About Us:

Boston By Foot is dedicated to promoting public awareness and appreciation of Boston's rich history and architectural heritage by offering a wide range of guided tours and programs conducted by a dedicated corps of highly-trained and enthusiastic volunteer tour guides.

Inspired by America’s Bicentennial, Boston By Foot has presented engaging and thought-provoking tours of Boston since 1976. We are a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit committed to promoting broader public awareness of Boston’s history and architecture.  We encourage you to experience the city’s diverse past with a view to its vast potential.  Our tours are delivered by a community of over 200 volunteer tour guides, many of whom have served Boston By Foot for more than 10 to as many as 40 years.
