Great tour despite the rain. It was so amazing to stand in a place where the world changed! The cemetery was a highlight as well. Great guide!

Knowledgeable tour guide hitting the high points of the Lexington Battle Green and story of the first shots against the colonials by the British

Laurie Pelletier was an excellent tour guide. She knew the accurate history of what actually happened and distinguished it from legend and even explained how the true history was determined to be accurate.
I have toured alone on many sites and the difference is not even close. Having someone to tell all the details of the pre-battle influences, spies, info the colonists had, the strategies they used, and then the actual battle itself and all the people involved by name, and even post battle - talking about how the colonists militia and minutemen attacked the Brits on their way back to Boston relentlessly.
You get none of that by wandering around reading a few plaques. It was great also to be able to ask questions (unlike a recorded audio tour) and clarify issues or get questions answered.
The price was very reasonable so we could afford it. Laurie did great and this was our favorite part of our trip to Boston.

Tour was very well done, but operator insisted we try out new headphones for the tour. These were a disaster and keep running into interference when using. These are such a 90s way of doing thing. I highly recommend you allow people to download and app and use their own headphones/earbuds to follow along. I would gradually phase out the live guides. Let people do the tour at their own pace.

John was a terrific guide and a fountain of information. A beautiful fall day rounded out a perfect day.

Gerry was amazing and the best tour director that we have had. He was not silly, very historical and informative.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a very thorough tour of the area and was very detailed explaining where everything took place. Everyone at the visitor’s center were so nice and helpful. Because of the crowd strike computer update we missed our flight out there and thus missed the original tour date but all the staff were so nice in helping us reschedule and I am so glad we didn’t miss out on this tour. Highly recommend for all the history nerds like me!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable! She did a great job of bringing to life the events of the Lexington battle.

The tour was nice, not sure I couldn’t have gotten the same out of it if I did the self guided tour. We had Drew, he was good but seemed a little nervous. Then found out he hadn’t been doing it long. Could have added some more “little known” facts but that is just a personal preference in my part
