Concord tour - it’s historical and literary significance.

Carol_B, Oct 2022

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!
