Most of the tour is accessible to strollers and we do recommend them for small children. Please keep in mind, however, that many areas are uneven and there is one set of stairs, but you should be able to carry your children over these short distances.

We pass through many old, historic areas with brick and cobblestone paving that can be uneven and make travel in a wheelchair difficult. However, we will do all we can to accomodate everyone in the group.

Absolutely! Boston is full of little known secrets and treasures. Its nooks and crannies provide a wealth of sights and stories that go along with them.
