Step by Step
Relive the beginning of the American Revolution with this tour from Boston to Lexington and Concord, two historic towns that witnessed the first armed clashes between the colonies and British troops in 1775.
The tour begins with a transfer from Boston to Lexington, where your guide will explain the events that took place on the Lexington Battle Green, site of the first shot fired in the war. Next, you'll enter Minuteman National Historical Park, where you'll follow in the footsteps of the patriots who defended their land against the British advance.
The tour continues to Concord, where you will visit the North Bridge, the scene of the famous colonial militia counter-attack. In addition, your guide will tell you about life in the colonies, the key figures of the Revolution and how these events marked the birth of America.
The itinerary also includes stops at historic homes associated with figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott to provide a broader cultural perspective of the region.
The entire tour is guided by a history expert who will help you understand the importance of each place and what happened there, with clear explanations that are accessible even to those unfamiliar with American history.
