Boston Town Crier Tours offers Freedom Trail walking tours at 9:30am, Sunday-Saturday (everyday), and 12:30pm, Monday-Friday (weekdays). Starting early at makes sense because it’s still cool outside and tours are less crowded.

Purchase tickets for 9:30am or 12:30pm tours or arrange a private tour here. You can also call Donald Watson, owner, at 617-794-7512. In case of bad weather, please call 1-888-SEE-BOSTON to confirm tours are running.

Boston Town Crier tours finish at Faneuil Hall. If you start early, you can walk to the end, the remaining 1.5 miles of the Freedom Trail to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Return to Boston by water taxi or subway station at Bunker Hill/Community College, to see the rest of the city—leaving plenty of time to explore the Little Italy section of the North End of Boston, with terrific Italian restaurants, pastries, coffee & ice-cold gelato.
