Self Guided Classic Freedom Trail Location Aware (GPS) Walking Audio Tour

We really didn’t know where to start the tour but once we started it was good

This app was perfect for us. we walked the entirety of the Freedom Trail with it and it allowed for seamless stops, entertaining history and succinct presentations for first time Boston visitors. Thank you!

I loved the flexibility of this self-paced tour. It was also nice how the GPS feature of the tour app was able to track your location and coordinate the audio.

Tour was good but the music was annoying.

GPS app tour was very informative and flexible. Only issue I had was my cellphone ran out of battery power shortly before the end!

The tour starts at the visitor center in Boston Common and ends af Ol Iron Sides. Narrator is clear and precise. It tells you exactly where to go and when to move on from a point of interest. You can go at your pace by simply pausing between sites. Very informative tour. Also, unlike a formal tour with a guide, we were able to soend extra time at places we were interested in along the route such as Warren Tavern, Modern Pastry, and Little Italy. Great experience. Highly recommend this method of exploring the Freedom Trail. We took 3 hours.

I was in Boston for a day and wanted to experience the Freedom Trail on my own. I rolled the dice and chose this self-guided audio tour based on reviews. Overall, the information provided in the guide was pretty good, but I was expecting the app to work with the GPS in my phone to stop and start when I was at or near one of the stops along the Freedom Trail. Spoiler Alert-it does not. Like at all. A few times I had to pause the app while I walked, but when I tried to restart the app crashed. Multiple times. It was aggravating needing to restart the app, then try to navigate back to where I stopped. Directions in Little Italy were confusing and I got lost. By now, my ear buds were getting low so I took a break, bought a coffee and recharged my ear buds while consulting the map I purchased at the Boston Commons visitor center. I figured out how to get back on track and resume the tour. Overall, I guess I can't complain too much for an app that cost less than $10 so it is what it is.

We thought this was a great tour and learned a great deal about Boston. We liked that we could pause and spend extra time at certain spots, which you can't do on tours led by live people. We were greatly disappointed when halfway through the tour it ended and we were told we would have to purchase the other half of the tour, which we couldn't find on Tripadvisor, so we bought it directly through the vendor. We were again disappointed when the second half of the tour did not include the entire second half of the tour, only part of the North End. Although the original description says the tour ends at the USS Constituion and goes to Bunker Hill, it does not. We felt that if the tour had included everything it advertises it says it includes, we would have rated it 5 stars but cannot because of the deception in the description. This tour does not take you to the USS Constitution and does not take you to Charlestown or Bunker Hill, it actually stops just after Faneuil Hall.

You cannot start the tour at a different location on the Freedom Trail. We stayed near the USS Constitution and then walked to North end then to Fanueill hall.

I’m a New Englander who has been to BOS more times than I can count. I learned a lot about Boston with this tour. Bring a good pair of sneakers and a bottle of water and enjoy.
