FAQ

How far / long is the tour?

BE PREPARED TO WALK!  The tour covers 3.5 (mostly flat) miles.  Crowds, traffic, and pacing vary from group to group but we usually finish in about 3:45 minutes inclusive of a 15 minute break at the midpoint.  A buffer between any subsequent plans is highly recommended. ​

Is this tour appropriate for children?

The tour is targeted for adults and too sophisticated for young children.  There's no costume or dress up!  I don't simplify or soften the material but every child is different and every parent knows theirs best.  Enthusiasm of any age is welcome!​

Is this tour appropriate for non-Americans?

​This tour covers myths and folklore familiar to every American, but it is arranged so even people new to the story can follow the action.  I don't take sides and try to capture the outsiders perspective.  Fluency in English is the only requirement.

What do we do in case of bad weather?

Weather in Boston is notoriously difficult to predict.  Refunds are provided with 24 hours advanced notice and I try to give updates ahead of time so you can manage plans accordingly.  Light rain or regular chill we will proceed.  High winds, freezing cold, or heavy rain can result in a cancellation.   (with full refund)​

Where do we end?

 The tour ends at Christopher Columbus Park - in between Quincy Market (souvenirs), the North End (restaurants), and the Aquarium (subway & ferry)
