Ever since I was a kid I have been on trips to do the Freedom Trail. It will take you an entire day since it spans the entire city and even more if you want to reach some of the battle grounds in Lexington and Concord. The trail as they call it, is a painted red line seen all over... more

We (4 adults) did the Freedom Trail Tour in December. It was cold, but we bundled up! We booked online at http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/index.html We picked up our tickets at the Boston Common Visitor Center and met our guide just outside. The tour lasted about 2 hours and ended at Faneuil Hall. The tour was well worth doing! We had seen the... more

First, stop at the Visitor Center in the Boston Commons. They'll charge you $2 for a map, which is better than the one offered online as it details the historical signifigance of each stop. They even have guided tours if you want (we didn't). The walk is fun and should take around 3-4 hours, more if you stop to shop... more

This was a great tour. A must do. We debated whether to do the guided tour or download the MP3. We wanted to do it at our own pace, so we used the MP3. It had useful information and facts, but it was not user friendly. My husband is a major computer geek and even he had problems. Sometimes the... more

On Tues, July 17 my sister and I forgot the map for the Freedom Trail we picked up for free at the Prudential Center so ended up paying the two bucks for one at the visitor’s center. We decided to pass on the guided or audio tour and walked it ourselves. If you do not go into any of the... more

We walked the tour on a beautiful sunny day in July. My husband is British and I, American, born just outside of Boston. We downloaded the tour onto our MP3 Players. We chose to do this instead of a guided tour because we wanted the flexibility to reflect, pause and muse as we went along. I am thankful we did... more

My wife and I took our six year old son to Boston recently, and we decided at the last minute to do the Freedom Walk with a guide. It was the best decision we made on our whole trip. I was concerned that my son would get tired and bored on our walk, but our guide ("Bully" Jim Denton) did... more

If you're in Boston, take the time and see the historical sites; which includes the burying grounds. See the museums first, then go back and see the sites like the Boston Commons and burying sites. Take water with you as you walk. Kids can get bored easily walking, so stop off periodically and get them something to drink or snack... more

what a wonderful tour! i definitely recommend the guided tour-worth every penny! yes, you feel a little elementary following a costumed guide at first and yes, the jokes (that you realize she/he has told over 5,000 times in the past year) are corny but there is so much interesting information. of course its history but its not textbook names &... more

I went to Boston last week and the first thing my friend and I did was take a guided freedom tour. We loved it and found the guide (a young grad student) very informative, funny and helpful in the end to give suggestions. Besides my friend and I, on a Tuesday afternoon tour there was one other couple, so it... more
