Awesome tour guide Jeremiah, made our trip to Boston from Australia well worth it!!
NICK ROBBERTS! What can we say, very informative! Would highly recommend anyone taking his tour! When we come back, we will try to book with him for other tours of the area!
Excellent! You see almost all of Boston on this walking tour. We did self guided so we could stop along the way. Be ready to start first thing in the morning. The visitor center had very friendly and helpful staff. Multiple tour options and maps or books for purchase. Keep going to USS Constitution and Bunker Hill. We took an Uber from there back to Boston Harbor.
Underwhelmed. Guide did not visit each location advertised on the Tripadvisor site. Tour went over the designated time as the guide was “too thorough” and long-winded.
Save your money. Buy a guide book and have a self guided tour at your own pace. Allowing yourself to decide where to linger and where to move along quickly.
There’s so many walking tours and guides, you can eavesdrop and pick up some info…since you’ll be in the queue often waiting for these big groups to vacate different interest points.
The route is clearly marked and easy to follow. Accessible by Subway.

We really enjoyed this guided tour! Our tour guide ("Mother Goose" character) was really knowledgeable and knew Boston well, as a true native. The tour would have been much more hollow without the expertise provided by the guide. One major downside, however, is that the tour only goes through half the Freedom Trail, stopping at Faneuil Hall...still was a 90 minute tour, but would have loved having the insights for the rest of the trail. I'd really give this 4.5 stars if I could because of that, but 5 because overall, I want to spread the word that this was worth the expense and very enjoyable!
Fantastic tour! My 12 year old was engaged. The tour guide struck a nice balance between being old-fashioned and not sentimentalizing or glossing over the darker parts of history.
My family and I enjoyed the Freedom Trail Tour. The meeting point is at the information center in the Park. You can purchase tickets there to show your printed copy. We stopped frequently to talk about the early settlement and buildings. It lasted just over an hour and did not end where we began. We also didn’t visit every spot on the freedom trail either.
Our guide was amazing, very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. Cold day, and the wind sliced thru us Texans…but our guide made the trip worth it!
