My sister and our husbands took a trip to Boston and wanted to walk the freedom trail at out own pace. This guide was WONDERFUL! The map was intuitive and knew when we were passing a landmark on the trail and would just start talking. Very informative and WAY cheaper than paying for a group guide. I definitely recommend if you’re wanting to walk the trail!

We loved doing the self-guided walking tour of the Freedom Trail. It was the perfect way to explore Boston’s historic sites without feeling rushed by a large group. The self-guided map was very easy to follow, taking us through all the major Revolutionary War landmarks like the Paul Revere House and the USS Constitution. Being able to stop for photos whenever we wanted made it a much better experience than a formal tour. If you're looking for an affordable Boston tour that hits all the Freedom Trail highlights, definitely go the self-guided route!
