5.00Tour was interesting and easy to follow. I normally take tours with human guides but we wanted flexibility on timing so tried this self guided tour. Boston is such an interesting city filled with cool history. Highly Recommend

5.00Austin was very informative and knew his facts about all the history locations we visited. Enjoyed it very much.
Great option for someone who wants the flexibility in the cold weather.

5.00We did a tour in Salem and a ghost tour in Boston on our last day we wanted to do a tour nd have the flexibility to start and stop with a break for lunch in case the weather was bad and it was too cold. This was perfect. We enjoyed walking the city at our own pace and listening to the tour. Very informative and fun.
On your own walking tour!

4.00Didn’t want to do the hop in and off trolley and didn’t want to do a big group tour of area. This was nice could pause when wanted and picked up when I was ready to start up again. Informative walking tour. Had a little trouble getting started but called help number and within minutes I was all set.
Good way to walk the city and get insights at your own pace

4.00Great way to see the city at your own pace. We did do the freedom trail tour Boston and the did the subscription to do other cities, too. Good investment - good tours. What is missing is an approximation of the duration of the tour - mentioned for some, not for others. That would help choosing....
Excellent

5.00Lots of great info. The ability to start and stop is great. We went in an enjoyed many of the sites, including a meal at Union Oyster and a drink at the Green Dragon. We spent the day walking around Boston!
Payed for nothing

1.00It was confusing to get stated and once I got the app downloaded , it did not work . I ended up paying for a guided tour which was much better
Great value! Awesome way to spend a day with your family.

5.00I felt the tour was a very good value and way better than I expected. It was nice to stop and have a snack or a lunch break. It’s also a super long tour. I didn’t know I was going to Bunker Hill. It was a bonus.
Good tour

4.00Was difficult following directions to get to where the tour started. I booked it and wanted to use on my boyfriend's phone but it was impossible so I had to buy it a second time with his name on his phone to actually use it. The Freedom Trail line really helped us navigate and the arrow in the app helps too. Very difficult to hear unless you're using headphones because of all the traffic noise. Otherwise a good historical telling of all the sites.
So so in Boston

3.00The tour was good. The large numbers of people and traffic made it uncomfortable and hectic. It was hard to get pictures due to the crowds. Beantown Pub was referred to us but the food was just ok, got the fish and chips but fish was not fresh. Very disappointed for the price. Did a tour in Salem the next day and was much happier. Smaller crowds and much more relaxed atmosphere.
