Description

Walk through history as you explore Boston's Freedom Trail with a local historian and storyteller as your guide. Learn the legend of the Midnight Ride as you step into Old North Church—with a private guide—and Paul Revere's home, and discover how one fateful night changed American history. Along the way, you'll get a firsthand look at the sites that were integral to America's fervent pursuit for independence, from Faneuil Hall to the site of the Boston Massacre.

You'll start at Granary Burying Ground, the final resting place of Revolutionary leaders including Samuel Adams, John Hancock—and Paul Revere himself. From there, you’ll visit the Old South Meeting House, where Bostonians gathered to debate British rule and organize protest. At the Old State House and the Boston Massacre Site, your guide will share the pivotal events that unfolded right outside its doors in 1770.

Afterwards, you'll walk to Faneuil Hall, a longtime center of public discourse and community life. Then, head into the North End, Boston’s oldest neighborhood and Revere’s home. As you walk the brick-lined streets, your guide will paint a picture of daily life in the city Revere knew—bustling, diverse, and increasingly shaped by calls for change.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Old North Church, where the signal lanterns were hung on one fateful night in 1775. After stepping into the sanctuary and a brief tour, you’ll enjoy a private visit of the bell ringing chamber. You'll be among the few to enter this historic space that most don't get to experience. With a private visit for just you and your small group, you'll be able to soak in the chamber's direct connection to one of the most iconic moments in American history.

After a stop outside Paul Revere’s home, follow your guide to Long Wharf, where your journey continues with a fresh perspective. On a 1-hour narrated Boston Harbor cruise, take in sweeping skyline views and learn how the waterfront shaped the city’s economy, defense, and role in the Revolution.

From historic graveyards to the lantern-lit tower of Old North Church, this tour connects the landmarks of Boston to the larger story of America’s founding—and the midnight ride that helped set it all in motion.
