About This Tour
Ready to join the Revolution? In this tour, you’ll follow Boston’s iconic Freedom Trail, visiting the sites where some of the most consequential events leading up to the Revolutionary War occurred. Along the way, we’ll share the stories of the patriots who spearheaded this country’s fight for independence.

As you step back in time, you’ll feel the colonists’ growing anger and frustration fed by a series of laws and taxes imposed on them by a king and Parliament an ocean away, who didn’t understand the Americans’ struggle to build farms and towns in the New World wilderness, and didn’t share the Puritan and Pilgrim settlers’ commitment to rule together for the good of all.

This tour’s vivid narration brings to life the escalating events leading up to the Revolution, including:

●     Formation of the Sons of Liberty and the “Loyal Nine” groups in protest of England’s actions
●     The Boston Massacre
●     The Boston Tea Party
●     Sam Adams’ memorable speeches rallying the patriots
●     The Battle of Bunker Hill
 
Tour Highlights Include:
●     The Old North Church, where patriots hung lanterns in the steeple to warn of the British invasion
●     Paul Revere’s home
●     Faneuil Hall, site of historic patriotic meetings
●     Old South Meeting House, where the Boston Tea Party kicked off
●     Boston Common
●     The Liberty Tree
●     The Boston Tea Party Museum
●     USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, the seemingly indestructible warship that played a significant role in America’s triumph in the War of 1812 and still sails the waters of the Boston Harbor to this day
●     Bunker Hill, the site of one of the bloodiest battles in the Revolutionary War
