Freedom Trail: Small Group Tour of Revolutionary Boston (2.5 Hours)

Overview

Boston's principal role in launching the American Revolution is linked by the brick-lined Freedom Trail. This world-famous pedestrian path is best experienced on foot, in a small group, with a knowledgeable local guide! Your 2.5-hour tour travels from Boston Common to Copp's Hill Terrace in the North End, providing guests a chance to see ALL SIXTEEN official landmarks on the Freedom Trail.

Our small-group walking tour delves deeply into the years 1760 to 1776, the tumultuous years leading into the American Revolution. We walk in the footsteps of Colonial Bostonians, all of whom grappled with the difficult—yet essential—question of loyalty or rebellion to crown and country.

With a captivating storytelling approach, Hub Town Tours provides the perfect introduction to Boston's status as America's "Cradle of Liberty." As we travel past historic landmarks from Revolutionary Boston, your guide shares the gripping story of a small colonial town careening toward war with a global empire.

Review for Freedom Trail Walk with Hub Town Tours – Small Group Walking Tour We had an incredible experience on the Freedom Trail Walk with Hub Town Tours! Our guide, Nick Roberts, was absolutely amazing—by far the best guide we've ever had. His deep knowledge of history combined with his engaging storytelling made the tour both educational and entertaining. Nick didn’t just recite facts—he brought the past to life, sharing fascinating details that you wouldn’t get from a typical tour. The small group size made the experience feel much more personal and interactive. Nick was professional, approachable, and always willing to answer questions, making sure everyone felt included. You could tell he’s passionate about what he does, and his enthusiasm was contagious. If you're looking for a top-notch Freedom Trail experience, Hub Town Tours is the way to go—and if you’re lucky enough to get Nick Roberts as your guide, you’re in for a real treat. Highly recommend! He also gave us lots of tips such as restaurants and bars as I am coeliac and he advised where to go - turned out to be the best Italian we've been too!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience of Nick's tour! He is an experienced, passionate history professor who loves to be out on the Freedom Trail with guests. Our guides' goal is to tell a riveting story and break for our guests' questions, and our small groups help us do that. He will be as glad as we are to know he contributed to your enjoying Boston in all these ways. Thanks for the "best guide we've ever had" vote!

This was a great tour and one I would highly recommend. It was small (16 or so) so there was no risk not hearing. Dana brought the American Revolution alive with his passion and knowledge for the subject. He gave a sense for who the main characters were and gave them a depth that I wasn’t aware of. Mind, Money, and Muscle you will find out who is who. I really enjoyed, and would throughly recommend, this 2 1/2 hr tour.

We so appreciate this recommendation and review of Dana! Thanks, Peter! He is a fantastic storyteller, and with the actual sites where events happened as a backdrop, our guides love to invite guests into Revolutionary times. Honestly the characters in this history are fascinating. So happy you enjoyed.
