If you are a history buff like me, you'll like this place. Very friendly tour guides,they knew everything about the house. The house is very old. We started the tour downstairs and finished upstairs. Leave your camera in your bag though. You are allow to take pictures of the outside part of the house, but not the inside. It was... More

I went last year on a vacation to Boston and this was one of the places we stopped in to see as a part of our Go Boston pass. We took the train and walked to get there, it was interesting to see the building and learn some of the historical facts of the location. We had a pretty good... More

My husband and I went there and today 4/30/12 and we weren't too happy due to the fact that 1 we couldn't take pictures and 2 about 85% of the things in the house didn't even belong to Paul. Some of.the things were just borrowed even though it's from that time it still didn't belong to him. It.may have only... More

Well worth seeing for the historical connection. The contents are not the most compelling, but sufficiently interesting to warrant paying out the mosest entry fee - $3.50 per adult I think. Some interesting exhibits including furniture from the Revere family, but maybe not the most informative of tours. More

This was our last stop on the Freedom Trail and by this time our legs were tired. So this was a nice treat to a great adventure following the Freedom Trail. Its a small house so it does not take long to tour the whole house. So cool to see a historic icon's home in person. Definitely see this in... More

How can you not stop here in the north part of Boston? For a mominal fee you get to visit the home of a very famous and historical American patriot. Then hang around In Little Italy for the food and the atmosphere. More

We stopped in here on the Freedom walk. It was disappointing. It was very small and it took us about 15 minutes to tour it. We had been to Mystic earlier in the week and it didn't compare well to what we'd seen in Mystic. If you're in the area, it's probably worth stopping in but it's not worth a... More

While admission was only $3.50, was very disappointing. Saw only about 3 rooms, seemed a dollar a room. Did not garner enough historical information from the staff placed in those rooms to validate the cost of admission. Would advise to visit other historical sites in Boston, like the Old North Church, which has free admission over visiting this site. Very... More
