Then we all and decided to walk the Freedom trail. The trail starts at one end of Boston Common which is another public park adjoining the Public Garden.
Marika and Mei Sing decided to do a tour that started at the Visitors' Centre located at the Eastern side of the park. Michelle and I decided to do our own thing with a book we bought of the Freedom trail. The guided tour did not appeal to us because we didn't like the look of the groups. Basically there's a person dressed in 18th Century costume that takes you around and explains the landmarks along the trail. However, they overbook these groups and it looks like 30-40 people in a group. It looked like it would be tough to hear the guide so we didn't want to join the tour.
Not being on tour meant that we could just explore at a leisurely pace. So we followed the same route but at our own timing and also making the diversions we wanted and having a rest anytime we wanted it. In hindsight I would still choose this as we overlapped with the group at various parts and they just seemed really messy and we actually got to go into some of the places that a big group wouldn't go... And we got to make a bathroom and shopping stop too along the way... Oh and we got to go see the buildings of Cage & Fish from Ally McBeal hehe but no dancing babies...
The Boston Freedom trail is about a 4km walk that goes past landmarks that are important in US history specifically in American Revolution.
