Traveler Reviews

Peter was great at putting all we saw into context. He knowledge is very through and his personality is very warm and friendly. We learned a great deal and saw a great deal. Peter adjusted a bit to our desires for the schedule.

I cannot recommend Peter Brennan and this tour more highly. Peter is a gifted guide and made our entire day easy, informative and fun. He communicated well before the tour, picked us up at our accommodations precisely on time, and we were in his capable hands until drop-off. Peter connected well with us and our teenage sons who were captivated the whole trip. This is an excellent overview of the sites and events leading up to the start of the revolutionary war and allows you to determine places you may wish to return to later for more exploration. Peter has a 'no-problem' attitude that made the whole day very relaxing. Thank you, Peter!
