Boston: Freedom Trail, Bunker Hill, & USS Constitution Tour

Boston: Freedom Trail, Bunker Hill, & USS Constitution Tour

If you are looking for a walking tour that covers the entire Freedom Trail, this is it! This is the most comprehensive tour of the Freedom Trail you will find and includes all stops, including actually visiting Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution. We even add in four or five extra stops that enrich the revolutionary story. The Freedom Trail connects sixteen locations in historic Boston. Each is interesting in its own right, but together, they tell the story of the conflicts that lead to the Colonist’s decision to risk everything they held dear and challenge the greatest military power in the world for the right to govern themselves. Your tour will include a stop at each of the sites to learn its significance in the events that lead to the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the battles of Lexington and Concord, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the subsequent departure of British forces from Boston. The focus is on the people and key events of the Revolution. What really happened, who made it happen, and the outcomes of events like the Tea Party, Boston Massacre, and Battle of Bunker Hill. You'll learn more about familiar names like Adams, Revere and Washington and meet the relatively unknown heroes and heroines like Margaret Kemble Gage, Dr. Joseph Warren and the firebrand lawyer, James Otis. If you’re a secret history nerd or seek an experience that digs deeper than the run-of-the-mill tour, please join us. Group sizes are always small so we can chat, ask questions and enjoy a memorable day!

Mark is a great guide who really knows his history and gets you to all the great sites. This was a really awesome tour and you can tell he really takes pride in his work. We also saw several places not on the freedom trail that offer great historical significance.

Mark was an excellent guide. He took care of us very well. We enjoyed every part of this tour. This tour was very informative. The pace was not too fast and although we walked fairly long it didn't seem long at all. Very interesting! Thanks Mark!

The Freedom Trail tour with guide Mark exceeded our expectations. He recounted fascinating stories of the big names and lesser-known people involved in the Revolution while viewing all the sites along the trail and some important extra ones.

One of the best tours I've been on, hands down. Getting to visit everything on the Freedom Trail and with a clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, I could not ask for more. Cannot recommend more highly.

We loved all the information and history that Coach explained!! The van was brand new that was wonderful. Coach really knew his history . We thoroughly enjoyed it!! Ash’s from Texas
