Revolutionary War Boston Lexington and Concord Tour

This private car tour is a special edition Rev War 250 tour. We've combined a few lesser known, yet hugely significant Revolutionary War sites in Boston, with the main events in the towns of Lexington and Concord in to a half day tour. Starting in Boston we'll take you to sites where very few tours go and give context to events leading up to the outbreak of the war. Then onto Lexington and Concord to see the towns where the "shot heard round the world" was fired. We'll take the same route as Paul Revere, stopping at the most significant sites along the way giving a detailed account of events of April 1775. The itinerary gives the list of sites we'll visit, timings are flexible and the 4 hour tour time includes travel to and from Concord. This tour is perfect for those groups who have limited time available in Boston or groups who have different degrees of interest in the history of that time.
