Hub Town Tours: Freedom Trail Small Group Tour
About
This is Hub Town Tours’ Freedom Trail walk, a 2.5-hour small-group tour that covers all sixteen official Freedom Trail landmarks. The route starts at Boston Common and ends at Copp’s Hill Terrace in the North End, so guests see the full trail on foot with a knowledgeable local guide. Using a storytelling approach, the tour is designed as an introduction to Boston’s status as America’s “Cradle of Liberty.”
The storytelling concentrates on 1760 to 1776, the tumultuous years leading into the American Revolution. Guides follow Colonial Bostonians as they grappled with whether to stay loyal to the crown or rebel, tracing how a small colonial town careened toward war with a global empire. Hub Town Tours’ guides bring backgrounds as park rangers, museum educators and history teachers, and the company has been recognized as a Top Pick on the Freedom Trail.
