    Freedom Trail, Boston MA
    I loved the ability to hear about the history along the Freedom Trail in Boston. It was an enjoyable listen. The timing and ability to pause was very helpful. No map needed, as everything was as stated in the Audio Tour.

    Spooky Self Guided Tour
    This was such a great way to do a tour on your own time! Interactive with how you walk and the spooky music added a nice touch to the experience. Highly recommend for the price!! I am looking to get an annual membership to the Walkntours app as I travel for work and want to explore the cities I'm in when I have time.

    Freedom Trail Selfie
    My husband and I loved this audio tour! It was so thorough and we could pause along the way which was perfect. Highly recommend skipping the large crowds and do this on your own.

    Excellent option for the Boston Freedom Trail
    The audio tour was very informative with some humor. It was nice to be able to move along at our own pace. I also liked the fact that you get two downloads for the price. My wife and I were both able to load it on our phones.

    Interesting and informative with some humour.
    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the audio Freedom Trail Walking Tour and I can confidently say it was an exceptional blend of education, entertainment, and exploration. From start to finish, this trail transformed a mundane walk into an engaging adventure, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

    2 people can share a single download!
    Information was good, directions are good. The app will significantly discharge your phone between location/map usage and being opened for 3 to 4 hours. I doubt seriously you could do this trip any quicker. It is a good value. It was not obvious, but 2 people (2 phones) can share one download ($8) . Heads up!

    Spooky & Self-Guided in Salem
    This was great! So fun, we learned a lot, loved the spOoOoky sounds, and could go at our own pace. And the price was really great too! Can’t wait to do these tours more in other cities around the world. Thank you!

    So worth every penny
    This was worth the $$. My husband and I were in for two days and decided this was something we wanted to do. It was about $8.00pp and it downloaded to two phones. I love the fact you can do this at your own pace. We started at 9am and were done by 4:30 that day. We took our time and stopped at certain places (like graveyards) to read and take photos). Once we got to Quincy market we stopped for a light lunch then started the rest. It was easy to use and very informative. Worth the time and $$

Loved the tours, nice mix of historical facts and legends, with nice touches of humour. Loved the fact that the tours allowed us to proceed at our own pace, allowing side visits to the many boutiques and even a bite (a huge one) at Red’s sandwich. Would definitely recommend to everyone who loves history, walking and doing so on your own and not corralled into a group. Discovered Walkntours with the Freedom trail last year and was as happy with the tours in Salem.
