What To Expect
North End
Visitors walk through several of Boston's Freedom Trail historic sites including Copps Hill Burying Ground, Old North Church (separate admission required/recommended), and Paul Revere House (separate admission required). Other topics discussed include the Irish and Italian periods of immigration and how it formed the culture of Boston's "Little Italy." We discuss recommended eateries for Italian cuisine, pizza, and pastries.
Old North Church & Historic Site
See the site where church caretaker Robert Newman hung the lanterns in the steeple on the night of April 18, 1775. The lanterns signaled Paul Revere (and others) to begin their rides, alerting the Minutemen that "The British are coming!" Although it requires a separate admission, visiting the interior of Old North is recommended for its historical significance. Admission also includes Captain Jackson's Historic Chocolate Shop, where visitors can learn of how this special treat was made and consumed in the 18th century.

4.00We were listening to the introduction to the Armenian Memorial when we were approached by some senior members of the Armenian community in the city. They were so delighted to hear that the explanation of their memorial had been included in your tour and that you understood what the memorial was portraying. Well done you!
Great walking tour!

5.00Very descriptive and interesting tour with very good directions included! Good combination of history and other facts. The app worked well, too. I was able to stop/start and skip ahead or back when I wanted to get a bite to eat or take a break. For the price, I would highly recommend.
