It was confusing to get stated and once I got the app downloaded , it did not work . I ended up paying for a guided tour which was much better

Marlon_M

I felt the tour was a very good value and way better than I expected. It was nice to stop and have a snack or a lunch break. It’s also a super long tour. I didn’t know I was going to Bunker Hill. It was a bonus.

Jacqueline_A

Was difficult following directions to get to where the tour started. I booked it and wanted to use on my boyfriend's phone but it was impossible so I had to buy it a second time with his name on his phone to actually use it. The Freedom Trail line really helped us navigate and the arrow in the app helps too. Very difficult to hear unless you're using headphones because of all the traffic noise. Otherwise a good historical telling of all the sites.

The tour was good. The large numbers of people and traffic made it uncomfortable and hectic. It was hard to get pictures due to the crowds. Beantown Pub was referred to us but the food was just ok, got the fish and chips but fish was not fresh. Very disappointed for the price. Did a tour in Salem the next day and was much happier. Smaller crowds and much more relaxed atmosphere.

Lucille_T

This tour is a great way to see the Freedom Trail at your own a pace while also enjoying the sights and sounds of Boston. My husband and I shared the audio on one phone and this worked just fine. We took our time and paused at the places we wanted to stay at longer and learned so much about this country's history. The path is easy to follow and the audio is great at directing you on which way to go. We started at the visitor's center and they were helpful at getting us going in the right direction.

Amanda_T

The tour was easy to download and use. And so informative! What a great way to not spend a lot of money, but still learn a lot about Boston! And at your own pace. I highly recommend it!

Jennifer_V

Excellent walking tour. Super easy. Pause and continue at your own pace. Nice alternative to a guided tour. Provides the perfect amount of historical information.

Wendi_C

Perfect for a family of 4 with teenagers. Could go at our own pace. Great for our American History vacation.

Eleanor_H

Had an extra couple of hours before my flight and decided to do an audio tour. Super informative and educational. Great directions and I never got lost or felt I was going the wrong way. Highly recommend the “ dig deeper” options. Could have missed my flight I enjoyed it so much!

Richa_B

This was a very detailed and fun experience! We got the experience of a guide without having to keep up with a group. Best situation!
