The Shaka Guide Freedom Trail Tour in Boston, Massachusetts, literally walks you through the historic events that led up to the American Revolution and our country’s ultimate freedom from British rule. The Freedom Trail is the birthplace of American liberty and is also historic in many other ways. Along this tour, you’ll meet the patriots who rose to the challenge — ordinary people who succeeded under extraordinary circumstances to fight for the freedom we know today.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

• Stroll through Boston Common, America’s oldest public park with rich history.
• Visit the Massachusetts State House for its golden dome and historic significance.
• Explore Granary Burying Ground, the resting place of famous Revolutionary figures.
• See King’s Chapel and Burying Ground, home to Boston’s oldest graves.
• Stop by Old South Meeting House, where colonists planned the Boston Tea Party.

Greatest Tour Guide

The best informative way to travel and learn about our great country and its history. Visit the national parks with an expert! We will be buying more of these programs! Loved the way it followed our journey and how accurate and interesting the content was on the app.

Bapa in retirement | 2 days ago | iOS

We used shaka guides for our Road to Hana trip in Hawaii years ago and we couldn't be happier with the Big Bend bend tour we just finished. It's a great mix of way finding, cool facts and really nice music for the time spent in the car. It helped us spend our time wisely so that we didn't stop for every little thing we didn't have time for. The only problem is that now we need to re-visit all the OTHER national parks to use the Shaka Guides! 10/10

we have used this app for six national parks now. it has become as much of a staple of the drive. has the bag of chips in the backseat. can't imagine doing a drip without him at this point. awesome app well worth it and the fact that it's not a subscription. it's one and done. these guys are the greatest. don't hesitate buy it now
