The tour was nice, not sure I couldn’t have gotten the same out of it if I did the self guided tour. We had Drew, he was good but seemed a little nervous. Then found out he hadn’t been doing it long. Could have added some more “little known” facts but that is just a personal preference in my part

I booked a private tour for our family, our youngest daughter was studying the Revolutionary War this year in elementary school. But, everyone in our family learned something. The guide was knowledgeable, kind, and engaged everyone. This tour is affordable, significantly less than the competitors (and it is awesome). Guides live in the area and our guide was an excellent storyteller. We started our day here in Lexington and finished our day in Concord. Seriously, do not miss this great tour!
