Make certain that you are in shape for this walk because if you plan in advance and make stops at every highlight you could easily walk 5 miles for the day. We began parking in the lower level of the Boston Commons and saw every sight that is listed plus many others then ending past sunset retrieving our car. It... more

My husband and I went to Boston a few weeks ago. The first thing I wanted to do was the Freedom Trail. What an amazing experience! Going to all this historical places was wonderful. We didn't take a guided tour. We did it by ourselves at our own pace. The first day we started at North End then walked up... more

I had such a fun time! As a photographer in a small group of friends (ages ranging from mid 40s to teens) we all enjoyed the Freedom Trail. Tons to see, very photogenic, etc. We went during Mid October, which seemed to be the perfect time of year to go. more

My wife and I did the freedom trail a few weeks ago while staying in Boston. We did not do a guided tour, instead we opted on taking one of the free booklets that are availible and went to the spots that interested us. We started in the morning and did the first half until quincy market where we stopped... more

A very nice walk - easy to follow the marks in the street and good historic points on the way, like the balcony where they read the declaration of independence, churches, graveyards etc. Well worth it! Pick up a map and information at the information stand before you start. more

During a recent trip to Boston my husband and I throughly enjoyed the Freedom Trail. While the trial is clearly marked with a red line and is easily done alone, I highly recommend taking one of the many guided walking tours. We took two different tours with Boston By Foot. One was "The Heart of the Freedom Trail" and the... more

Being from out of town, the Freedom Trail was great because it kepy us from getting lost and we were able to see a lot of Boston. There was a lot to see along the way, and not just from a historical aspect. We didn't do any of the guided tours, but we did see a lot of historical monuments,... more

We walked the Freedom Trail a couple of weeks ago. I had been to Boston before but only for 1 day both times so had seen the sights but never walked the tour. However this time I found it to be a fun and informative way to see the sights. It only took us a couple of hours to do... more
