The tracking through the GPS was spot on and it was having all the information provided on all the points!!!”\n\n“I did not know a lot about the American revolutionary war and without overwhelming me, it brought the events of the time to life for me”\n\n\"The freedom trail tour was great. Wife and I shared a pair of wireless earbuds which I recommend. The tour is broken into many small sections which automatically stayed as we walked to the next point on the trail. It all worked perfectly, was extremely easy to use and very informative.\n\n\nAPP FEATURES:\n\n■ Award-winning platform\nThe app, which has been featured on Thrillist, received the famed “Laurel Award” from the Newport Mansions, who use Action Tour Guide for over a million tours per year.\n\n■ Plays automatically\nThe app knows where you are and which direction you are heading, and plays audio automatically about the things you are seeing, plus stories and tips and advice.

The stories are professionally narrated and prepared by local guides. Most stops also have additional stories that you can optionally choose to hear.\n\n■ Works offline\nNo data, cellular or even wireless network connection needed while taking the tour. Download over Wi-Fi/Data Network before your tour. \n\n■ Freedom of travel\nExplore on your own time, at your own pace, and with the flexibility to linger at stops that interest you. You have total freedom to skip ahead, stop and restart, and take as many photos as you’d like.\n\nFREE DEMO vs FULL ACCESS:\n\nCheck out the free demo to get an idea of what this tour is all about.
