We stroll rain or shine. Our guides have extra umbrellas to share with the group.

We will cancel if weather becomes dangerous which includes thunderstorms, blizzards, temperatures exceeding 104 F (40 C) or falling below 23 F (- 5 C).

We’ll notify you at least 2 hours in advance if a cancellation is necessary, and you’ll be offered a refund or reschedule.

We will have arrangements for an indoor location for the candle lighting ceremony, but please be patient if our partners cannot accommodate us due to circumstances beyond Scroll & Stroll Tours control.

If you use a wheelchair or have special mobility needs, please contact us at booking. The standard starting point for America’s Anniversary is up a terrace only accessible by stairs, but we can easily shift the start for your tour to the side walk at 60 State Street. The experience & storytelling will not be impacted. Just note the Scroll of Sights won’t be as close to Faneuil Hall when sharing the following 2 pictures.

We plan our routes to be accessible to be flat and follow nice even pavement. It is our pleasure to be inclusive of all people in celebrating America’s Anniversary. If you have any special needs, please contact us. It is ou pleasure to accommodate!

Please wear weather-appropriate gear and comfortable shoes. Windbreakers are recommended in Spring and Fall. Downtown Boston is extremely windy and shady, so anticipate temperatures which are significantly cooler than surrounding areas.

A water bottle is recommended on hot days.

Of course! Your guide is happy to take a photo of your group in any of the scenic locations visited.

For public tours, please provide 4 hours notice prior to your scheduled tour date and time to secure a full refund. Cancellations or no-shows result in loss of tour payment. For private tours, full refunds are possible with at least 24 hours advance notice. Detailed terms and conditions can be found in our ticketing page.

Yes, Scroll & Stroll Tours is a young small business and is too poor to pay guides the salary they deserve. Gratuities or tips are dearly appreciated at the end of a tour. There is no pressure if you feel your guide is not deserving, but please let us know what could be improved for future groups here.

Cash tips and Venmo are preferred. Your guide can process credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and foreign payment methods via their Stripe web store.

TBD for America’s Anniversary. We will carry extra drinking water if you need a refill at any point during the tour.

Nobody loves Boston more than we do. That’s why we go to tireless efforts to colorize historic photos, build our own props, do our own research and haul a television up and down 4 flights of stairs in an apartment building lacking an elevator. Living in this city is incredible & fuels our guides excitement to share the cities greatest sights with you!
