USA · BOSTON FREEDOM TRAIL AND HISTORY
9 tours
The red line runs two and a half miles through sixteen sites, and a guide is the difference between a walk and a story. Below are the Freedom Trail tours and the Fenway ballpark visits, with distances, running times and which ones suit slower walkers.
Boston’s Freedom Trail in 2.5 hours, 16 landmarks, historian-led small group, focused on 1760-1775, ends at Copp’s Hill, $35.10.
“Really great experience! Loved our guide, very knowledgeable and loved learning about all the history.”
Guided Fenway Park tours in Boston with Green Monster views, Pesky's Pole, and optional pre-game field access.
“The tour was incredible. I lucked out and ended being the only one on the tour so I got my own personal tour of Fenway. Joe was a great guide and was great to chat to along the tour. 11/10 and amazing value for money.”
A guided 1-hour Fenway Park tour with Living Museum access, Green Monster views, and Red Sox legends and World Series stories.
“Totally worth time and cost. We learned about the sox, Boston, Baseball and Fenway. We sat on the green monster and wanted to sit there the next day to watch a game but my husband is a “don’t change the schedule guy”. If I had to criticize I would want more Boston accents! I live in the south and that accent just makes me happy hearing that familiarity is soothing.”
A costumed guide leads an easy 1.2-mile Freedom Trail walk from Boston Common area toward Faneuil Hall, for $26. About 1h45.
“Amazing. We had John Hancock 😀 as our tour group guide. What a lovely man. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. The tour was longer than expected but "John" never looked at his watch once. Being the only Brit on the tour, i did get picked on for a lot of it, but all in good humour. We had a lovely group. He was very patient with the slow walkers making sure we all got across the quite busy roads safely. Would highly recommend a tour with "John".”
Guided ride through Boston Harbor on restored tea ships, with a hands-on tea toss plus museum stops and a rare original tea chest.
“The museum was fun and educational. The use of multimedia use is masterfully completed. I recommend!”
Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum interactive tour with role-play, tea tossing, ship replicas, 3D holograms, and a wraparound theater show.
“The actors elevated the experience making the tour more interactive and fun whilst providing the history. The script was captivating and informative and engaged the audience attention. Initially I was hesitant of the tour but I’m so glad we went. It tied in really well with the Freedom Trail walking tour from our previous day. Highly recommend.”
Walk Boston’s North End for bread, pizza, and deli classics, then follow the Freedom Trail through Revolution sites to the Public Garden.
“Nabil was an outstanding g your guide - funny, knowledgeable and super friendly. Will def do another tour in the future.”
Freedom Trail in 2.5 hours with a live guide, all 16 official sites, Revolution stories, Golden Dome and Old North lantern tales, $31.
“Matthew was great! I liked the way the tour was done.”
Walk the iconic Freedom Trail in a small group for 150 minutes, hitting all 16 landmarks and ending in the North End with Charlestown views.
“I walked with Nick, an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Why? Disclaimer alert: I’m a British history teacher of American history and the Revolutionary period. He presented the facts in a balanced way allowing the listener to draw their own conclusions rather than just follow the lazy propaganda of the period. My highlight was explaining the Old State House, site of the Boston ‘massacre’ (if you can call it that - it was self-defence that got out of hand imo!). Nick uncovered plenty of the myths and put things in context - which is what we want from our historical tour guides.”
