True Lies & False Facts: A Questionable Tour of Boston

Join Boston By Foot for a unique walking tour of Boston that
will keep participants on their toes. Called True Lies & False Facts, this questionable tour starts outside the BPL at the corner of Dartmouth and Boylston Streets (near Copley T stop) and winds its way around the Back Bay and Bay Village. Lasting an hour and a half, the tour will tell some wild and amazing stories about local characters, unlikely events and unwanted pests – some of which are true and others are not. Developed as a fun way to celebrate April Fools Day, the tour is meant to test the participants’ knowledge of history and ability to separate the truth from fiction. The tour also operates as a fun competition. Every tour participant will get a score card to keep  track of the stories and their choices of whether the stories are true or false. After the tour, participants are invited to come to Jacob Wirth’s to grab a drink at a cash bar, enjoy some snacks, and get the real skinny on if what they heard was fact or fiction. There are some nice prizes for those who guess best.
Reservations are highly recommended as tickets will be limited. The cost to join this annual tour is $20 for the general public (or $10 for members of Boston By Foot). Please make a reservation by calling 617-367-2345 or buying tickets on-line at www.bostonbyfoot.org. Walk-ups are also welcome if there are tickets left but only cash will be accepted on the day of the tour. The tour will proceed rain or shine.
