Boston By Foot slide lectures are educational presentations designed to promote awareness of Boston's rich cultural heritage. Unlike our walks, the lectures require absolutely no footwork! A knowledgeable Boston By Slide guide will arrive at your location with the slides, the projector, and a great enthusiasm for the subject.

The fee for armchair slide lectures is $150 per group for a 50 minute presentation.
