★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,531 reviews · 1 hour 45 minutes (approx.) · from $26

Boston Freedom Trail tour with a costumed guide: State House, Granary Burying Ground, Old South, and a finish at Faneuil Hall.

“The Guide, who used his period name, Ben, was very humorous. I would say he focused more on humor than conveying period specific knowledge. However,he did spend some extra time with us taking us to sites that were not originally on the plan which was generous. He seemed to focus on what he thought people could remember as key and humorous takeaways. I was there with two nephews currently studying the revolution in high school, so I was hoping for a bit more factual context.”
