While all of our learning adventures offer extraordinary value, our "Best Value" programs were rated by our participants themselves who thought their dollar went particularly far.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
John Winthrop famously christened the young Boston a “city upon a hill” upon which the “eyes of all people” would be trained. Since his 1630 sermon, Beantown has certainly lived up to his lofty proclamation. Walk the Freedom Trail and trace the story of America’s birth to Faneuil Hall, Old North Church and many other key sites. Enjoy insider experiences of Boston’s famous arts institutions and cultural treasures and embark on multiple expert-led field trips.


Highlights

• Behind the scenes of Boston’s Symphony Hall, converse with a member of the Orchestra and enjoy an evening concert.
• Cruise the Charles River Locks and explore Boston harbor, Bunker Hill Monument and Charlestown Naval Yard.
• Discover the artistic masterpieces on display at the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Activity Notes

Walking up to two miles per day, some uneven surfaces. Must be able to climb stairs as there is extensive use of public transportation for field trips.
