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.

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.

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.

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!
