The Freedom Trail Foundation

The Freedom Trail Foundation tours depart from the Boston Common Visitor Information Center on Tremont St. (on the hour) and from the BosTix ticket booth at Faneuil Hall Marketplace (on the half-hour). Costumed guides provide sightseers with compelling factoids and anecdotes describing Colonial Boston and its residents. A variety of 90-minute walking tours are offered; the most popular option, the basic Walk Into History Tour, highlights 11 of the 16 historic sites found along the 2.5-mile-long Freedom Trail.

Guided tours are available.
