Self Guided Classic Freedom Trail Location Aware (GPS) Walking Audio Tour

3.Self Guided Classic Freedom Trail Location Aware (GPS) Walking Audio Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 258 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $7

Use the WalknTours app to follow Boston’s Freedom Trail from Boston Common through the historic center, North End, and Charlestown. English audio brings the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere, Bunker Hill, and the USS Constitution to life. The tour has no fixed finish time, never expires, and can also be replayed as a virtual tour.

“We needed help finding the tour on the app and downloading it but that might be because my sister and I are in our 70s. It started off well, but on my iPhone 16 it kept crashing and I needed to restart it. My sister didn’t experience that same issue on an older iPhone (not sure what version). We ended up just sharing the app from her phone until batteries on both our phones died. They were fully charged when we started the tour.”
