Overview

There’s so much more to Boston’s Freedom Trail than just the famous locations highlighted in every brochure and guidebook. Join a local guide to hear the tales and learn about the people that made Boston one of the most important cities in American history! From the perspective of the Bostonians behind the infamous Boston Tea Party to the story of James Otis and his immortal line “No taxation without representation” at Faneuil Hall, you’ll be amazed at what your school history books didn’t tell you. Hear about how an unknown artist influenced the story of the Boston Massacre and discover which of our Founding Fathers attended the very first public school in the country. Your guide will fill you in on accounts of daily life for Revolution-era Bostonians, and what conditions were like for the British soldiers camping on Boston Common. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a surprise local treat, so you’ll have plenty of energy to enjoy your time with us through the stories of the Freedom Trail!

Old State House

Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House. This is where the Declaration of Independence was announced to elated crowds in July 1776 - your guide will paint quite the picture for you of that exciting time in Boston. On the flip side, you’ll also hear about the tragic Boston Massacre that occurred here and what led up to that fateful day.

Old South Meeting House

You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. While at this stop, which was originally a church, your guide will fill you in on all that led up to the infamous event. Learn who said “No taxation without representation!” and how Bostonians planned their act of rebellion in 1773.

Old City Hall

This hall was home to the city council in the 19th and 20th century, as well as the site of the first public school in America. You’ll also marvel at its breathtaking French architecture and be able to snap a photo with the famed Bronze Donkey.

King's Chapel

A short trek through Downtown Crossing and past the Old City Hall takes you to one of the most historic places in the country – King’s Chapel, the first Anglican church in New England. Your guide will teach you about its history and its progression through the centuries. If we're lucky, we could hear the organist practicing on the oldest church organ in the US.

Granary Burying Ground

Originally part of Boston Common, this cemetery dates back to 1660. Along the way, you’ll pass by the final resting spot of famous Revolutionary heroes like John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams.

Massachusetts State House

You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House. You may have heard of the original landowner for this site, John Hancock, and the man who presided over the cornerstone ceremony for the building in 1795, Paul Revere. Your guide will be sure to fill you in on how this building has lasted over the years and continues to be an integral part of the state’s government.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Boston Public Garden

This garden is full of life with residents of modern Boston enjoying it for walks, exercise, fun, or just a peaceful moment. But as you walk through this picturesque park (the first public park in America), you’ll really be able to get a sense of how the land was used by Bostonians (and even British soldiers) throughout the revolution-era and since then as well. Your tour will end here - in the perfect central location for you to continue your day in Boston.
