Review & FAQ:

Exploring Boston’s famous Freedom Trail is a must-do activity for any visitor to Boston, providing a memorable history experience for the whole family. You can explore the trail at your own pace on a self-guided tour with a guide book or audio guide or really bring the history of America’s fights for Independence to life for your family by joining one of the many guided tours available. Your tour will be conducted by a costumed docent and will include sixteen historically significant sites. The full trail covers about 2.5 miles and you will probably need a stroller for younger children. Tours start at the Boston Common Visitor’s Information Center.
