A great experience with a great guide. Being able to see the actual places that made this ‘Great Experiment’ possible was amazing. Since I taught history, this tour made it all come alive.

Our guide “Coach,” was so knowledgeable! Really brought the story alive for us. He was thoughtful, professional, and answered every question! Loved it.

Coach put together an excellent tour telling the story and giving the inside look at what happened between April 18 and 19 starting the war. He was so knowledgeable and did a great job of handling at least one person on the trip who was pretty obnoxious. The museums were great and the information was delivered with passion and love of the material and area. If you’re super into history and want to go on an unrushed trip, this is the one to take.

This tour goes in depth of the history that took place with Paul Revere and the shots hurt around the world. You get to stand on the actual grounds where this happened and Coach our tour guide was amazing! His detail of what took place made you feel a part of it even though it was 250 years ago. The only thing I would say is I would’ve much rather had a little more time in the museums. But I know there’s only so much time in a day. Thanks for a great tour!

The tour was fantastic. Our guide, "Coach", narrated so much about everything. I learned way more in one day than I can remember from history lessons. The tour is worth all the personalized information. We even went back to a few locations in the Harvard area the next day (pre-planned to be in that area), but now we were armed with info we would have never known.

Coach did a great job with our group. We had a mix of students and adults. He did a good job of explaining the history on everyone’s level. He had a good rapport with the adult and kids. He even gave the kids a “quiz” at the end as promised!

His narration was a deep dive into the first events of the American Revolution and he makes you feel you were a part of it. I learned a great deal. Mini bus was comfortable and the stops were the right locations for the right length of time. Highly recommend for history buffs!
