Our guide, Nabil, was amazing. He spent over 6 hours showing us Cambridge, Lexington and Concord. We learned so much about the Revolutionary War. I highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I have toured the world and have had the pleasure to meet many terrific people as tour guides. But all fade in comparison to our new friend, Nabile. Friendly way beyond what the typical tour guide, even the great ones, need to be. Intelligent with a vast knowledge of his topics and extremely thought provoking. So dedicated to show his clients not just the scheduled tour sites but also throw in places off the tourist path that few would see. And his passion for the history of Revolutionary War is so visible that the events are magnified to historic reality as he relates them. Usually, a guide will speed through places so as to stay on schedule. Nabile covered all the tour sites to our satisfaction and then asked us what else we would like to see, and recommended things that he thought we would be interested in. He just kept going which delighted us to no end. He went well past his scheduled time to show us so many things of wonder in the Boston area. No exaggeration...he is the best guide I have ever experienced. Do yourself a huge favor, seek him out if you get the opportunity.

We booked the private 5 hour day tour of Lexington & Concord on our last day in New England and I have to say, it was the best day of our 10 day trip! We were two Senior couples and Nabil was our private guide and he was more than terrific, he was passionate about the history of the American revolution and all of Boston, and we learned so much! He wanted to make sure we saw all that we could see and he made several stops that were not even listed on the tour. He would even go and get his van to pick us up (down the road) to minimize our walks. He was very respectful, professional and knowledgeable of the history of the area. Our tour went two hours over and Nabil even offered to drop us off at the Union Oyster House restaurant so we could have dinner since we toured through our lunch break because we very having so much fun! Super highly recommend!

Our tour guide/new friend, Nabil, was fantastic. This was a wonderful tour. Can’t recommend enough. Saw so many hidden gems and “quaint” places. And we covered a very important part of American history in great depth. Pick this tour for sure
