Are you looking for a way to see all 16 Freedom Trail sites without joining a tour group? Explore at your own pace with this self-guided walking tour.
• Find out about Samuel Adams, the one man on whom you could maybe blame the entire American Revolution and other key Freedom Trail players • Hear from producer Daniel Berger-Jones, a local educator and tour guide • Do it all in 120 minutes or linger at stops along the way with complete control over when you start and finish • Get unlimited use before your booking date and after it • Use the virtual tour option at home
Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive a ticket with instructions and a unique code listed under “Before You Go”. Then simply install the Voice Map app and enter your code.
The app displays directions to the starting point, and when you’re in the right place, pop in your headphones, and just tap start. Voice Map has automatic GPS playback, with turn-by-turn directions. It also works offline.
Pop into Faneuil Hall, once a town meeting hall where Samuel Adams used to speak, and today a government auditorium with cool old art.
On this Freedom Trail walking tour, I’ll take you to all 16 of its sites including where unarmed citizens were shot dead in a massacre by British soldiers (sort of), where American colonists gathered to toss 92 tons of tea into Boston Harbor (we call it a Party), and where Paul Revere left on his Midnight Ride (before getting arrested).
Visit Brewer Fountain and hear about how Boston was formed before taking in the impressive Massachusetts State House.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
