My husband and I only had a very short time to spend in Lexington before we flew home, so we opted to do the tour. Mary was our guide, and she was fabulous. We learned so much about the history of the town and really got a sense for what it would have been like to be there. We’d definitely recommend!

We learned lots of interesting info about Lexington Green and the surrounding areas and about the battle.

The two guides made the start of the revolution come alive. It was so interestingly presented that we continued to Concord and at the Old North Bridge received the full complete picture. This is how history should be presented.
