What makes Boston History and Freedom Trail Private Walking Tour a unique experience ?
One of the most popular and well-known neighborhoods in all of Boston, this area is home to the glorious red-brick roads that illustrate the vast history of Boston. Our guide will talk about the development of this area whilst you take in its unique beauty.
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.
The neighborhood of Boston’s North End is not only known for its historic buildings – including Paul Revere’s home and Old North Church – but also its excellent Italian eateries and local cafes carrying locally roasted Beantown coffee.
Built in 1723 and the oldest standing church building in Boston, Old North Church, a stop on your Freedom Trail tour segment, played an important role in the city’s colonial days leading up to the American Revolution.
Originally built as a public market house and assembly room, this landmark has more recently served as a site of significant speeches and houses unique shops, chain stores, food stands, and more.
You’ll be discovering the history of the United States at several locations along this famous trail in Boston with a knowledgeable local guide to bring history to life!
You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. This location, in-fact, a church is where it all began - one night in 1773, when it was the largest building in the city!
You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House, designed and built by famous federalist architect Charles Bulfinch in 1798. From the outside, take in the views of modern Boston, including the skyscrapers of Downtown, the Financial District, and the tallest building in New England: The John Hancock Tower.
Next we’ll pass by the site of the first bookstore in Boston, which has housed the publishers of Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne, and Longfellow - you may have heard of his famous tale: Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.
Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House and site of the Boston Massacre. The Old State House is one of the most iconic buildings in Boston - a Must See - and is also one of the oldest public buildings in the country. Our guide will educate you on its rich history and why it is so important today.
