Boston By Foot recently held its graduation ceremony for its newest class of guides. The event was held on Tuesday, June 11th at Old North Church in Boston's North End.

Thirty-six new tour guides were officially welcomed into BBF's vibrant and close-knit community of over 200 lifelong learners who share a passion for one of America’s oldest cities.

Each member of the Class of 2024 completed a seven-week Guide Training Program that began in mid-March.

Their training included:

• Learning how to guide tours about Boston’s diverse cultures, history and architecture
• Inspiring discovery and appreciation of Boston
• On-line learning modules on Boston history, architecture, tour guide foundations, and storytelling
• In-person skills practice groups, led by experienced Boston By Foot guides
• Boston By Foot demo tours showcasing tours that first-year volunteers learn
• Community, camaraderie, mentorship and support

Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
