Established in 1634, Boston Common is America’s oldest public park. Puritan colonists purchased the land rights to the Common’s 44 acres from the first European settler of the area, Anglican minister William Blackstone.
Designed by Charles Bulfinch, the ‘new’ and current State House has served as the seat of Massachusetts government since its opening in 1798. Holding the legislative and executive branches, it sits adjacent to the former site of the historic Hancock mansion.
The church was founded in 1809, at the corner of Park and Tremont Streets, atop the site of Boston’s town grain storage building, or granary. Designed by Peter Banner, the 217 ft. steeple of Park Street Church was once the first landmark travelers saw when approaching Boston.
Established in 1660, some of America's most notable citizens and founding fathers rest here. Named for the 12,000-bushel grain storage building that was once next door, the historic burying ground has approximately 2,300 markers.
Boston Latin School, founded on April 23, 1635, is the oldest public school in America. It offered free education to boys - rich or poor - while girls attended private schools at home. Until the completion of the schoolhouse in 1645, classes were held in the home of the first headmaster, Philemon Pormont. A mosaic and a statue of former student Benjamin Franklin currently marks the location of the original schoolhouse.
Constructed in 1718, the Old Corner Bookstore is downtown Boston’s oldest commercial building and was home to the 19th-century publishing giant Ticknor and Fields, producer of many venerable American titles including Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, Longfellow's Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, and the Atlantic Monthly including Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Republic. Saved from demolition in 1960, the building’s leases help subsidize important historic preservation projects in Boston’s neighborhoods.
Where the Boston Tea Party began! This hall rang with words from Puritan sermons, public meetings, and the tea tax debates.
Often referred to as "the home of free speech" and the "Cradle of Liberty," Faneuil Hall hosted America's first Town Meeting. The Hall's vital role in revolutionary politics had not been part of its original plans, but it became home to an intricate collection of events that shaped the nation's history. Visit the adjacent marketplace home to many shops and eateries.
Learn the tale of why a round rock is embedded in a wall of an 18th century building
Home the oldest continually operating restaurant in America and many other interesting sites along the road and nearby Marshal Street.
On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston’s North End and set out on a journey that would ultimately make him a legend. Today that home is still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston’s oldest building and one of the few remaining 17th-century dwellings in a large urban area in the United States.
The enduring fame of the Old North began April 18, 1775, when church sexton, Robert Newman climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were marching to Lexington and Concord by sea across the Charles River and not by land. This fateful event ignited the American Revolution. Built in 1723, Christ Church in the City of Boston, known to all as the Old North Church, is Boston’s oldest surviving church building and most visited historical site.
Named after shoemaker William Copp, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground is the final resting place and burying ground of merchants, artisans, and craftspeople who lived in the North End.

Neal Roberts was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and I learned many valuable things about Boston that were new to me.
Had a wonderful walking tour of the Boston Freedom Trail. Tracy did a great job accommodating our family and answering all of our questions. We learned a lot and are glad we had a knowledgeable guide!
We had an outstanding private Freedom Trail tour with Cindy and could not recommend her more highly. She is an incredible storyteller who brings Boston’s history vividly to life. Instead of just pointing out landmarks, she shared fascinating stories about the people and events that shaped the American Revolution, making every stop engaging and memorable. It also happened to be an extremely windy day, and Cindy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. At one point she even guided us to a nearby Marshall’s so we could grab sweatshirts and hats before continuing the tour, a small gesture that really showed how thoughtful and attentive she is with her guests. Cindy’s knowledge was remarkable, and she answered every question with enthusiasm and depth. She paced the tour perfectly, allowing us time to take in the historic sites while weaving together the larger story of Boston and the birth of the nation. If you’re visiting Boston and want more than just a walk past historic buildings, book a tour with Cindy. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip.
Amazing experience! I would highly recommend Neal. We had two junior high school students that were thoroughly entertained and engaged in learning about history.
This private small-group tour was excellent. Our guide, Tracy, was very knowledgeable and shared great information about all the places we visited. She was also very accommodating whenever our group wanted to make a stop. I would highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic tour with Manny - one of the best we’ve been on, and we’ve done these all over the world. We had our 4 girls with us (13-8) and Manny made the morning engaging and enjoyable for all. Highly recommended!
Ernie was an amazing tour guide. We learned many wonderful things about Boston. He was very accommodating to our pace and any needs we required.
Our private tour with Cindy was the perfect way to get an overview of the rich history of Boston without the large crowds of other tours. Our teens were grateful she was not dressed in costume :) Cindy was full of great knowledge and stories and answered all of our questions. We were able to cover a lot of ground in 3 hours and it was just the right amount of time.
Cindy was amazing! She was easy going, explained things very well, and was very knowledgeable! We would recommend Cindy to anyone!
