This comprehensive exploration of Boston's original neighbourhoods offers a complete retelling of the American Revolution, from Boston's founding to the Declaration of Independence. This tour adopts a holistic approach to both the city and its history. A carefully planned route guides you through 14 iconic landmarks in chronological order, bringing to life the passions, personalities, and psychologies behind world-changing events such as The Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's Midnight Ride, and Battle of Bunker Hill.
This tour avoids large crowds and gimmicky costumes. It combines expert insights with a light-hearted sense of humour and extends beyond just the Freedom Trail. You'll appreciate the charm of the old town while gaining a real sense of the beautiful and thriving modern city.
Sites visited include (but are not limited to) City Hall, Granary Bury Ground, Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Old North Church, USS Constitution, King's Chapel, Old City Hall, the Paul Revere House, and the Bunker Hill Monument.
There's a built-in break at Quincy Market and an optional visit to "The Cradle of Liberty" Faneuil Hall (when open to the public).
This tour was awarded Boston Magazine's Best Historical Tour in 2022.
