So so so so wonderful! - This was a great tour, I am so glad we did it! We (me, my husband, and two sons--13 and 17 years old) were visiting Boston from California and didn't get a rental car, but Lexington and Concord were high on our list of must-see spots. Our tour guide and driver, Nabil, was everything you could ask for: Friendly, knowledgeable, safe, and flexible. We were in communication with Nabil before the trip and he was able to tailor the tour to meet our interests and needs. We were more interested in the historical aspects of the area than the literary ones, and so our tour was focused on that. Nabil knew all the spots to go, not just the well-known sites but the places off the beaten track--literally! Nabil knows so much about the history and the area, and the way he shared the details gave us so much context and insight. We didn't have to worry about getting lost, finding parking, or missing some amazing little gem. The lunch place Nabil recommended was excellent, and of course historic, too! I can't think of any way I would improve this experience. It was the highlight of our trip!

Amazing Private Driving Tour of Lexington and Concord - My boyfriend and I did the Lexington and Concord private driving tour on November 11, 2024 with Nabil. We had spent the prior two days in downtown Boston so we had learned about some of the history of the area and were very excited for this opportunity to learn more about Lexington and Concord. This was an amazing tour and we're very happy that we had Nabil as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. He brought us to several significant sites and pointed things out that we never would've noticed or known about otherwise. I honestly can't imagine visiting Lexington and Concord without this tour. Nabil did a phenomenal job bringing the history to life at each stop. We also learned a lot more about what happened in Lexington and Concord than what we had learned in Boston. He was also very flexible and never made us feel rushed - out of pure coincidence we happened to encounter a high school band and a color guard dressed in revolutionary uniforms at a stop in Lexington for a Veteran's Day parade - we spent a little longer in Lexington to watch the band play and the short parade of vehicles pass by. Nabil assured us that we wouldn't miss out on anything by staying a little longer. At the bridge in Concord, unfortunately the path and the bridge were blocked off for construction, but Nabil knew two different spots from which we could still get good views of the path and the bridge. Again, we never would've known about these spots otherwise. On our way back, close to our Airbnb, Nabil recommended an additional stop at a historic cemetery with an observation tower that we got to climb and see some amazing views of Boston from. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip and we highly recommend using WeVenture to visit Lexington and Concord.

Informative and Fun in Lexington and Concord - Nabil was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a fun day learning about the Revolutionary War, Lexington and Concord. Lots of laughs as well as lots of new information. If you want an alternative to being in the city I highly recommend this tour with Nabil.

A Good Tour - I was not sure what to expect, but it was great. Nabil was an excellent, knowledgeable guide and a safe driver to boot. We did the five hour tour, which was great because 4 hours would not have been enough time for us. We like history. We had eaten breakfast right before starting. I would suggest packing a snack if you think you cannot make it 5 hours without food.

A wonderful time. Saw so much. Learned so much. - I love history and this tour was amazing. But what made it extraordinary was our tour guide Lexie. From the minute we got in the car and through out our ride she told us about Boston, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, architecture….. and her way of telling the history of Lexington and Concord was captivating. One of the best tours and guides we’ve ever had.

Boston Day Tour - We were hosted by LEXIE for the Boston, Concord, Cambridge and Lexington day tour. Having grown up in Boston and being a history buff, LEXIE was the best tour guide, ever! She took us to the nooks and crannies of the area that we, otherwise, would have no knowledge of, including Author Hill in the old Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and seeing the recently-found musket balls at the Minute Men Museum in Concord. We had lots of laughs and great conversation! We will always ask for LEXIE when we come back to visit one of our favortie cities, Boston! She also provided a follow-up email with her recommendations for restaurants and other activities and places of interest. Thank you LEXIE!!! Steve and Melynda Ruckels

Lexington and Concord - We had a delightful day with Lexie! She was very knowledgeable and considerate. History was brought to life. We ended the day far more knowledgeable that we started.

Great Tour - This tour offered great insight into the start of the Revolutionary War - the landscape and the people. In addition, we saw some 19th Century author celebrity homes, communities, and burial grounds. Worth the day trip!

Great Tour and Tour Guide - Not to be “punny”, but this tour was historic! (Sorry, Lexie!) What a wonderful tour! Lexie is one of the most knowledgeable, personable, and friendly tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Very flexible in what we did on the tour. One of our group wanted a lobster roll for lunch and Lexie made it happen. Well worth our day! Thanks!
