Such a great way to explore Boston solo! I didn’t want to do a formal group tour and was so impressed with this entire audio experience. I had never done anything like it before and it was so easy to download and use and I loved how the audio would automatically start when I got to the next location.
Educational and fun. Take your time and absorb the history around you. Grab a Canolli and Italian Coffee.
Excellent narration in a storytelling, humorous tone. Interesting information too. The map feature was very helpful.
Hillary was an amazing tour guide. She knew information about the Salem witch trials, local ghost, general information about Salems historical history, and of course, hocus-pocus. We learned so much and more from our tour with Hillary. She also took amazing pictures of us. She provided hand warmers as a nice gesture due to the weather. She also gave us great recommendations for shopping and food for the next day. Overall 10 out of 10 recommendation for our tour with Hillary.
What a fantastic tour! The narration was excellent, the narrator's sonorous voice clearly explaining the history of each part of the trail. He added humor and relatable anecdotes where needed to make the information relevant and timeless. The directions were clear and easy to follow. We loved the Oporto take a break then restart without having the stress of keeping up with a tour group. Absolutely wonderful experience!
Easy to follow with great information shared! We liked having the option to peel off and linger at our choosing. We also took advantage of the food recommendations! Yum!
It was such a great tour. The map follows along with you so the timing elements work out so well with audio tour! It was very thorough and not boring at all. So thankful for this opportunity. We were able to add on museum tickets or rest at our disgression then continue on. Thankful.
Historical wittiness! The narrator had vast knowledge of sites along the Freedom Trail and used humor and intellect to impart facts about the importance about each site.
Great tour. Very informative and the narrator had just enough sarcasm to make it fun. Highly recommend.
Fantastic tour! The code received was able to be used by all in our party (me and husband) so we both downloaded the app and listened on our phones. Tour guide did a great job with directions and telling of the history in each area. VERY easy to follow along with. The guide ends at the view of the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill, not actually at the locations, so if you wanted to actually visit these you would have to plan separately. The rest of the tour was great though. Would 10/10 recommend for those that want to complete the Freedom Trail on a self-guided tour!
