Q&A

Q: Does this experience include lunch, or do we need to budget extra for that?

A: No, lunch isn't included in the experience. You'll have some free time in Concord to grab a bite at local spots, so it's good to bring some extra cash for that. There are some great restaurants around, like the Concord Diner! Just plan for about $15-$30 per person depending on where you go.

Q: What's the age range for this trip? Is it suitable for younger kids?

A: This trip can be suitable for kids! It's a mix of walking and storytelling, so as long as they're curious and can handle a bit of walking (about 2-3 miles), they should enjoy it. Just keep an eye on younger ones during historical talks, since they can get a bit long for little ones. Might be good for ages 8 and up!

Q: Can we reschedule if the weather is bad? How does that work?

A: Absolutely! If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the provider will work with you to reschedule for a different date. Just make sure to contact them as soon as you know you need to change plans. Safety and enjoyment are their top priorities!

Just did the Lexington and Concord trip—so cool!

I just got back from the Private Day Trip to Lexington and Concord from Boston, and it was AMAZING! The stories our guide shared about the Revolution were both funny and eye-opening. Standing at the Old North Bridge and hearing about the Minutemen felt surreal. Plus, we had a delicious lunch in Concord! The Orchard House tour was a nice touch, especially for any Little Women fans. Highly recommend this experience as a gift or for yourself!

Thinking of getting this trip for my parents—thoughts?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting my parents the Private Day Trip to Lexington and Concord. They love history but don't do well with a lot of walking. Is the activity manageable? What do you think about the transportation? Any tips?
