Did you know that 150 years ago, the Charles River ran through what is now Back Bay? Or that you can still see bald eagles on the Esplanade?
If not, come learn about the history, wildlife, trees, and gardens of Boston’s premier riverside park. The Esplanade Association is excited to offer free guided walking tours on the Esplanade to share the park’s amazing stories, plants, and wildlife. Guided walking tours will last about an hour-and-a-half and cover roughly a mile of the Esplanade and over 150 years of history!
Additional tours can also be scheduled for a nominal donation, $15 per person for individual/nonprofit organizations and $25 per person for corporate groups. If you’d like to learn more, please contact Programs & Culture Coordinator, Pablo Brenes-Coto, at pbrenescoto@esplanadeassociation.org.
