My wife and I did the freedom trail a few weeks ago while staying in Boston. We did not do a guided tour, instead we opted on taking one of the free booklets that are availible and went to the spots that interested us. We started in the morning and did the first half until quincy market where we stopped... more

A very nice walk - easy to follow the marks in the street and good historic points on the way, like the balcony where they read the declaration of independence, churches, graveyards etc. Well worth it! Pick up a map and information at the information stand before you start. more

I was touring Boston on my own and found the Freedom trail to be a fun little adventure. The places it took me were very interesting sites in history. A very good tour. more

During a recent trip to Boston my husband and I throughly enjoyed the Freedom Trail. While the trial is clearly marked with a red line and is easily done alone, I highly recommend taking one of the many guided walking tours. We took two different tours with Boston By Foot. One was "The Heart of the Freedom Trail" and the... more

Being from out of town, the Freedom Trail was great because it kepy us from getting lost and we were able to see a lot of Boston. There was a lot to see along the way, and not just from a historical aspect. We didn't do any of the guided tours, but we did see a lot of historical monuments,... more

We walked the Freedom Trail a couple of weeks ago. I had been to Boston before but only for 1 day both times so had seen the sights but never walked the tour. However this time I found it to be a fun and informative way to see the sights. It only took us a couple of hours to do... more

My wife and I walked the Freedom Trail last week. It was definitely worth doing. As others have suggested, stroll through Boston Common and The Public Garden before you start the trail. We were lucky and caught a nice day so both were great. You can get a guide if you want. We just picked up a map at the... more

Ever since I was a kid I have been on trips to do the Freedom Trail. It will take you an entire day since it spans the entire city and even more if you want to reach some of the battle grounds in Lexington and Concord. The trail as they call it, is a painted red line seen all over... more

We (4 adults) did the Freedom Trail Tour in December. It was cold, but we bundled up! We booked online at http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/index.html We picked up our tickets at the Boston Common Visitor Center and met our guide just outside. The tour lasted about 2 hours and ended at Faneuil Hall. The tour was well worth doing! We had seen the... more
