I live in the 'burbs of Boston. In elementary school we are always taken to either the specific sites on the freedom trail or to walk different portions of it. I have great memories running up and down the steps of the Bunker Hill monument as a kid, and the awe of seeing "Old Ironsides" in the harbor. Nowadays I go into Boston every ...

Well worth the walk. Gives you a chance to see all of Boston, not just what you see from a car window. You get to mingle with the locals, most are very nice. Boston is a very clean city. The walk allows you to see what a big city can do ,when they want to.

I loved the fact that the tour was self paced. We were with our 2 kids and never once did we feel pressured or rushed. I loved the different historical sites. The only thing i was dissappointed about is that when you check online, it tells you that the tour starts at 2 pm. They dont tell you that either you can do the self guidd tour or the one ...

With the use of cell phones individuals in a group can go ahead or lag behind. That is just what my extended family did this 4th of July. It was a wonderful way to spend the 4th - very patriotic. We did the typical stops - a beer at Cheers, shops at Faneuil Hall and a canoli at Mike's Bakery (not to mention the historical stuff). We saw the ...

We took a family guided tour through TheFreedomTrail.com! Ask for Jeremiah, he's fantastic! All of their guides know soooo much and take you back 300 years in time! If you only do one thing in Boston, go to Fenway, if you do two, get a guided tour of the Freedom Trail!

I really enjoyed going to this place because it was interesting to see all of the headstones of the people that lived in Boston back then and believe there were a lot. It was something that reminded me of what it was like to live back then in a place my mom used to live. It is really worth checking out because you really want to caputure historical ...

we stumbled upon this by accident while at the red dragon pub. it was an educational experience that really tugged at my heartstings (especially the concentration camp portion). it was free and good exercise for both the body and the mind. it really made you think while you walked. it was a very eye-opening experience.

this is a must do for anyone visiting the boston area!

If you love history, this place is amazing. I loved the Old South meeting house and Paul Revere's house. It is definately something to see.

I would reccomend the self-guided tour. You can buy a book with explanations of sites and a map for a nominal fee and then move at your own pace. I am a nerd and spent 2 days on the trail. The guided tour appears entertaining, but I have reservations about it as I overheard the guide presenting incorrect information last year. That being said, ...
