History comes alive here, my family and I love to visit Boston. We traveled often from the Big Easy to Beantown visiting all the National Parks. But nothing beats Boston where this country started. Love the Boston Pops on the 4th this is a must visit for anyone who love this country.

I recently went to Boston for the first time and I did everything on the freedom trail. It is an amazing tour. When on this tour, you get to see all of beautiful Boston, MA. It takes you up to the North End and all the way down to the Back Bay. If you can't or don't want to walk the entire way, there is a trolley that goes along the trail. The trail is so easy to follow, you just follow the red line on the road.
After you are done, you will have seen a lot. We did it all in a single day, so rather than a 3 mile hike, it seemed like a 10 mile hike, but it was more than worth it.
Don't forget to finish by climbing to the top of the Bunker Hill Memorial!
The freedom trail is a great workout, leisure walk, or exploration tool. It really takes you along the hot points of Boston and has a lot of rest stops along the way. Think of it as CliffsNotes version of Boston. There is some construction going on around the area as of the time of this review. As a result, there are some unsightly spots along ...
We loved being able to walk and explore at our own pace. It didn't cost very much-buy the informational booklet and a ticket that gets you into all 3 museums along the way-and you're on your way! It's easy to follow with the clearly marked path, and the stops along the way are memorable and worth the trek around the city. You'll ...
A beatiful jaunt through the heart of Boston and the must see areas. Fanueil Hall is a great place to take in a street ahow, shopping, and food.

Jeremiah Poope made my day in Boston
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/22/07
i flew to boston in october with a friend for the day. we decided to take the guided freedom trail tour...our guide was not only very knowledgeable on the history of boston, but he was also a quite hilarious guy who claimed his name was jeremiah poope. he made the tour complete...well worth the price we paid & we learned quite a bit in the 90 min tour.
We spent almost the entire day walking the Freedom Trail. Got to see all the historic sites in Boston (you can't get lost). Buy the map at the beginning $2. Very inexpensive most places are free or very cheap to see.
The trail is a great way to spend a full day in historic Boston. If you like Pubs, Food, History and a fun filled day, you are in luck. This trail has it all.
Dislikes:
Lots of chains have popped up on this historic trail that diminish some of the character and independent feel that make it kind of tacky at times. The good thing ...
