About this experience
Step into the pages of American history on this private 6.5-hour day trip from Boston to Lexington and Concord—the legendary towns where the American Revolution began. With a passionate local guide and comfortable private transport, you’ll explore battlegrounds, colonial taverns, and historic trails that tell the dramatic story of the nation's birth.
But that’s just the beginning. In the second half of the tour, you’ll shift from muskets to manuscripts as you explore Concord’s literary legacy, visiting the homes, graves, and favorite haunts of great American authors like Louisa May Alcott, Thoreau, and Emerson. It’s a perfectly balanced journey of history, nature, and culture—crafted just for you.
