The Freedom Trail is truly an amazing trek thorugh the beginning of American history. Along the way, one sees Paul Revere's house, the Old South Meeting House, Old North Church, etc. However, the city is NOT built on a grid. It is very difficult at times to find one's way from one site to another. The pathway is supposed to... more

We really had a terrific day walking the Freedom Trail - the colors bricks (and painted roads) were easy to follow. Be SURE to stop at the Visitor's Center first and get the map (and any info you need from the friendly staff!) more

We decided not to take the guided tour and save some money. Instead we bought the map from the Visitor Center and did it ourselves. It was great but bring good walking shoes! more

The trail is 2 1/2 miles long, and we took the whole day to walk it, seeing practically everything along the way. You could do the Trail... more

The freedom trail is well worth doing since it is well sign-posted, has frequent guided tours (reasonably priced) and is a great introduction to the history of Boston. The section between Boston Common and the North End Church is especially good. Crossing the river is not the most pleasant experience (next to a busy dual carriageway) and I didn't find... more

The Trail starts at Boston common. There are a number of guides that will take you on the trial and tell you tails along the way. But we just chose to do the walk on our own. Just grab a map from the infomation stand and you are away. you just follow the little markers on the ground. Some of... more
