The Best of Boston Free Walking Tour Itinerary

Your Boston adventure begins in the tranquil Boston Public Garden next to the Ether Monument, where the guide will introduce you to the garden's Victorian charm and serene swan boats. Next, the tour will lead you through the cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill, sharing stories of its historic brownstones and famous residents.

Embarking on The Freedom Trail, we'll head through Boston Common and past the Massachusetts State House's iconic golden dome. Next, a stop at the Robert Gould Shaw Monument and Granary Burying Ground will offer insights into the city's rich history.

Wandering further, we'll encounter the Statue of Benjamin Franklin and the Site of the First School in the United States, where we'll discuss important details of US history. The expert guide will also bring colonial history to life at Old South Church and the Old State House.

Next up will be Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, which is always buzzing with activity, followed by a somber moment at the Holocaust Memorial.

The journey will wrap up in the North End, the Italian neighborhood, where the guide will share tales of Paul Revere's ride and the historic Old North Church. After a total of 2 hours, our free Boston highlights tour will come to an end at this beautiful church.

Nadia te cuenta la historia de Boston de una forma muy amena, nada aburrida. Mientras realizamos el recorrido, aporta anécdotas cada cual más curiosa. Todo el mundo prestaba atención, algo muy difícil hoy en día. Todo perfecto. Como nota, le pongo un 10. Increíble. Translate this opinion into English.

Recomiendo totalmente el tour. Dos horas muy aprovechadas y útiles para poder organizar los siguientes días en la ciudad. Igual he echado en falta alguna recomendación más de lugares de comida/ocio pero es verdad que al final podíamos preguntar sin problema. Translate this opinion into English.

María, la guía, era muy simpática, detallista y nos contó muchas anécdotas además de toda la información que nos dio. A pesar de ser un recorrido largo, no se hizo para nada aburrido ni cansador. Mi recomendación es que los grupos no sean tan grandes, porque a veces puedes quedarte rezagado. Translate this opinion into English.

Maria, the guide, was very friendly, detailed and told us many anecdotes in addition to all the information she gave us. Despite being a long tour, it was not boring or tiring at all. My recommendation is that the groups should not be too large, because sometimes you can get left behind. Opinion translated. Show original.
