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.
