Frequently asked questions about audio tours of Boston
Is there a self-guided audio tour of Boston?
Yes. Avsha generates a personalized, self-guided audio tour of Boston on the fly — press play and it narrates a story about wherever you're standing, from Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, Boston Common to a quiet corner of Beacon Hill. No fixed route, no guide, and it works on any street, not just the famous ones.
What's the best free audio tour app for Boston?
Avsha is free to start (3 stories, no signup) and built for Boston: it tailors each story to your interests, travel mode and language (60+ supported), and never repeats. Unlike a fixed catalog of a few recorded stops, it can tell the story of any spot in the city.
Can I use it offline while walking around Boston?
Yes — with Trip Packs you download stories over WiFi before you go and listen anywhere in Boston, even in airplane mode or with no signal.
Do I need to book a tour or follow a set path in Boston?
No. Avsha isn't a scheduled walking tour — just open it wherever you are in Boston and press play. Wander Beacon Hill, double back, or stand in front of the Freedom Trail and it adapts to you in real time.
How much does an audio tour of Boston cost?
It's free to try. After your first few stories you can top up with an affordable credit pack or go Pro for unlimited exploring — far less than a guided Boston walking tour, and yours to use anywhere in the world.
