5.00I used the audio tour in conjunction with the Hop on Hop off bus, so I got the narrative about areas around the stops. No rush, no fuss. It was a good solution and much less expensive then an escorted tour with a bunch of people.
Highly Recommend!

5.00This was really great! The driving tour through Cape Ann was the most beautiful drive I’ve ever been on. The ocean views were gorgeous and the town of Rockport was full of shops and galleries. The Freedom Trail tour was perfect for first time visitors to Boston. Our experience of Boston would not have been as wonderful without this guided tour!

5.00This was such a good experience, I really appreciated the map to show us where to go to follow the freedom trail and the narration was perfect, not too long not too short! This is such a great, affordable alternative to a guided tour.
