O tejto aktivite

Viator Experience Award Top 20 experience (#2) in the United States. What makes this tour different is that instead of walking the Freedom Trail geographically – starting at one end and following it to the other – the sightseeing is synchronized with and unfolds to the storytelling. There’s a lot less emphasis on dry facts and dates and a lot more on the passions, personalities, and psychologies driving the events. The escalating action of the Revolution guides us through the crooked streets of Boston, recreating the drama and recapturing the energy that invented America. It's not only much more enjoyable it's also the most effective way to explore the city and learn the history. Built with the aspirations and anxieties of a fellow tourist in mind: the groups are kept small so you aren't herded around; we cover both major landmarks and hidden gems; visual aids and props help you grasp the material; we traverse all original neighborhoods getting a sense of the modern city as well.

Itinerár

  1. 1
    The Revolutionary Story Tour

    10 min - City Hall Plaza is a pedestrian only plaza very centrally located. We meet between the Staples Connect and City Hall (The big angular concrete building) I will be standing directly in front of a large statue of a basketball player.

  2. 2
    King's Chapel Burying Ground

    15 min - Learn about the incredibly unique people who first settled Massachusetts and how they created the cultural bedrock the Revolution was built on. The Puritans are much more important (and weird) than you can imagine!

  3. 3
    Granary Burying Ground

    15 min - The Sons of Liberty! We'll visit the tombs of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Sam Adams. They'll be with us all day!

  4. 4
    Old City Hall

    15 min - The most beautiful architecture in the city is the background of a discussion about about the role of Boston as the Athens of America, the historic obstacles to and inherent challenges of democracy, and the incomparable Benjamin Franklin.

  5. 5
    Old State House

    10 min - The oldest public building in the country and the nerve center of Massachusetts politics. The great political debate between British authority and American rights was here

  6. 6
    Boston Massacre Site

    10 min - Learn about the soldiers, the citizens, the loyalists, and patriot leaders all pulled into this explosion of tensions!

  7. 7
    Old South Meeting House

    15 min - The Boston Tea Party starts here! The most pivotal event leading up to the American Revolution. There's no turning back after this!

  8. 8
    Stop 8

    5 min - The road to revolution runs right the heart of downtown Boston. While the core of this tour is built upon 12 of the 15 Freedom Trail locations a beautiful and booming modern city has grown up all around its historic foundation. Neither should be missed and we will not overlook the present in our pursuit of the past.

  9. 9
    Faneuil Hall Marketplace

    10 min - "The Cradle of Liberty" is not only the symbol of American Democracy but its deepest roots can be traced to this building. This is where a protest becomes a revolution!

  10. 10
    Quincy Market

    10 min - Warning! Tourist traps abound!

  11. 11
    The Paul Revere House

    10 min - The house is in the oldest and most charming square in the city and surrounded by some of the best restaurants in America. The man is even more impressive than the legend!

  12. 12
    North End

    1 hr - The oldest residential neighborhood in America. You won't find a better combination of culture, food, and history in any square mile in the country. Italian, Seafood, Pizza, Cannoli, we'll talk about it all!

BEST TOUR I'VE EVER BEEN ON!

Absolutely the most knowledgeable person I have ever had anywhere for an almost personnel guided tour. I don't write many reviews. Just have to let the world know how great Mike is. BEST TOUR I'VE EVER BEEN ON!

Great tour for solo travelers!

Fantastic way to learn about Boston’s (and America’s) heritage! Entertaining presentation by Mike. I would never have ventured to all of these sights on a self-guided tour.

A Must Do in Boston

If you take any tour in Boston, take this one! Mike brought the story of The Revolutionary War to life in a fun and unique way. It’s also a great way to see the city and learn how historical and modern Boston are still so intertwined. Cannot recommend enough!
