Our guide, Christian Vanderslice, was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great taste of the area and history was brought to life. All our questions were answered, and we had a very pleasant time. The small, more private tour made asking questions easy and the experience could be more tailored to our interests and abilities. It was the highlight of our trip to Boston.

Our tour guide was Time. He was very accommodating and did let us customize our trip. We were traveling with children and when the day got long and kids were tired, we were able to delete some stops. Tim gave a nice historical narrative as we journeyed to Concord and delivered us to The Orchard House on time for our Alcott home tour which was our primary objective to taking this tour. Avery informative and relaxing trip as Tim took care of all the details.
