Well worth the time and walking it takes. Much better than the Duck Tours, which will show you the sites, but only for a second while driving by them. We didn't bother to pay for a guide or a map (AAA has a great map and descriptions about each stop) and off we went. From the beginning at Boston Common to the end at Bunker Hill, you will feel the history as you walk through town. About a 3 mile walk from start to finish, but it may seem longer depending on weather and traffic. It took us about 4 hours to do the entire thing and that was with one stop off for a quick lunch, a tour of Paul Revere's house and a stop at the Fanueil Hall Marketplace (Quincy Market). Some of the highlights were the huge Boston Common park where the revolutionary war heroes trained, Paul Revere's house, The Old North Church, the site of the Boston massacre and the Granary burial grounds where Revere, John Hancock and Ben Franklins parents graves are there and if that isn't an amazing piece of history, I don't know what is. We saw some of the tour guides that you pay $12 to use and they are a bit corny and make you move at their pace. I would recommend doing it on your own at your own pace, just make sure you either get a map before coming or buy one at the visitors center.

I met some tourists in Boston who didn't want to do this because they said it's so touristy. Maybe, but it's touristy for a reason! It was amazing! Start at Boston Common and buy a map (for $2) at the information center. Crazy as it sounds, I lost sight of the trail a few times and needed the map to keep me on track. Once you know what to look for (the trail changes. Usually it's brick, but sometimes it's a painted red line) it becomes much easier. If you start at Boston Common the first half of the trail is very busy and takes you right through downtown. Buy water now because once you cross the bridge you head into a residential area and finding water is much much harder. I walked the entire trail and it was amazing to see so much history. I loved the Freedom Trail and can't wait to walk it again the next time I head to Boston.

What a great tour. I went with a young man named Ebenezer Macintosh. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly enthusiastic. I've never seen someone put so much energy into history. I cannot recommend the Freedom Trail Foundation tours enough.

It was fun to walk the trail and see the historical sites. I would highly recommend it to others. It is pretty much a free activity (except small admission fees, under $5 mostly, to some attractions).

History comes alive here, my family and I love to visit Boston. We traveled often from the Big Easy to Beantown visiting all the National Parks. But nothing beats Boston where this country started. Love the Boston Pops on the 4th this is a must visit for anyone who love this country.

I recently went to Boston for the first time and I did everything on the freedom trail. It is an amazing tour. When on this tour, you get to see all of beautiful Boston, MA. It takes you up to the North End and all the way down to the Back Bay. If you can't or don't want to walk the entire way, there is a trolley that goes along the trail. The trail is so easy to follow, you just follow the red line on the road.

After you are done, you will have seen a lot. We did it all in a single day, so rather than a 3 mile hike, it seemed like a 10 mile hike, but it was more than worth it. Don't forget to finish by climbing to the top of the Bunker Hill Memorial!

The freedom trail is a great workout, leisure walk, or exploration tool. It really takes you along the hot points of Boston and has a lot of rest stops along the way. Think of it as CliffsNotes version of Boston. There is some construction going on around the area as of the time of this review. As a result, there are some unsightly spots along the way, but it doesn’t detract from the overall experience too much. What can I say? It’s free and enjoyable.

We loved being able to walk and explore at our own pace. It didn't cost very much-buy the informational booklet and a ticket that gets you into all 3 museums along the way-and you're on your way! It's easy to follow with the clearly marked path, and the stops along the way are memorable and worth the trek around the city. You'll want to wear your walking shoes and bring quarters for parking! It's worth every minute and every penny!
