This was a great way to see several sites without too much walking i loved being able to pause to explore other places near by and to take photos it was easy to navigate because of the trail in the sidewalks and the guide was funny and gave time to catch up to the next place on the tour
Tour was interesting and easy to follow. I normally take tours with human guides but we wanted flexibility on timing so tried this self guided tour. Boston is such an interesting city filled with cool history. Highly Recommend
Austin was very informative and knew his facts about all the history locations we visited. Enjoyed it very much.
We did a tour in Salem and a ghost tour in Boston on our last day we wanted to do a tour nd have the flexibility to start and stop with a break for lunch in case the weather was bad and it was too cold. This was perfect. We enjoyed walking the city at our own pace and listening to the tour. Very informative and fun.
Didn’t want to do the hop in and off trolley and didn’t want to do a big group tour of area. This was nice could pause when wanted and picked up when I was ready to start up again. Informative walking tour. Had a little trouble getting started but called help number and within minutes I was all set.
Great way to see the city at your own pace. We did do the freedom trail tour Boston and the did the subscription to do other cities, too. Good investment - good tours. What is missing is an approximation of the duration of the tour - mentioned for some, not for others. That would help choosing....
Lots of great info. The ability to start and stop is great. We went in an enjoyed many of the sites, including a meal at Union Oyster and a drink at the Green Dragon. We spent the day walking around Boston!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Perfect for a family of 4 with teenagers. Could go at our own pace. Great for our American History vacation.
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!
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!
I love this company. If you get wireless earbuds, you and your partner can walk all over and not seem like you are on a tour. You can pause and stop and have a drink, or explore something further. We very much enjoyed our Boston to her and bought both Salem tours as well. My husband especially liked being able to take his time and listen to the tour but still have an eye on his surroundings. Highly recommend.
It was well narrated and very informative. I really enjoyed it and I plan on taking other similar tours in the future.
The sights were wonderful to see but the listening devices did not work. There were 6 in our group and we all had problems. The batteries died 1/2 way in. After changing the batteries they still did not last through the tour. Some did not pause but kept running before you got tobthe next site. Two of our friends just gave up listening after a while.
Unable to log on with no help from customer service. We gave up and never took the tour. Could not get a refund.
I really enjoyed the tour learning a lot of information and the tour guide even had me smirking— I was disappointed when I was told I had to buy part two to finish walking the trail either I missed it in the description or it wasn’t explained.
I went with my mother and 2 sons (12 & 10years old) The tour was informative and entertaining. We learned so much and it kept all our attention. Highly recommend
Loved this app! My wife and I went into Boston on a sunny day, had a blast with this app, had an amazing walk, learned many things we didn’t know about the area, amazing narration, we even saw other people using it in front of us. All in all, cool stuff!
