Description
Welcome to the narrated walking tour of Boston’s Freedom Trail, where the American Revolution began! Boston’s Historic Freedom Trail: Walk down storied streets in the footsteps of the founding fathers. Hear the story of how the first sparks of revolution flew in Boston, and how those sparks became an inferno that engulfed the American colonies. The architects of the revolution come alive along this historic trail as you pass sights like the Boston Common and the Old North Church, where Paul Revere’s famous lanterns once hung. Learn about the Sons of Liberty and the webs of conspiracy and unrest which once threatened to shatter Boston into a thousand pieces. Uncover the truth about misunderstood events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. See the city of Boston in a brand new light as we take you back to the time of John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Benjamin Franklin, all without having to fuss with a map! As you walk, audio stories will automatically pop up and start playing. It’s revolutionary history like you’ve never heard it before. Are you ready to turn your phone into a personal tour guide?

Worked well
Fine work for the self guided tour. I liked the interactive map. The gps letting me know where I was. Enough information with links for more. Well done.
Great App
Wanted the flexibility of a self-paced tour so purchased this app and it was well worth. I loved the GPS feature and being able to delve into more detail if I wanted. I purchased the bundle and look forward to using the app for the other spots.
Great idea, poor performance
App continually asked for a comment on how I was enjoying the App and then it would freeze. Tried all the usual remedies to unfreeze with no luck. Eventually gave up using about midway thru the Freedom trail.
Good except for continual interruptions asking for rating
Works well and provides interesting info. Five stars except for continual annoying interruptions asking for rating.
App crashes upon opening
Tour worked great a year ago, but now I can’t get the app to open at all and I can’t find a way to contact the app developer.
Beware of charges
I purchased the $9.99 package. I used it one day and enjoyed it. The second day when I opened it, it didn’t recognize that I had purchased it and wanted me to pay again.
Amazing option
I am super impressed with the app tour. It is well done and is really nice because I didn’t want to do everything so I was able to pick and choose.
Well worth the money
Excellent tour for the price. We really appreciated being able to go off the tour to eat and shop and pick up where we left off. One nice add might be to note where public restrooms are located, but otherwise fantastic.
Excellent
Totally worth it. You could just walk it yourself but you miss out on some great narration, and to do one of the organized tours you are spending 3x more easily. Highly recommend this for a nice diy walking tour at your own pace.
Poor design: don’t waste $
We were following the bricks from bunker hill, apparently app has a different path! It would skip out of an audio in the middle, making places like the cemeteries totally annoying.
