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.

Wirklich schlecht

Nicht ausgereift. Dauernde Abbrüche, Mal automatisch dann wieder manuell notwendig. Computergenerierte Übersetzung und dann statt
10 USD 13 USD abgebucht. Nicht empfehlenswert.

I’m sorry your experience was interrupted. Was that caused by pedestrian traffic, not following the route, or some other issue? The more you can share, the more I can investigate! The translation is manually edited, and if there are specific errors, I am happy to review and correct them. Regarding the price difference, the price displayed is USD for purchases in the US App Store. Apple fees may differ across countries and currencies.

Highly recommend!

My sister and our husbands took a trip to Boston and wanted to walk the freedom trail at out own pace. This guide was WONDERFUL! The map was intuitive and knew when we were passing a landmark on the trail and would just start talking. Very informative and WAY cheaper than paying for a group guide. I definitely recommend if you’re wanting to walk the trail!

Best way to see the Freedom Trail at your own pace!

We loved doing the self-guided walking tour of the Freedom Trail. It was the perfect way to explore Boston’s historic sites without feeling rushed by a large group. The self-guided map was very easy to follow, taking us through all the major Revolutionary War landmarks like the Paul Revere House and the USS Constitution. Being able to stop for photos whenever we wanted made it a much better experience than a formal tour. If you're looking for an affordable Boston tour that hits all the Freedom Trail highlights, definitely go the self-guided route!

Hi Caroline, Thank you for the fantastic review! I’m so glad my Freedom Trail self-guided audio tour made it easy to explore Boston’s historic sites at your own pace and enjoy highlights like the Paul Revere House and USS Constitution. It’s great to hear the map was easy to follow and helped make your experience even better. I really appreciate your recommendation and hope you enjoy another tour soon!

Needs work

It's a very clunky app

Very smooth

My mother and I were looking for something new to do, so we decided to walk The Freedom Trail. I absolutely loved using this app. It was seamless, informative, and operated perfectly. We both very much enjoyed listening to the narrator, and pairing the app with a beautifully sunny day in Boston!

Almost no content, waste of $$

After every stop we looked at each other and said “that’s it?” This app has a great idea but delivers almost no content and information while doing the Freedom Trail. I was expecting more history and info than 2 sentences. We had lots of time between stops that the app could have added way more details about where we were. Wasted opportunity. Such a disappointment and it was not cheap. Find an alternative.

Hi there, I’m sorry the Freedom Trail Boston Guide didn’t deliver the level of history and detail you were expecting—that’s understandably disappointing, especially for such a historic route. Please contact support@actiontourguide.com with your purchase details so your feedback can be reviewed. I can also help by suggesting an alternate tour that may be a better fit, or assist with processing a refund request promptly if you prefer.

Wonderful addition to my trip!

I had done the hop on hop off bus the first full day of my trip in Boston. I wasn’t sure what to do the second day but decided to get up early and walk the freedom trail. This guide was perfect! It provided guidance, direction, interesting information, and little stories for while I was walking. I also added on the Bunker Hill tour at the end. I had a great time! I highly recommend touring the USS Constitution ship.

Thank you for the wonderful review! I'm so glad to hear that the Freedom Trail guide enhanced your experience in Boston and made your walk even more enjoyable. It’s fantastic that you also added the Bunker Hill tour and had a great time. The USS Constitution is definitely a must-see! We appreciate your recommendation and hope you’ll explore more with us on your next adventure.

Work well

Just good information. It’s a tour guide that is at your control

Boston & Freedom Trail

I love this app! I wear hearing aids that have blue tooth. The guided tour plays right to my hearing aids and I don’t miss a thing by not being able to hear a tour guide. I’m able to spend as much or as little time as I want at each stop. I will be using this product for all future travel spots. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

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.

Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you and your nephew enjoyed the Freedom Trail with our app. With 150+ more tours to explore, we hope you'll join us for more adventures!

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.

wonderful app; worth well more than the price

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

We're delighted to hear you and your wife enjoyed the walking tour of Boston with your Apple Earpods in transparent mode! It's great to know the app's narration enhanced your exploration of the city. Thanks for highlighting the value of our app – we're thrilled it exceeded your expectations!

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!

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.
