Freedom Trail Walking Tour

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

What you will visit:

The Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail begins at Boston Common, where the British forces were encamped from 1775-1776. It travels past the Massachusetts State House, King's Chapel and the resting place of some of Boston's most historic figures. The trail continues to the Old South Meeting House where the most memorable gathering sparked the Boston Tea Party in 1773 and ignited the Revolutionary War. At the Old North Church, a statue of Paul Revere stands with the towering church steeple rising behind him. Walk by the Old State House and the site of the Boston Massacre, then see the balcony from which the Declaration of Independence was read on July 18, 1776.

Faneuil Hall & Quincy Marketplace (independent exploration)
Faneuil Hall, hailed as the Cradle of Liberty, is a Georgian style building adjacent to the two story, 27,000 square foot Quincy Market, considered the social center of Boston. This indoor pavilion has over 100 shops, an abundance of eating establishments, and street performers that stroll through the area.

What you will see along the way:
Board your motorcoach and enjoy a pleasant drive to beautiful Boston Commons, the oldest park in the country. Over 50 acres, the Commons is the anchor to what is known as the "Emerald Necklace," a series of parks that connect Boston's neighborhoods. The Commons has an illustrious past and is a fitting start to the historic Freedom Trail.

Special Notes:

The walk covers a distance of approximately two miles. Wear comfortable walking shoes. If time permits, you may remain in town for independent sightseeing and make your way back to the ship at your expense.

This is a walking tour and is not suitable for guests with limited mobility. Guests must be able to keep pace with the group.
