Old North Church & Old South Meeting House/Freedom Trail Boston Questions

[MalibuCA]

WHAT TO DO?

 

Old North Church -- They offer 2 forms of admission. (1) Drop-in (no reservations, 10-minute presentation by Staff Guides in the pews). (2) Behind-the-Scenes Tour (reservations required, about 50 minutes, takes visitors into the second floor gallery, bell ringing chamber, and the crypt.)

 

Has anyone taken the Behind-the-Scenes Tour? Is it worth investing the amount of time? Or is the Drop-In admission without the extra perks more than enough to see? What would you recommend we do?

 

Old South Meeting House -- Has anyone been here and visited the exhibit inside? I see that we can purchase a Patriot's Pass, which provides discounted admission to both the Old South Meeting House and the Paul Revere House. I am guessing that the Old South Meeting House is a "must see" if it is paired with the Paul Revere House. Is it? Our time in Boston is so limited. I only want to stop at the best "must see" spots along the Freedom Trail. Please share your thoughts on the Old South Meeting House.

 

Thanks!
