Walk in Boston, 18 unusual self-guided tours

Walk in Boston, the map

Interested in discovering Boston hidden gems and must-see places by following curated self-guided walking tours?

This map shows you approximatively where you can go in the city to do that🏙️. Each walk has a number.

Once you know where you want to go, find the walk by looking:
  • on the right of the screen ⇉ if you are using a computer.
  • at the bottom of the page ⇊ if you are using a phone or tablet.

You will then have its title with the name of the neighborhood(s) 🏤you are going to explore. If you follow the link, you'll have much more details about its content. 

On the Home page, you'll find more general information about these walks and their philosophy. You'll also know how to contact their author and how to learn something about him❓.

On the Boston page, you will have an introduction to the city, information on its weather🕶️, its public transport🚊 and some of its specialties🍔.

Good to know:

If you purchase all 18 self-guided tours for a reduced price, it will also be a good travel book and/or an original gift.  

If you take walks 8, 10, 13, 14, also for a special price, they will allow you to explore most of Boston in a few days if it is your first visit to the city (and you can add a walk along The Freedom Trail to complete your discovery).

​If you want only loop tours -useful if you park a car along the way, you'll find an offer for them too.

Where to start🏁:
​

Walks 8, 10 (or 11), (12 and/or) 13 and 14 as explained above are a good way to start exploring Boston.

Walk 15 brings you to a charming historic neighborhood and if you like to visit art galleries, you'll find plenty there.

Walk 5 goes to the site of the 1st Boston settlement in a neighborhood reminiscent of Beacon Hill. It allows you to visit two National Historical Parks, then take a ferry to get to Walk 14.

Walk 4 and 18 go to Cambridge, on the other side of the Charles River, to visit two famous universities, MIT and Harvard.

The other walks have all their own charm and are in less travelled parts of the city. It's where you'll have more chance to see local people going about their life.

I bought these 18 tours a few months ago when my wife and I retired not far from Boston and we have done a few of them already. We like them, it's a good way to go places we surely wouldn't go otherwise and when we are tired of walking, we stop. We expect to eventually finish all of them from beginning to end but we are in no hurry! It's fun to explore. Thanks, Dominique
for all this work.
