★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,450 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $35Our pick

Walk Boston’s full Freedom Trail with a historian guide, from Boston Common to Copp’s Hill, in a small group of no more than 16.

“Our tour was supposed to start at 11:00 am but was delayed. Apparently the original tour guide didn’t make it to work that day. However, it was worth the delay because the replacement guide was the bomb! She knew sooo much history and details, our 2.5 hour tour was over before we knew it. Such a great experience and definitely a recommended tour.”

Would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about Boston’s history, while exploring the freedom trail.”

Boston Freedom Trail History Pub Crawl Small-Group Tour

8.Boston Freedom Trail History Pub Crawl Small-Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 996 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $60

Pair Boston’s Revolution-era stories with four nearby pubs on a lively, low-walking Freedom Trail crawl led by a local guide.

“The description of the tour was, “The Freedom Trail with stops of a couple of historic pubs along the way.” You don’t see the historic part of the pub because we were led into a separate room with no character. The Freedom Trail is completely absent from the tour. The pubs were all next to one another. I really disappointed my family. Fortunately, we have time to walk the Freedom Trail ourselves today. The tour guide could not have peppered her talks with more expletives and meaningless antidotes about our history if she tried. I still gave her a good tip. Perhaps she was not trained, so she could write…”
