Bring the Founding Fathers and the American Revolution to life with this self-guided walking tour of the Boston Freedom Trail!
Boston’s Historic Freedom Trail:

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.

As you walk, audio stories will automatically pop up and start playing. It’s revolutionary history like you’ve never heard it before!

RAVE REVIEWS:
“This was an amazing way to walk the Freedom Trail!!! The tracking through the GPS was spot on and it was having all the information provided on all the points!!!”
“I did not know a lot about the American revolutionary war and without overwhelming me, it brought the events of the time to life for me”
"The freedom trail tour was great. Wife and I shared a pair of wireless earbuds which I recommend. The tour is broken into many small sections which automatically stayed as we walked to the next point on the trail. It all worked perfectly, was extremely easy to use and very informative.

Ratings and Reviews
Just what I needed!
I was coming up on the end of my trip to Boston and had booked so many group activities (whale watching, day trip to Martha’s Vineyard, etc - all highly recommended) and yet still felt I hadn’t soaked up enough history in Boston, itself. This app was recommended just as I was about to book a bus tour, which I was just feeling wouldn’t have been intimate/involved enough and it was just perfect! It was about a 2-3 mile narrated tour of the freedom trail plus some extra historic sites, I learned SO much, got some good exercise in, and got to see all the sites up close and personal for a fraction of what any other city tour would’ve cost! I would highly recommend this app. The one thing I will say, (which does not take away from my 5 star rating at all) is that the map isn’t as “smart” as your google maps app. I often used google maps as a supplement/ to navigate. Other than that, this was perfection!
Developer Response ,
Wow! Thanks so much! Walking the Freedom Trail with us is definitely a good way to get those daily steps in — along with lots of history of course! We are absolutely thrilled that our tour added so much to your Boston visit. Hopefully you get the chance to try some of our other tours next! Thanks again!
Benefits over tour group guides
First time in Boston. My wife and I split a pair of WIRELESS earbuds. I put in the left ear. She used the right ear. Geo triggers worked perfectly. You can repeat the audio if you miss something. What we liked over using the app more than a tour group type was that we could do our own pace. At one point we found ourselves next to the Sam Adams tasting room, so we had a beer and pretzel. Much later in little Italy we saw a charming bakery down a tight alley. We found a bench and had a coffee and pastry before returning to the Freedom Trail. We lingered for a long time in a cemetery moved by the names we recognized. You can even do half of it and come back another day to do the rest of it. This app is Freedom on the Freedom Trail.

Sounds like an amazing day in Boston! So glad that our tour was a crucial part of this fantastic experience! We may quote your “freedom on the Freedom Trail” line if you don’t mind… it’s catchy :) Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!!
Excellent App!
As most reviewers have said, this APP is amazing. We downloaded it and used it. We found it simple to use, excellent audio narration, great comments on the stops, and on and on.
Each commentary is only about 1 to 2 minutes long. And you can easily pause and wait for the noisy truck to go by or not disturb the other tour groups. And you can repeat the commentary if you want.
SUGGESTIONS:
• Plan on all day to really take it in. We did and were glad.
• Take your phone (or iPad) charger, because we ran out of battery by lunch time and had to buy a charger at Walgreens (which happens to be on the route at about the halfway mark). We plugged in our phone while we ate lunch and were good to go.
• If you do go all day (we walked from Boston Commons near our hotel to Battery Park), plan on taking an Uber back to your hotel. Best $20 of the whole day.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the app, its ease of use, and the quality of the audio narration. Your suggestions are valuable, especially the tips on planning for an all-day experience and bringing a charger. I appreciate your thoughtful feedback and hope you continue to have great experiences with our app on future tours. Safe travels!
