Wisdom Walks

Boston By Foot is proud to offer enriching tour experiences that spark curiosity and conversation. Our tours enable people to come together for a shared social experience, gain a deeper understanding of our city’s history, and get some light exercise at the same time.

With special consideration for small senior groups, or groups who are looking for a more social experience, we have adapted a selection of our tours. These tours are slower paced to allow time for discussion, reflection and socializing during and after the tour. Our guides will facilitate engaging conversations about the city’s historic sites and stories, with a special focus on honoring seniors’ knowledge and lived experiences and inviting them to share their stories.

With the support of Boston’s Age Strong commission, BBF is able to offer a limited number of these tour experiences for free to senior groups who live in the City of Boston. Small stipends are available to assist with transportation if needed. Please inquire when you request your tour.

The following tours are available in this adapted format. With our commitment to IDEA principles all of our guides are trained to make Boston By Foot tours accessible to people of all abilities, including people with mobility, vision and hearing challenges.
