Best tour ever and I'm an old guy so I should know

caesar1957, May 2026

My bride and I brought our four granddaughters aged 10 through 17 to Boston for some revolutionary war history. We decided to take this side trip to Concord and Lexington, but the private car with Tour Guide Boston.Nabil. He was right on time in a brand new minivan. Nabil was so knowledgeable and entertaining. My granddaughters were over the moon about the whole experience. We saw everything in Concord in Lexington, including the Orchard house, the old Northbridge, and many other sites. Nabil knew some out-of-the-way places and facts that really added to our experience. He was very generous with his time and we actually got back a bit late because we looked at some extra things and took extra time. My bride of 47 years and I have been on many tours and this was the best one we've ever taken. This was 1000% better than renting a car and trying to find these places on your own. Totally worth the fees we paid.

Concord with Niam

Marilyn_K, Sept 2025

Niam was an excellent tour guide. He was very accommodating in tailoring the tour to our interests. Niam is very knowledgeable about Concord and Boston. He made our experience well worthwhile and gave us some great ideas on what to do with our remaining days in Boston. I highly recommend taking a tour from him.

Historic Boston Tour

Susann_S, Sept 2023

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.
