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: 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.

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! Start in the Boston Common or Bunker Hill Monument and tour with total flexibility. Featuring riveting stories, a phenomenal narrator, and easy automatic audio, this app puts exploration in the palm of your hand!

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.

  • Great use of technology and a wonderful tour

    This was better than expected. The Freedom Trail is cool anyway as a path through Boston but the geofenced navigation in the app and the interesting information made this an easy $10. Shared an AirPod with my nephew and we did the whole thing with a few stops in between.
  • Better than a Tour Guide

    We used this app for the Freedom Trail in Boston. We set our own pace, stopped for lunch and had an amazing narration all along the trail. Insightful and not long winded, 1-2 minute explanations with prompts for simple directions. The map integration was seamless and extra info if you want. Well worth the price of $9.99.
  • Excellent!!!

    my wife and i took a walking tour of Boston using the app; each of us used apple earpods, in transparent mode wonderful way to enjoy a city; as you walk near interesting locations, the ‘guide’ verbally provides a narration of what’s being seen the value of the app far exceeds the cost
  • Great for solo traveler!

    Used this on my trip for Boston. Was recommended it through the Curious Cowgirl Podcast on Spotify. I bought the Freedom Trail guide and the Salem Witch Trial guide. Both very informative and allowed me to take in the sites and history without having to be on my phone the entire time looking up directions. The location was a bit off with a couple of spots but I think it might’ve been my phone that was causing that issue. Will be recommending this to friends and family when they come to Boston area!
  • Great way to see a city

  • Frustrating Functionality

    It was based on a great concept- of using location services to trigger the narration. But it didn’t work. It jumped all over the place. I could not follow it and when I tried to manually control it without location services it still malfunctioned. Definitely too many bugs to justify the cost. I was able to read the text- but it was only mildly interesting and superficially informative. It was NOT worth the hassle.
  • It’s all in-app purchases

    Just so you know…. There’s no “free version” of any tour.
  • Great, But Battery Drainer

    Honestly, this is great for the price and I was able to walk almost all of the freedom trail with my fiancé at our own pace and checking out other shops in the meantime. My biggest complaint is how much battery it drains and how it can be laggy at times. I mean this thing drains it like no other and I actually had to stop walking the trail and continue it another day because I didn’t have enough charge to continue. Definitely needs work on the backend. Other than that it’s great
  • Refund needed
