JM Walking Tours, LLC
About
JM Walking Tours leads guided walks through Boston’s Back Bay, with routes along the tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue Mall or fashionable Newbury Street. Guide Janine tells the story of how the neighborhood rose, literally, from a tidal swamp through its landfill beginnings, and points out the beautiful brownstones and Victorian-inspired architecture along the way. The Commonwealth Avenue Mall, the centerpiece of the Back Bay, is the setting for the signature walk.
The tours cover Boston’s history of innovation, culture, activism and community from the 1850s to the present day, along with the contributions of famous figures connected to the neighborhood. Reviewers describe the walks as informative, full of humor and easy to follow, and residents of the neighborhood say they gained a new appreciation for the history and architecture around them.
