My boyfriend and I were in Boston for a very brief trip and wanted to maximize our time. In our…read moresearch for a walking tour that 1. Wasn't solely dedicated to the Freedom Trail, 2. Wasn't an impersonal megaphone or megabus tour, 3. Wasn't outrageously priced, and 4. Just looked fun, we agreed that this tour looked the best! We definitely chose correctly. Paul regaled us with historical knowledge of Boston, that was not only educational but interesting! It's amazing to learn about the storied history of this country while walking these streets. Really made us appreciate Boston in an interactive sense. What sets this tour apart is that it's small and personalized. Paul made an effort to get to know our interests and answer all the questions we had. He's also a cool cat and a character! We had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and topped things off at Beantown Pub where we met up with Paul's son Nicky and enjoyed some delicious beverages and Irish egg rolls for St Patrick's Day. Thanks to Boston's favorite father and son duo for an amazing time! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Boston!!

THIS experience was... WONDERFUL!!! FYI... DONALD WATSON is THE MAN! Was investigating Boston…read moreFreedom Trail tour options online and was given a link on bostonusa.com after being redirected from thefreedomtrail.org site, while preparing for our first family visit to Boston, MA. Apparently COVID-19 has suspended all Freedom Trail Foundation led tours at the moment (summer 2021) so was looking for something to engage our kids' interest while we walked Boston's Freedom Trail. Let's face it... just walking and looking at the Freedom Trail will be absolutely boring to most kids. Tour guides in normal clothes & just talking to us... PASS! Donning historically accurate clothing and talking with an accent, and website claims of "good at engaging young people"... HUZZAHHH! Winner, WINNER! Setting up the tour over the phone was not difficult at all. Phone calls were returned promptly. Donald Watson was the point man for organizing the details of our jaunt on The Trail. We were even allowed to alter the start time to facilitate additional commitments later in the day. Flexibility! Thank you!! When the Freedom Trail day arrived, we finally met Mr. Watson in person, and he was quite the cheery chap! Donned in clothing that was circa 1776 and sportin' an accent that was easily understood. He took the role of Sons Of Liberty member James Otis. Allowed us some time to finish our on the run breakfast too, before starting our tour at the Boston Common Visitor Center. We confirmed everyone was COVID-19 vaccinated, so... Everyone ready?!? YES! And off we went! Good pace to the walking tour, never felt rushed, always waited for everyone to catch up before talking, answered all questions with an obvious depth of knowledge! Had us all yelling "FIE!" And "HUZZAH!" throughout the tour as we hit 11 of the Freedom Trail sites. We finished at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market, all VERY happy our experience, all exuberantly saying "FIE!" when Mr. Watson announced "We've reached the end our tour." HAH! All the families wanted to get pictures with Mr. Watson, cuz we "kinda" enjoyed our jaunt with him way too much ;) VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! As a comparison, we also took the Boston Duck Tour and this was FAR MORE enjoyable for our party of 12, age range 12-52. Enjoy! We sure did! :)

The Freedom Trail is a great way to explore the city and learn about its history all in one walk. If you're visiting Boston for the first time, I highly recommend walking the Freedom Trail!

There are tours available, but we walked along the trail ourselves, from Boston Common to the USS Constitution. We didn't follow the trail exactly, but used it as a guide as we explored the city on our first day in Boston. We passed by the Massachusetts State House and the Robert Gould Shaw and 54th Massachusetts Regiment Memorial, visited the Granary Burial Ground, walked through the grounds of the Old City Hall, walked past the the Boston Irish Famine Memorial and King's Chapel, stopped to use the bathroom at the Old North Church, saw the Boston Massacre Site, and went on the USS Constitution. The Freedom Trail is a great way to explore the city and get some exercise, and it doesn't cost a thing unless paying for a guided tour. [Yelp collections: Boston, MA 2025; Cheap Thrills]

If you are a Fan of those Pirate movies then you've got to experience the Real Thing! The tour combines fun interesting facts about the history of Boston plus they show you many points of interests both past & present still standing in the city. They even throw in some Pirate stories as well like Sam Bellamy & The Widdah. The crew is all dressed in Pirate attire so you really get the whole Pirate experience. We had Captain Mckinnon & Captain Mead. Both Kids & Adults will like this nautical adventure in the 7 Seas. They even let the kids help hoist the sails. This is Great to put on a future resume - Yup I helped sail a Pirate Ship. LOL! It gets chilly on the seas so bring an extra jacket. They also have Free Blankets they pass out if you're cold. You'll pass by The TD Garden, The Zakim Bridge, The Old North Church, The Seaport Area, Legal Seafood, The Rebook Headquarters, Logan Airport, The Charleston Navy Yard, The USS Constitution & many other sites. You'll definitely get heads a turning cruising in the Pirate Ship by other boaters along the route who will give you a wave. There is a rest room below the deck.

Our guide (& had I did it that night I prob would have remembered her name) was quite literally the best tour guide I have ever had, at EVERYTHING... I mean just all the tours in life... Im from here - I THOUGHT I knew all the things, and this was a work event and the team is all from here, but we thought it was more a "Food (which it was) Tour" but this gal knew HISTORY - Stuff I didnt even know! But not that she just knew, she had SO MUCH personality, I would literally pay again just to hang with her for the night! With the exception of Dino's I had been to all these places in the past but it was just cool to do it in a different manor. The Food places were fun, the history was great, She was welcoming, knowledgeable and just all around a great person for this job! When in town this is a tour you need (And comfy shoes!)
