Megan M. • November 12, 2018If you're following the Freedom Trail I'd highly recommend stopping in the Old North Church. You can tour on your own, but joining a guided tour is definitely worth it.

Ken H. • July 13, 2012One of the nicest gift shops on the Freedom Trail. Lovely historic Boston mugs. They now assign you a Revolutionary character on your pass, which is fun.
