Everything about Concord is charming. We saw the homes of Louisa May Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Minuteman statue at North Bridge, and the vibrant downtown. But the highlight was the Concord Museum with it's map showing the full battle and troop movements of both sides along with a minute by minute timeline. The rest of the museum held so much information on the Revolutionary War, the men and women of Concord who were active in the Rebellion, and the detailed glimpses of life in those times. The museum has been voted "The Best Small Town Museum in the US" by USA Tody. We agreed whole heartedly.

The app had a lot of information but it "frooze" multiple times. Lost sound once and had to reboot my phone, other times it "froze" while giving driving directions. A little irritating when you have to stop and fix it.

Audio tour worked well for all three of us! Did a combination of the walking and driving portions. We spent about 3 hours using the tour app. This nicely supplemented our visit to the Concord/Lexington area.

Enjoyed a walking/driving history lesson with flexibility to go at our own pace. Liked the bonus stories offered during the tour.

Very boring. The tape did not work well. It would give information that did not correspond with the current location. This made it very confusing. On a few occasions it match tape to building.

Rental car audio a little challenging, but doable... definitely cheaper than other tours. Blah, blah, blah.... ... . ..............

We used it as an overview of area highlights and things we wanted to go back to for more time. Lovely drive in the summertime. It was overcast and quite humid so we limited the walking somewhat.

Great experience. Perfect length. Needs to be updated. All of the sites were open and tour said they were closed. Overall, well done

We used this auto app in conjuntion with the NPS app to gain more information as we traveled along MA 2A to see the sites at Lexington and Concord. It worked beautifully, but we found that traffic along 2A was heavy and pushing us to go faster than we really wanted to. At times, we missed the ending of one description because the next description began at the next point of interest. Ultimately, we just pulled over a lot to hear all that was said. The information was good, though it implied that Gen Thomas Gage was actually leading the battles, rather than his officers Smith, Pitcairn, and Percy.

Due to some sights being closed, there was only one part of the tour that involved any walking, and that was at the very beginning - to see the North Bridge. So was quirky - kept replaying parts previously heard. There was less content than I had expected.
