The gentleman giving the tour was very knowledgeable. I learned so many interesting facts from him. It is a great way to get an overview of Boston. Then you can go back to places you want to see more. It was also enjoyable interacting with fellow tourists. The whole experience was very enjoyable.

Most tours of the Freedom Trail are partial tours, skipping sections to save time. This tours will take you from start to finish -- with a focus on the people and events that propelled peaceful Puritans into revolutionaries willing to give their lives to separate themselves from Great Britain. If you want the complete story, including visiting Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution, this is your tour! FAQs! How long is the tour? It takes about four hours. Are there restrooms? Yes, of course. There are four, and we always stop when someone requests a break. What should I carry? A large water! Camera and hat, and be sure to check the forecast and dress accordingly. Adults bring your ID. You may also want to bring a snack to enjoy as you walk. How do we get back to downtown? There are two main ways: walk or take a ferry to Long Wharf. Is this a good tour for children? Kids who are at least 12 years old usually enjoy the tour. The tour is not recommended for younger children.

When touring dates become available, book no other tour, you might cringe at 4 hours, time flies by Mark’s love of Boston and humor. He manages to keep interest with his vast knowledge… excellent tour…!!!
