Great Self Guided Tour
The tour guide is great and the app works relatively well. You start the tour and then it auto plays the relevant section as you enter a geofence. Each explanation is a perfect amount of information and there are plenty of resources to deep dive on each topic if you want more info.
You can easily quit and come back when you are ready to continue. Every once in a while the geofence wouldn’t trigger and you would have to manually play it, due to GPS struggling to get a lock in certain areas. This was pretty minor and did not break the immersion overall.
Pro-tip: on IOS ensure you set the “always allow” location permission and not just “when using the app” or it won’t work properly.

Great Tour, minor technical issues
First off this tour was great. Immersive, good content, and the app is designed pretty well overall. I really enjoyed the tour and was glad I did it.
That being said, I was really annoyed when the audio would restart or change because the gps jumped around which happens frequently downtown when surrounded by tall buildings, especially when the points are close together. The graveyard was the worst with many close together interest points.
Also, the audio that’s already playing should never restart itself when I cross the threshold. Let’s say I want to start listening early as I walk towards a point, but then I reach the point and it restarts and won’t let me skip ahead. This also happened if gps jumped out of the circle and then back in, forcing me to relisten to the whole thing if I wanted to finish it.

Worth it!
I believe it’s well worth the money for the audio tour. I like that you go at your own pace and it picks up automatically when you walk by the points of interest. My kids listened to it through my phone speaker and learned a lot.
Great self guided tour
A great option for a self guided, self paced tour of many important Boston monuments
