PROFESSIONAL TOURS

There’s no better way to experience Boston than with a professional tour sponsored by the Boston Society of Architects/AIA. With more than 75 tours to choose from, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to really immerse yourself in Boston’s incredible diversity of architecture and infrastructure—from magnificent Beacon Hill mansions to incredible Big Dig tunnels. The best part is all tours offer learning units, which makes them even more of an A-list activity when you’re here for the convention.

GUEST TOURS

Guest tours give you and your family members a chance to experience Boston while you’re at the convention. Sponsored by the Boston Society of Architects/AIA, the tours include a range of activities and sights, from tours of Fenway Park or Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace to a visit to the recently redesigned Boston Children’s Museum. For the more athletically inclined, there’s a chance to go kayaking on the Charles River or join in several fun runs near Boston Harbor.
