The app was slightly confusing to download and to start using. It took awhile to figure it out with my confirmation code, etc. Once downloaded, the narrator's voice was super clear and understandable. Both me and my husband downloaded the app. His worked well. I had to manually press the forward button when I reached the next site. The map didn't always read where I was, and I had to forward and replay when it stopped mid-story. Other than that, I did like it. We saw alot and learned quite a bit. I would recommend it. Especially, if you want to go your own pace and make quick stops in between to go eat or drink, etc. Start mid-morning. It was a great day!

OK, this is the first time I did this. Lucky to say they have made me a believer. The app worked perfectly. I practiced a couple of times before arriving in Boston. If you want a pleasant funny and detailed account of the Freedom Trail, this is the tour for you. The directions are easy. The speaker clear and informative. The descriptions of the 16 sites are detailed and poignant. It took. 2 1/2 hours to go through them all. So fun and informative. I did it alone so I was at my own pace. Looking forward to using this app again.
