Concord with Niam

Marilyn_K, Sep 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.

Storyteller Extraordinaire!

Historic Boston Tour

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.

Concord tour - it’s historical and literary significance.

Our tour guide was Time. He was very accommodating and did let us customize our trip. We were traveling with children and when the day got long and kids were tired, we were able to delete some stops. Tim gave a nice historical narrative as we journeyed to Concord and delivered us to The Orchard House on time for our Alcott home tour which was our primary objective to taking this tour. Avery informative and relaxing trip as Tim took care of all the details.

FUN!

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Martin, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! I'm a history buff so a lot of the sites had been on my list to see for a while. He provides you with so much information that unfamiliar guests can learn a lot! Given the duration of this tour (5 hours!) it was nice to spend it with Martin, whom we cannot rave enough about. I'd highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hello Norma, It's wonderful to know this was such a great experience! Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your kind comments about Martin. He's a tremendously knowledgeable guide, and loves to share this with our visitors. We would love to have you join us again in future trips, if you'll have us. Our best wishes to you, Travel Curious Team
