in with other interesting facts about the area. The only thing missing was being able to actually go inside some of the open exhibits/houses etc. Loved the small group as we could go where buses cannot

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for your review. Captain has 20 years of tour experience (overall our guides average out to 15 years); and having driven many 55 passenger tour buses over the years, I realized that many historic sites are inaccessible to big vehicles. In this case "smaller is better".

Great ride

Keith_S, Oct 2023

Great descriptions by driver recounting the events. Beautiful scenery and comfortable trip. Enjoyed the stops and walking trips

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for your nice review. We try to balance historic information with stops that allow you to "walk in the footsteps" of history.

Fantastic trip!

Leon_M, Oct 2023

Richard, our guide, is super knowledgeable, and delivered the information in a fun and entertaining way

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for your review. We try to mix a bit of fun and entrainment in with history to make it more engaging, as you have noted!

Highly recommend

Angie_G, Sep 2023

What a great tour! I have been a couple of times before but learned things I didn’t know before. Coach was a fantastic guide!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for your review of our Lexington and Concord Tour. I'll let Coach know that you had a great experience. Richard

The tour

Randolph_N, Aug 2023

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your review. We strive for historical accuracy in presenting key events so important to the development of our democracy.

Good Historical Walk of Opening Shots of the Revolutionary War in Lexington and Concord

ANTONIO_G, Aug 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable! The Concord North Bridge was the most interesting point, as was the Battle Green in Lexington . Great historical review of the opening shots of the revolutionary war in context!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your nice review of our tour of Lexington and Concord.

Don't miss this!

Chris_M, Jul 2023

This is a great small tour option. Only 12 of us in a minibus. We were picked up within a short walk of our hotel. Our tour guide was Coach. One of best tour guides I've ever encountered. Knowledgeable, able to answer questions, great personality! He built in time for a lunch stop at a sandwich shop in Lexington, which was appreciated! I was amazed how he can recall names, dates, locations with relative ease. He definitely has great people skills and a love of history. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your nice review and compliments to our tour guide!

INCREDIBLE!

Mayra_A, Jun 2023

The history behind April l8, 1775. The North Bridge and the monuments were incredible. I was impressed! A great tour guide by Mr. O’ Brien. I will recommend this tour for students in middle school. This information will benefit their knowledge for history courses in high school or college.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your nice review. I agree that seeing historic sites imparts a deeper understanding and appareciation of history compared to what one can derive relying only on books and videos.
