Summary: I contacted Andy last minute and he was able to provide us with an informative and enjoyable tour. He is a wealth of knowledge and made history come alive. He was even able to help with local attraction suggestions. I would sign up for future tour opportunities as they become available.

Summary: As a long time Marblehead resident, I was stunned at how much I learned about our town, our country and the themes that echo through history. The tour was packed with stories that bring our past to life. It will inspire you to go deep and learn even more. If you are interested in getting in touch with the heart of our revolution, this is THE tour to take (also, it’s stunningly beautiful in a way that Salem can’t match)
