Historic Boston! In 90 Minutes! We're booking a guided tour* for anyone who wants to go with fellow PAXers. This is a great chance to learn about Boston History from legitimate (read: non-cheesy) sources with friends. Drinks and food abound afterward at Faneuil Hall!
WHAT: 90 minute guided walking tour from Boston Common to Fanueil Hall
WHEN: Thursday, April 5
TIME: 3:30 PM
COST: $10 (cheapest option is a private tour for 13 ppl)
WHO: http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/tickets/tours.html
Afterward: Meeting for drinks and happy hour at Fanueil Hall with the tour guide, around 5:00-5:30. Gotta take a load off after ALL THAT WALKING, y'know?
UPDATE: We're meeting at the Boston Common Visitor Center, 139 Tremont Street. Be there at 3:30 PM with your walking shoes on, and your drinking hat in your pocket!
The MMT will also be doing this tour earlier in the day, if you'd rather go before the Fried Food Extravaganza lunch!
Please indicate your interest (or re-indicate it, if you haven't since the updated MMT schedule) below.
If you'd be willing to be a back-up coordinator in case I get hit by a bus before then, please let me know.
Woo! Boston!
*Last year, on the way to pick up some Cannoli before heading to the airport, we came across a costumed tour guide and a group of tourists on the Freedom Trail. Normally these sort of costume schticks are pretty awful, but this guy was clearly passionate about the material and was so interesting & funny that we followed the tour and eavesdropped for a block. Later, we found out that this particular tour was affiliated with the National Parks' Freedom Trail organization and only hires a select few guides who are legitimate historians and historical cosplayers. Many of the guides even make their own costumes.
** The Granary Burial Ground closes at 4:00.
***The tour office suggested to 'request a drinker' when booking the tour so they'd come drink with us afterwards. I love them already.

My plane doesn't arrive until 2pm on Thursday, so I'd like an afternoon tour if possible. I am planning on taking this tour regardless, but it'd be way more fun as a private tour with a guide and friends.

There are so many people coming to PAX, I'm sure that there will be plenty of interest in both. We're definitely doing this tour, but the MMT voting isn't done yet, so may or may not include it. If it all comes together at the same time, then I'll work with Punzie to figure out how to do the tours together in a way that everyone can enjoy (and hear) it.

FYI, 3:30/3:45 is about the latest the tours can start at Boston Common, as the Granary Burial Ground closes at 4:00 (as noted above, just wanted to repeat it here for clarity).

Tell them Rev. Peter sent you if you call to make a reservation and you'll prob get a dollar or two off per person. Best ghost tour in Boston (or Salem for that matter)

Thats pretty cool. Wish I had known before hand, maybe we could have setup a group to go there.
If you get here and we're not out front, follow the trail until you get to the group led by a small woman in a blue cape and period costume.
