So here's my take on Boston Freedom Trail Tour. I've tested a bunch of sightseeing and walking tour apps, and this one's pretty solid. The audio commentary is informative and gives you a good sense of the history as you explore. And the ability to do it at your own pace is a big plus. On the downside, the map could be a little more detailed, and the app can be glitchy at times. But overall, it's a great way to see the Freedom Trail if you don't want to deal with an in-person tour group.

Description

Been using the Boston Freedom Trail Tour app for a couple months now. It’s basically a guided walking tour of Boston’s famous Freedom Trail, but you get to explore at your own pace. Pretty solid app if you’re into history and sightseeing.

Here’s what you do: as you walk along the trail, the app gives you audio commentary about the different historical sites and landmarks. There’s also a map feature that shows your location and the next stop. And the tours are split into two manageable sections, so you don’t have to do the whole 2.5 miles at once. Took me a while to figure that out but it’s a really useful feature.

Look, if you’re visiting Boston and want to learn about the city’s revolutionary history, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the audio can be a bit spotty in some areas – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
