Boston Freedom Trail History and Brewery Tour

Boston's principal role in launching the American Revolution is linked by the brick-lined Freedom Trail. Awarded “Best of Boston” by The Boston Globe, Hub Town Tours works with local partners to provide unparalleled Freedom Trail experiences. Choose INSIDERS TOUR to step inside two museums and relive history where it happened, or sample TOUR & TASTE to add beer tasting and all-inclusive lunch at a favorite brewery!
Both tours walk through the heart of Downtown Boston, visiting 11 of 16 official landmarks on the Freedom Trail. Along the way, your expert guide delves deeply into the years 1768 to 1775, tumultuous years leading to the American Revolution.

INSIDERS TOUR includes admission to Old State House, witness to the Boston Massacre, and Old South Meeting House, origin site of the Boston Tea Party. TOUR & TASTE concludes at Democracy Brewing, where guests enjoy local craft beers and lunch featuring New England favorites such as lobster rolls, clam chowder, and Boston baked beans.
