5 minutesBoston City Hall
Famous (or infamous) for its unique architecture.
King's Chapel Burying Ground

15 minutesKing's Chapel
First Anglican Church in Boston
Granary Burying Ground
The Sons of Liberty! We'll visit the tombs of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Sam Adams. They'll be with us all day!

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

1 hourOld North Church & Historic Site
"One if by land, two if by sea." We go through Paul Revere's legendary midnight ride with the iconic steeple from which he signaled his famous warning; culminating in "the shot heard round the world," and chaotic battle at Lexington & Concord. The British are coming - are you?
