A Wonderful self guided tour, allows you to go at your own pace and spend more time a stops. Very informative

Carey P

Good for a self walk. We like the narrator. Watch the traffic if using buds! Better than walking with a group tour of 25! And cheaper. App is a bit hinky at first setting up but one set it tracks and start and stops pretty well

This tour does not follow the full Freedom trail. It is informative for the locations it does cover but doesn’t get you to the USS Constitution museum or bunker Hill

By assuring your confirmation actually works. Tourist center was unable to use your email. Will be contacting my credit card company.

Could not download app even though I had full bars which made this totally useless. I have an iPhone 13 so it is a newer model.

What a great tour. It was easy to follow the route, which took you to all the interesting places. We really loved the fact that we could go at our own pace

IngoPie

I had a great Freedom Trail tour with some insider information. Sometimes I have had problems to follow in English because English is not my native language. But I think I got most of the sense and there were some surprises. If you to do a tour in your own pace and guided via an app… this is the one!

gregmD7076EC

Mitch was so informative and you can tell he really loves Boston.. his energy and insights made the tour super interesting. I love the stories, in particular the gold dome in the State House.. and how the German subs during WW2 keyed on it as a reference point leading the US to paint it black during the war. Great tour, highly encourage others to take it!

Great tour. My daughters learned so much about the Revolution. I found the discussions about the city, civil war and current politics, in many ways unique to Boston. Far exceeded anything taught to my daughters in school. Got to see the city from ground level. Little Italy It was like going to a city in Europe. Ben, NC.

Freedom Trail I like the way that Mitch guided us through! It was an excellent tour. I can''t believe the hurricane in 1804 washed the Granary Cemetery down into Tremont Street.
