Meeting Location: The tour will meet on the NW corner of State and Congress Streets, across from the Old State House outside 28 State Street. Your Boston CityWalks Tour Guide will have either a dark shirt or jacket with the "Boston CityWalks" name and a dark blue "Boston CityWalks" cap.
What to Wear
You will be outside for much of the tour, so dress for the forecasted weather! We recommend layers, as the temperatures can become higher throughout the day. (It's easy to peel a layer off!)
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
On sunny days, we suggest you use sunscreen. Hats and sunglasses can also be helpful.
If the weather forecast calls for rain or showers, rain jackets, umbrellas and hats can help. On most tours, the guide will have emergency ponchos available in case of unexpected inclement weather.
What to Bring/What Not to Bring
We suggest you bring a bottle of water with you. These can also be purchased at street vendors along the way. (If you intend to purchase water, be sure to bring some extra cash!)
If you have young children, it is highly recommended that you bring a folding carriage with you, as kids do get tired along the way.
And of course, BRING YOUR CAMERA!!
