Boston By Foot, Inc.
About
Boston By Foot is a nonprofit educational organization that leads in-depth historical and architectural walking tours through Boston’s neighborhoods. Its tours explore the city’s layered past and present, from classic routes to special topics such as the North End as Boston’s immigration gateway, East Boston’s Maverick Square, and the evolution of Fort Point and the South Boston waterfront.
