Boston's principal role in launching the American Revolution is linked by the brick-lined Freedom Trail. This world-famous pedestrian path is best experienced on foot, in a small group, with a knowledgeable local guide! Your 2.5-hour tour travels from Boston Common to Copp's Hill Terrace in the North End, providing guests a chance to see ALL SIXTEEN official landmarks on the Freedom Trail.
Our small-group walking tour delves deeply into the years 1760 to 1776, the tumultuous years leading into the American Revolution. We walk in the footsteps of Colonial Bostonians, all of whom grappled with the difficult—yet essential—question of loyalty or rebellion to crown and country.
With a captivating storytelling approach, Hub Town Tours provides the perfect introduction to Boston's status as America's "Cradle of Liberty." As we travel past historic landmarks from Revolutionary Boston, your guide shares the gripping story of a small colonial town careening toward war with a global empire.

We toured with Cal, who did an amazing job not only packing a lot of interesting history into 2.5 hours, but also helped us visualize the dramatic tensions and sensations of Boston at the time of the revolution. The temperature was well below freezing, the winds almost at gale levels, and the path treacherous with snow and ice. Despite those conditions, it was an unforgettable experience. Ask Cal about her own research, and also for food recommendations. She directed us to the best meatballs I’ve had.
