A late-morning light slants across the red brick path of the Freedom Trail as footsteps and ferry horns stitch together a very Boston soundtrack. The self-guided audio bundle drops you into that rhythm—start at Boston Common, follow the red bricks past the State House’s golden dome, pause at Faneuil Hall for market smells, then continue to the North End’s narrow lanes where history feels immediate.

Download before you go

Share wisely
Purchase is per car—use a splitter or share earbuds for walking segments to save money and sync commentary.
Mind the crowds
Plan Freedom Trail walking for early morning or late afternoon to dodge peak tourist flow around Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market.

Park-and-walk is limited in Cambridge—consider the T or a short ride to Harvard Square to avoid parking hassles.
Smartphone with Action Tour Guide app

Earbuds or small speaker
Clear audio makes narratives easier to follow in noisy urban settings.
