I did the Freedom Trail last March (2009). I loved it. You can take a tour and be lead around by a revolutionary tour guide who takes you through Boston Commons and up to the state house. My friend and I went without a tour guide and were able to go at our own pace. We used my tour guide book and walked all the way to Bunker Hill. It takes at least 2-3 hours to do the whole trail if you really want to look at the history. Before you start, check the open times at the spot you want to go into because we went to late in the day or the wrong days, and some of them were closed. Also make sure you have a map because sometimes its hard to see the red line you follow. I loved it and would do it again!

We booked a walking tour on line. (Received a discount) You can also walk-up and purchase tickets. Our guide was dressed in his traditional colonial clothes. Very informative. A lot of humor mixed into the history lesson. Wear comfortable shoes.

Don't miss the Freedom Trail if visiting or living in Boston. Cost =$0.00. Just walk the trail and see tons of historic sites.

Well worth the time and walking it takes. Much better than the Duck Tours, which will show you the sites, but only for a second while driving by them. We didn't bother to pay for a guide or a map (AAA has a great map and descriptions about each stop) and off we went. From the beginning at Boston Common to the end at Bunker Hill, you will feel the history as you walk through town. About a 3 mile walk from start to finish, but it may seem longer depending on weather and traffic. It took us about 4 hours to do the entire thing and that was with one stop off for a quick lunch, a tour of Paul Revere's house and a stop at the Fanueil Hall Marketplace (Quincy Market). Some of the highlights were the huge Boston Common park where the revolutionary war heroes trained, Paul Revere's house, The Old North Church, the site of the Boston massacre and the Granary burial grounds where Revere, John Hancock and Ben Franklins parents graves are there and if that isn't an amazing piece of history, I don't know what is.

I met some tourists in Boston who didn't want to do this because they said it's so touristy. Maybe, but it's touristy for a reason! It was amazing! Start at Boston Common and buy a map (for $2) at the information center. Crazy as it sounds, I lost sight of the trail a few times and needed the map to keep me on track. Once you know what to look for (the trail changes. Usually it's brick, but sometimes it's a painted red line) it becomes much easier. If you start at Boston Common the first half of the trail is very busy and takes you right through downtown. Buy water now because once you cross the bridge you head into a residential area and finding water is much much harder. I walked the entire trail and it was amazing to see so much history. I loved the Freedom Trail and can't wait to walk it again the next time I head to Boston.

What a great tour. I went with a young man named Ebenezer Macintosh. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly enthusiastic. I've never seen someone put so much energy into history.

It was fun to walk the trail and see the historical sites. I would highly recommend it to others. It is pretty much a free activity (except small admission fees, under $5 mostly, to some attractions).
