BOSTON TOUR GUIDE OF DOWNTOWN PARKS. A Self-guided Audio/Visual Walking Tour--CD includes files to transfer to your cell-phone, iPod, or to print. Review

This is a great tour! I bought it for a business trip to Boston, and stayed an extra day to take the tour. I'm glad I did - this tour is much more than just a walk in the park - it's filled with the kind of history that only Boston can offer. If you're a history buff like me, you won't be able to resist the Paul Revere house, the Old North Church, the Old State House, Faneuil Hall, and many others so significant to the history of the U. S. and the world. The author not only leads us to each, but shares some little-known facts and stories about them as well. It's a considerable walk - bring your hiking shoes, but there's plenty of opportunity to stop and savor the sights, sounds, and tastes of both the historical and modern parts of this city. You'll be glad you took the time out to experience Boston in such a personal way.
