tring Posted July 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I have seen this posted on a group I belong to elsewhere. https://www.thefreedomtrail.org/tours/freedom-trail-tour-app?fbclid=IwAR20FXss5kAFw8_H_9QHD7kdpqNtg_moj_Ch9FmzmEMXnyAzL_v0KgCDna8 Is it an official Boston thing, or is it just another tour company providing a paid for item. Either way, I would be interested if anyone has used it, and if so, can I ask if they would recommend it? Also, once it is downloaded, do you need to be connected to the internet for it to run?

mdj59 Posted July 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The National Park Service has a free app. Download it, look under Boston, and you can choose the Freedom Trail (as well as others) under self-guided tours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Viajera Posted July 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It has an audio section to have the route read to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Viajera Posted August 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I just open the app, look for the self-guided tour and open that. At the bottom of the page it has ‘start audio tour.’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Viajera Posted August 8, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I don’t know. I did notice that it does not include all of the stops and audio mode. A lot of the stops are just to read on your own with the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisCruiser2 Posted August 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 19, 2023 There also are "Interpreters," people dressed in Colonial garb, at various places along the Trail. I believe the Park Service may do a guided tour also, but have never looked into it. Note that the Old South Meeting House and Old State House charge a fee to enter (you can buy the tickets online, special price for both). I can't remember if the Old North Meeting House does, too. Make sure to stop at Mike's Bakery in the North End! Also, if you're looking for good lobster rolls at a "non-touristy" place, try Pauli's, on Salem St, just after you cross the Rose Kennedy Greenway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
