Boston History and Freedom Trail Private Walking Tour

Highlights Tour

Boston is a magnet for history buffs as well as architecture lovers. Walk the parts of the iconic Freedom Trail and venture past the must-see historic stops in Boston. Visit Faneuil Hall and see where the first cries for Revolution rang out. Learn about some of the “events” that led to the American Revolution – like a tea party and a Boston massacre.

The North End is steeped in colonial history. We can tour where Paul Revere lived as well as the famous Old North Church, which played a very important role in the start of the American Revolution. This area is also well known for its Italian eateries, and there’s nothing like a delicious cappuccino and freshly made cannoli! 

You’ll also get to explore the narrow streets and beautiful architecture of Beacon Hill. This has always been the most sought-after and expensive neighborhood in Boston.
