Each tour in this bundle begins at a different location. Start any tour by downloading the Action Tour Guide app that will function as your guide, audio tour, and map.
In Boston, you’ll walk in the shoes of the Founding Fathers on the Freedom Trail. Hear how the first sparks of revolution flew in Boston and how those sparks became an inferno! The revolution comes alive as you pass sights like the church where Paul Revere’s famous lanterns once hung. Learn about the Sons of Liberty and get to know crucial figures like John Hancock. Plus, uncover the truth about misunderstood events like the Boston Massacre.
Afterward, they head to Lexington and Concord, two towns that have entered history books when they hear the “shot heard ‘round the world.” Here, you’ll follow the route of an impossible battle between a ragtag American militia and the most powerful military in the world: the British redcoats. Relive the underdog struggle, find out how the Americans turned the tide, and hear what it all meant in the fight for American independence.
Finally, you’ll tour Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was first signed and the Constitution was first ratified. As you explore the most historic parts of this beautiful city, you’ll get to know Philly’s adopted hero, Ben Franklin, and the other revolutionaries who called this city home. Plus, you’ll see iconic landmarks like the Liberty Bell and Elfreth’s Alley, maintained just as in the 1700s.
