Although this was not my first time in Boston, I loved experiencing the city again. The history, the food the people make it so special.

I booked a Freedom Trail walking tour while my husband was at this business meeting. 7 years ago, our family did Boston together. We did lots of the Freedom Trail then but this time was amazing. I love hearing the history and seeing the places they happened. This tour provided all that and more.

I booked a Boston Freedom Trail Walking Tour through Viator you can check it out here.

I met my tour guide Nick at the Soldiers and Sailors statue in Boston Commons for an 2 and 1/2 hour tour that flew by. We heard stories and were entertained the whole way. Nick was a great storyteller and we were all mesmerized by his passionate talks. Even the one 12-year-old in the group was fully engaged the whole tour. Chiming in when the group was asked questions. As a former home school mom this impressed me that Nick could keep everyone engaged on this tour.

After learning about Boston Commoms we continues on foot around the city.

Our next stop was the Granary burial ground. This burial ground is where the Sons of Liberty, John Hancock, Samuel Adams and Paul Revere are laid to rest. It is also the location of the 5 victims of the Boston Massacre are remembered.

Our whole family is full of history lovers. We listen to a lot of podcasts and knew the story of the Boston Massacre. However, standing where it happened and getting new details made it come alive. Again, Nick did an amazing job going over the details of what went down that day.

Seeing the places where the Sons of Liberty met. So thankful for that the buildings were preserved so we can see where history happened here in the United States.

The famous Old North Church were the lantern signal warned militia the Redcoats were coming.

Our tour ended here but I continued enjoying the city. My husband who was in meetings when I did this tour was given a summary of my tour as we walked around together later that evening. I learned so much and it made me enjoy the city of Boston even more.
