This small-group walking tour follows the story of the American Revolution, from the founding of Boston to the Declaration of Independence, in the order the events actually happened. Hear how the Sons of Liberty, the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Midnight Ride, Lexington and Concord, and Bunker Hill connect as one story. Without costumes or reenactments, your guide explains everything clearly and entertainingly using historical maps, visuals and even LEGO models. Walk through the whole city for about 3 hours, covering not only the Freedom Trail but also the old town and the North End.

Follow Boston's revolutionary history
in the order it happened
Instead of a brief overview at each stop, explore the Freedom Trail and Boston's original neighborhoods in the order events really took place. Understand how everything connects, from the Sons of Liberty to the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Midnight Ride, Lexington and Concord, and Bunker Hill. Your knowledgeable and humorous guide uses maps, visuals and LEGO models so it never feels like a lecture.
Start at City Hall Plaza and walk
the old town's burying grounds and landmarks

Starting from City Hall Plaza, pass King's Chapel Burying Ground, the Granary Burying Ground, Park Street Church, Old City Hall, and the Boston Latin School site with the Benjamin Franklin Statue. At the Old State House, the Boston Massacre Site, the Old Corner Bookstore and the Old South Meeting House, hear in detail about the events that became turning points of the Revolution. The Massachusetts State House, built after the Revolution, is not on the route; it offers its own free interior tours and is recommended for a separate visit.
Take a break at Faneuil Hall
and Quincy Market

Midway through the tour, take a short break at Faneuil Hall to look inside the 'Cradle of Liberty', with about 15 minutes to grab a snack at historic Quincy Market. Then pass the Rose Kennedy Greenway and head to the North End.
Wrap up the story in the North End
overlooking Charlestown

In the North End, Boston's 'Little Italy', visit the Paul Revere House, the Paul Revere Mall, the Old North Church and Copp's Hill, with views of the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument. Pass Charter Street Park and the Harborwalk before finishing at Lewis Wharf, where your guide shares local tips on cannoli, clam chowder, pizza, lobster rolls, gelato and more.
