Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Freedom Trail walking tour? Any tips?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking a lot on those historic brick paths. Dress in layers since Boston weather can be unpredictable, especially if you're going in spring or fall. And don’t forget a hat or sunglasses if it’s sunny; you’ll be outdoors for a while!

Q: Is there an age limit for this walking tour? Can kids join?

A: No specific age limit! Families often bring kids, and the guide usually makes it engaging for all ages. Just keep in mind that there might be a lot of walking for little legs, so consider how your kids handle long walks. Also, it’s a great way to spark their interest in history!

Q: Can I reschedule if I buy this as a gift? What’s the policy like?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to do it at least 48 hours in advance. The Boston History Company is pretty flexible, and if you reach out to them, they'll help you find a new date that works. It's a great gift, just make sure your recipient knows they can change it if needed!

Thinking of gifting the Freedom Trail walking tour! Who’s done it?

I’m considering this walking tour of the Freedom Trail in Boston for my history-loving brother's birthday. I've never done it myself, but it sounds amazing to see all 16 sites and hear stories about figures like Paul Revere. Anyone who's been, how was the tour? Was the guide knowledgeable? Worth the time?
