Boston By Foot's North End tour was recently featured in a heartfelt Boston Globe column by Yvonne Abraham, who explores how volunteer guide Feargal O'Toole uses the neighborhood's immigrant history to offer perspective, resilience, and hope.

Celebrating our 50th anniversary, we're honored to share the stories that connect Boston's past to the present and remind us of what people can achieve, even in difficult times.

BBF’s Executive Director Samantha Nelson and our esteemed volunteer guides, Kevin Bleyle and Alice Brown, were also featured on WCVB Chronicle as one of the best ways to experience Boston beyond the typical tourist stops. The segment highlights our volunteers and their guided walking tours, which bring the city's history to life through stories of its neighborhoods, architecture, people, and culture.

Nelson also joined Kim Carrigan on Carrigan & Co. to discuss what makes a Boston By Foot tour such a unique experience, share some of her favorite tours, and reflect on the stories that make Boston — and Boston By Foot — so special.
