Boston, Lexington and Concord Revolutionary War Car Tour

This private car tour is comprehensive enough for any history buff, but as interesting in other ways for non history nerds. It's a unique combination of the Revolutionary War sites in Boston and Cambridge that you won't have seen. 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, and lesser known sites along the way giving a detailed account of events in April 1775. For those less interested in the details of the battles, there's the option to visit the home of Louisa May Alcott or just take some time to enjoy the pretty main street of Concord. The itinerary gives the list of sites we'll visit, but timings are flexible to let us spend time at the places you're most interested in. We'll also stop for lunch (not included in price of tour) and there's plenty of photo opportunities.
