This is a great way to see more of the historical sites in a day. Also, being in a mini van, it is like a private tour.

Put Revolutionary War into perspective with locations followed by detailed explanations of circumstances.

We enjoyed every minute of our day. Peter was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He even made us reservations for lunch! I highly recommend this tour.

TraciThomas_B

Great tour. Highly recommend. Peter is a subject matter expert and very personable. Comfortable ride. Learned more than we expected.

Mary_R

Great guide. So knowledgeable. Lunch reservation was outstanding. Took us to places we probably wouldn’t have visited.

Lynne_D

Peter was an excellent guide! From time of booking all the way to being dropped off Peter was warm, friendly, funny, informative and a wonderful guide. The three of us (two adults and one history loving 14 year old) came away from the tour with a great understanding of the history in and around Boston. We did this at the start of our stay in Boston and gave us our bearings for the days to come. Highly recommend for anyone wanting and enjoyable day learning much more than you could on your own.

This was our favorite part of our trip. Peter was a great guide and really brought history to life for our kids. It gave us a great overview of the city and surrounding area. We were able to see and learn about so much in the 1 day that we never could have done on our own. I'd highly recommend this to anyone and would recommend doing it on your first day in Boston. We had kids ranging in age from 10-14 and they all agreed it was their favorite thing we did in Boston! Thanks Peter!

Our day tour of Revolutionary Boston, Lexington, and Concord was excellent with Peter Brennan. He was very knowledgeable about the historical events and key locations of this era and also provided interesting lesser known facts about Boston and the area in general. He had a very comfortable way about him and presented information in an understandable and at times entertaining way. I would highly recommend Steve Brennan for the this full day! (6 hours is plenty of time to cover what we wanted to do and see.).

Peter gave us a complete synopsis of what the patriots were facing in the beginning and then what it turned into after the events in Boston, Lexington and Concord. In addition, we saw other parts of Boston that were on my bucket list. Peter has a love of history, is quite eloquent and extremely personable which made the travel back in time come alive in a mini van!

Do NOT miss this opportunity to learn as much as you did in American History! Christian was an incredible guide - we never felt rushed and had such a lovely time. He wove the story of the Revolution exceedingly well. There were six of us in the van and we were very comfortable. Stopped for a Just an AMAZING experience - worth every penny!
