Super wonderful little trip through the city. Technically we started a the beginning of The North End Italian district by Dalutis? This neighborhood is utterly charming, Full of old world charms , lovely chic eateries with flower boxes and wine glasses and cloth napkins beautifully perched on tables awaiting diners , and then through the historic cemetery with the amazing views and ancient hand carved tombstones circled with daffodils , then around to the historic churches and brick plazas, and ends in the historic Irish? Areas near the Arm and Bell? And the Oyster house. Check out the Boston Market on a weekend with the booming voices and music and fresh and not so fresh smells. A true Boston experience.

I'm glad I went with a tour guide. His insights and humor made it worth it. I didn't have a lot of time so having a guide made it easy and quick to learn some of the history of Boston. We did 11 of the 15 stops in about 1.5 hrs. It was about a 1.5 mile walk. I recommend

The tour was excellent. Jeremiah Poope was a great tour guide! Very funny yet very informative! The sites were incredible, a good way to learn and sew Boston rather than running around alone, huzzah!

This is a fun walk for when you are visiting Boston! It took us almost 6 hours with lunch, reading the plaques, and visiting some museums. You can do it quicker too! It’s well-marked, but can get quite crowded.

The tour guide was a great laugh very informative, good with comedic intertwined to keep all attention and remember information

Non bias so the information is both perspectives and factual

Did the self guided freedom trail tour using the national park service audio and guide tour. You will walk all over the city but it's a nice way to see key areas in the city.

The Freedom trail is marked by a yellow brick path at the top of the park where you can see the Massachusetts State House (gold roof) on Beacon and Bowdoin where you begin the walk. You’ll really want to make a full day of the walk, as there is sooo much to experience. Some parts of the trail are not friendly for wheelchairs or baby carriages because the sidewalk is PACKED and in some parts narrow. Toward the end of the trail you walk through Little Italy. Definitely take the opportunity to grab some lunch or dinner, as the food and smells are just heavenly.

Wait here for a walking tour of the freedom trail. Our guide was fantastic and gave us a lot of interesting information we hadn't heard before it's supposed to just the standard things you here on a lot of tours. I would love to have had a tour that did the whole trail but doing 1/2 one day and the other half another day works out really.
