Freedom trail
You need to be able to walk on uneven sidewalks. It would help if you knew a little bit about our countries history. There will be several tours going on at the same time but the guides are good to keep you together and made sure you could hear their stories..

Great tour guide/tour group very large
The tour guide and route were excellent but too many people on one tour time made it hard to hear in many places and to stay together as a family.

Freedom tour with kids
I would highly recommend this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and a history teacher who was very good at keeping our kids (9&13) engaged. He kept a good pace and stopped frequently in shady spots. He lots of interesting details but drone on like some of the other guides we encountered. The 90 minute tour with 11 stops was really a perfect length for us, but if you wanted to see the other 5
sites, the guide gave advice on how to get to those on your own. If you are looking for a shorter version to do with your kids, I recommend this one!
