This private car tour is comprehensive enough for any history buff, but as interesting in other ways for non history nerds. It's a unique combination of the Revolutionary War sites in Boston and Cambridge that you won't have seen. Then onto Lexington and Concord to see the towns where the "shot heard round the world" was fired. We'll take the same route as Paul Revere, stopping at the most significant, and lesser known sites along the way giving a detailed account of events in April 1775. For those less interested in the details of the battles, there's the option to visit the home of Louisa May Alcott or just take some time to enjoy the pretty main street of Concord. The itinerary gives the list of sites we'll visit, but timings are flexible to let us spend time at the places you're most interested in. We'll also stop for lunch (not included in price of tour) and there's plenty of photo opportunities.

Freedom tour review

Great and informative tour, Mark was well prepared and provided great detail and spoke in a comprehensive manner that was entertaining

Freedom Trail Walking Tour with Bunker Hill and USS Constitution

Mitchell_S, Oct 2026

Unique and worth buying

Great Tour, the tour guide was well informed and provided perspective from the New England/Boston perspective on its history versus a more general approach that a lot of historians may provide. This meant the stories were the same but the motivations and objectives flexed to the regional point of view. Very interesting in that form of discussion.

Mark was amazing! He is beyond knowledgeable with American history and has a fantastic way of storytelling and presenting the information. We walked the Freedom Trail, 4 hour tour, and Mark summarized all important figures at our final stop, the USS Constitution. Great way to spend a half day in Boston.

Long walk

It is a very long walk. Very few breaks only here and there. I suggest that at one point he stop for a lunch break for 30 minutes. Preferably before you make the walk across the bridge. Lots of up hill climbing. However he is very knowledgeable and the info is great for history buffs!!

A multitude of history explained concisely

It is hard to fathom the amount of history in this area and the unsung individuals that made it happen. It was truly enlightening. Mark did an outstanding job and was a delight to listen to. We ended up walking about 5 miles so be prepared. There were plenty of rest areas where Mark explained the history and characters of each place.
