Step into 1775: Freedom Trail
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.

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 you travel 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!

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!

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.

Great way to see a city

This was wonderful, I’ll be looking for these every time I visit a new place

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

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.

Beware

There are options that say “included” but when downloaded you get charged $16. Had to call Apple to get a refund.
