Sights to see in Boston
Saturday Evening Walking Tour Through Boston
After the last session on Saturday June 29th, local volunteers will offer a free walking tour through scenic areas of Boston: Back Bay, Boston Commons, State House and Beacon Hill, and a short portion of the Freedom Trail. The estimated total walking distance is 2.5 miles (4 km). There are options to finish either at Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall (small shops, eateries and sit-down restaurants) or at the North End (the traditional Italian neighborhood with many excellent restaurants). Participants will be organized into smaller groups, with a local person leading each group.
