Tour description
Stroll through the cradle of the American Revolution on a free walking tour of historic Boston. Alongside a local guide, you will follow a portion of the famous Freedom Trail from Boston Common, past the gold-domed State House and the Granary Burying Ground, the final resting place of American patriots, to the Old State House and the Boston Massacre site. Discover Faneuil Hall and the bustling Quincy Market, wander through Paul Revere's Italian-influenced North End, and hear stories of tea parties, revolutionaries, and Irish Boston. Pick up helpful local tips on the best clam chowder, cannoli, and historic taverns. Free to join — just tip your guide what you feel the tour was worth at the end.
