Public Small Group Walking Tour of the Full Boston Freedom Trail
Using excellent storytelling and occasional dad jokes, we are here to ENGAGE our listeners, whether they're half-bored kids, history buffs, tourists, or locals. Small groups of 25 guests and fewer make it fun and enjoyable, not crowded and insane, but provide enough cover that you can laugh out loud without feeling embarrassed. Covering ALL 16 SITES on the Freedom Trail, we make sure you see everything while leaving time for a few deeper stories. Our goal is to help you understand why the American Revolution began in Boston, and why we're proud to call this city home.
While this is the story of the American Revolution, our professional guides have been trained by veteran guides and historians to provide fun details off the beaten path, as well. Hancock, Adams, and Revere mingle with names like Charles Ponzi, Frederick Douglass, and Phillis Wheatley. Something for everyone!
