We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to Lexington and Concord. Martin was a fantastic guide who did a great job engaging our kids. We had a brief tour of Beacon Hill on our way out of town. The amount of time in Lexington and Concord was perfect with a lot of great information shared. We highly recommend this tour.
Martin was our driver and guide. He was the best! He was on time. He was filled with historical information as we traveled through Boston and then headed to Lexington and Concord. The day went so well. We would highly recommend using this company.
This tour is mostly by car, but was a great introduction to the start of the revolutionary war.
Martin was a wonderful tour guide with many stories to share. We enjoyed our tour completely. Recommend Martin and this tour service.
Martin was excellent! He provided us the best tour of our trip.
So much better than doing it on your own! We learned so many interesting things! Absolutely a must do! And Martin, our guide, was so personable and so knowledgeable! He was the best.
We absolutely loved our tour of Lexington and Concord with Martin, the best tour guide in New England! He picked us up from our hotel right on time in a clean, new minivan. He gave us a brief photo review of the land-filling that created the Back Bay (as our hotel was there). He then gave us a drive-through bonus tour of a bit of MIT and Harvard on the way to Lexington. We were able to briefly walk the long corridor of MIT and see the unbelievable freshman dining hall at Harvard. Both on the road and when out of the van in Lexington and Corcord, Martin demonstrated a captivating style of history telling that really intrigued the listener. He is clearly passionate about the details of the events of April 19, 1775. I was easily able to visualize the incredible drama that unfolded in these towns on that day. Because of this, standing on Lexington green was very moving for me. Near the end of our tour, he gave us a bonus drive-by of Bunker Hill and provided us with some additional history. He then walked us in to the Warren Tavern, so to insure that we found a great seat. This was my fifth or sixth trip to Boston, and can say without hesitation that this or any of Martin’s company’s tours will stand above the rest (we also took the full-day private tour of Salem and the coast with Martin)!
Martin was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and helped make our vacation even more enjoyable. So glad we experienced this adventure.
Christian is the absolute best tour guide. He is so knowledgeable and really enjoys sharing that with his clients. You are in great hands with him.
The tour was wonderful. We learned a lot from our tour guide about Boston and the history of the start of the Revolutionary War and it exceeded our recommendations. We highly recommend this tour.
