Lexington and Concord 3-hour private car tour from BostonA 3-hour private car tour from Boston to Lexington and Concord traces the events of April 19, 1775, when the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired. You travel in a comfortable private vehicle with a licensed guide, making stops at the sites where Paul Revere was captured, where the militia gathered at Buckman Tavern, and where the "shot heard round the world" echoed across Lexington Green. Hotel pickup and drop-off in downtown Boston are included; admission to individual sites is not.Is it for me?The three-hour duration means you're in the car for a full 90 minutes of the tour—choose this if you want the depth of a guided narrative about how the war began, not a quick drive-by of the landmarks. Walking is light and optional at most stops, but Lexington Green and the bridge sites do require you to step out and stand where the events happened.

The flexible itinerary means you can linger at Bunker Hill or Concord depending on what draws you, rather than following a fixed schedule that rushes through every site.
