I had a great time on this freedom trail tour! We took the 930 AM (earliest tour) Boston Crier tour and it was perfect! The weather was cooler and it wasn’t busy out yet! Also, being the first and only tour out, there weren’t any other tours at the same time as ours - so we got to sites exclusively. The tour itself was great! Our tour guide, Nabbie Smith, was informative and kept our interest! It was a great time!! Highly recommend!!!

I am really not sure you went on the BostonTownCrier Tour of the Freedom Trail. We spend about 10 minutes on Boston Common as we do with each sight on The Freedom Trail that we cover. Other companies that leave from same starting point stay on the common much longer than we do. We do a lot of school groups, 7 year olds and up love us. I would like to give you 2 free tickets in case you visit Boston again.
