The Tour of The Freedom Trail by the Histrionic Academy is a guided walking experience along Boston’s historic Freedom Trail. Depending on your chosen timeslot, you will meet either at 139 Tremont Street (the Boston Common Visitor Center) or in front of 120 Tremont Street. From there, the route follows the Freedom Trail for approximately 1.2 miles, beginning at Boston Common and ending at Paul Revere's house.

As you move along the trail, you will pass several historic sites and hear about Boston’s inspiring past. Your guide will share stories about America’s Founding Fathers, the American Revolution and New England’s colonial history, linking the places you see to the events and people who shaped them.
