What To Expect

Statue of Samuel Adams

Your tour begins at the statue of Samuel Adams - one of Boston’s most iconic residents (and there’s plenty to choose from!). From here, you’ll venture into Boston’s markets and neighborhoods, sampling the best of Boston’s foodie fare and diving deep into the history that permeates through the city!

Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Your first stop on the foodie half of your tour is at Faneuil Hall and its Marketplace. This destination is a lively market and town hall and is located close to the waterfront. This is where the cries for revolution from Great Britain first rang out.

Quincy Market

This bustling food hall is popular with locals and visitors alike. Open for nearly 200 years, this market offers soaring architecture, delicious local bites, and plenty of colorful characters. You’ll definitely want to revisit this spot once your tour ends.

Rose Kennedy Greenway

Your tour will pass this picturesque park and you'll see the unique memorials, fountains, parks, and art exhibits that reside here, along with skyline views.

North End

Your guide will introduce you to the vast choice of different drinks and bites and you'll get to experience them yourself! From breads to cheeses to pizza, it's got it all - so arrive hungry! As you're munching, our guide will teach you all about the history of the North End - one of Boston's most iconic and popular neighborhoods.

Paul Revere Mall

Enjoy a stroll down this tree-lined promenade and snap a picture of the man himself atop his horse, as your guide tells the immortalized tale of Paul and his Midnight Ride.

Old North Church & Historic Site

Along the tour, you’ll get a view of the steeple of the Old North Church from a distance (one of Boston's Must See spots). We’d highly recommend a visit after your tour - it’s where lanterns were hung on the eve of the American Revolution.

Old State House

Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House and site of the Boston Massacre. The Old State House is one of the most iconic buildings in Boston - a Must See - and is also one of the oldest public buildings in the country. Our guide will educate you on its rich history and why it is so important today.

Old South Meeting House

You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. This location, in-fact, a church is where it all began - one night in 1773, when it was the largest building in the city!

Old Corner Bookstore

Next we’ll pass by the site of the first bookstore in Boston, which has housed the publishers of Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, and Longfellow - you may have heard of his famous tale: The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

Old City Hall

This hall was home to the city council in the 19th and 20th century, as well as the site of the first public school in America. You’ll also marvel at its breathtaking French architecture and be able to snap a photo with the famed Bronze Donkey.

Granary Burying Ground

Originally part of Boston Common, this burial ground dates back to 1660. Along the way, you’ll pass by the final resting spot of famous Revolutionary heroes like John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams.

Boston Common

The oldest city park in the United States, Boston Common (not Commons) is a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Walking through the park, you’ll see various memorials, fountains, and recreation areas - which have been enjoyed daily since 1634.

Beacon Hill

One of the most popular and well-known neighborhoods in all of Boston, this area is home to the glorious red-brick roads that illustrate the vast history of Boston. Our guide will talk about the development of this area whilst you take in its unique beauty.

Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial

A lesser-known memorial, but one of great interest and significance. This memorial commemorates one of the first African American regiments in the Civil War and their colonel Robert Gould Shaw.

Massachusetts State House

You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House, designed and built by famous federalist architect Charles Bulfinch in 1798. From the outside, take in the views of modern Boston, including the skyscrapers of Downtown, the Financial District, and the tallest building in New England: The John Hancock Tower.

Boston Public Garden

This garden is full of life with residents of Boston enjoying it for walks, exercise, fun, or just a peaceful moment. Your tour will end here - in the perfect central location for you to continue your day in Boston.

We had a great tour thanks to Nabil. We visited quaint spots with great food as we learned from the history of Boston. Nabil did such a great job keeping us engaged in the history and curious facts about famous local residents. Would definitely recommend for families. The walk is long but has multiple stops and breaks.

Thank you for the great review! Our Food to Freedom Train Tour covers the incredible food and history of the North End and then you get to burn off all of those carbs while walking the rest of the Freedom Trail. And we agree - Nabil does a great job! We hope to see you on another adventure again soon!
