Free! Easy to Follow Red Line through Boston's Old North End takes you past the Old North Church and all the way to Bunker Hill. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes--it's about 3+ miles. Be sure to stop at the Visitor's Information Center at the Boston Commons for a free map. Guided tours with speakers in historic costume also available.... more

I am a history teacher and I absolutely loved the Freedom Trail. I spent an entire day and a half on the trail and stopped at every site plus some shopping and a lot of eating on the way. I downloaded the Freedom Trail mp3 download for $15.00 from the Freedom Trail's official website and I was not disappointed. I... more

We wanted to squeeze some freedom trail time into a few hours on a crowded saturday and ended up with costume historic tour with James Otis character of the BTC (bostontowncrier.com) group. His 90 min tour was inexpensive, very intriguing. He was rich in knowledge, colorful stories. Too long a walk for our 7 year old (but would have been... more

It's a great idea, and the city should be commended for the idea of marking and maintaining a route to most of the city's most historic spots. The guided tours are somewhat lame.

If you are in Boston, this is a must-see, without a doubt. It will be best for history buffs, but as a non-history buff even I was able to appreciate it all. Be prepared for this to take up the whole day (and make sure you have your walking shoes on - it's quite the hike once you add in... more

Make certain that you are in shape for this walk because if you plan in advance and make stops at every highlight you could easily walk 5 miles for the day. We began parking in the lower level of the Boston Commons and saw every sight that is listed plus many others then ending past sunset retrieving our car. It... more

My husband and I went to Boston a few weeks ago. The first thing I wanted to do was the Freedom Trail. What an amazing experience! Going to all this historical places was wonderful. We didn't take a guided tour. We did it by ourselves at our own pace. The first day we started at North End then walked up... more

I had such a fun time! As a photographer in a small group of friends (ages ranging from mid 40s to teens) we all enjoyed the Freedom Trail. Tons to see, very photogenic, etc. We went during Mid October, which seemed to be the perfect time of year to go. more
