We were new to Boston and only had a short time in the city. My partner and I thought the freedom trail would be a good way to get into the city's heart and history. And, oh boy it was! We met our guide on Boston Common after handing over $14 each to the Freedom Trail Foundation. Our guide in period costume was extremely knowledgeable, and provided a very entertaining, light touch commentary as we walked at a very manageable pace through the heart of the city, stopping at the major sites of interest along the way. The tour finished at Faneuil Hall, and took just over 90 minutes. Thoroughly recommended.
