Boston Freedom Trail Self-Guided Tour (Start at Boston Common). Walk the iconic Freedom Trail and relive the events that sparked the American Revolution. This red-brick path through Boston connects 16 historic sites—and with the Shaka Guide app, you’ll get a self-guided tour that’s designed to make exploring easy, engaging, and seamless—something many other apps can’t match.

Wondering where the Freedom Trail starts? We'll begin at Boston Common, America’s oldest public park, and follow the route with step-by-step guidance from the app. As you walk, audio automatically plays with stories, directions, and tips—so you’ll always know exactly where to go and what to see, without relying on a paper map or guessing along the way.

This isn’t just a walk—it’s a fully guided experience that brings the people, places, and pivotal moments of the Revolution to life, all at your own pace.

Here are just a few of the top stops on the tour:

• Walk through Boston Common, the historic starting point of the Freedom Trail
• Visit the Massachusetts State House with its iconic golden dome
• Explore Granary Burying Ground, final resting place of Revolutionary figures
• See King’s Chapel and its historic burying ground
• Stop at Old South Meeting House, where the Boston Tea Party began

Love Shaka Guides!

I’m I. The middle of a solo road trip to several of the national parks out west. Shaka Guides have been the best companion! Turn for turn directions are spot on; I know what sites are coming up without having to shuffle around a map while driving; and the stories and facts are great! Also enjoying the music on between! I highly recommend Shaka Guides to everyone, but especially solo travelers!!

Audio tour

The app is constructed professionally. The guide offered practical advice to tour national parks with good recommendations of what to see and what to skip. The app has a CarPlay app so the map is easy to follow. The map lags a tiny bit so it is good to follow audio instructions for turns before the map shows the turn.
