Belle Isle Marsh / Orient Heights Walking Tour Guide

Join us for a walk along the one of the least visited neighborhoods in Boston! Bring guests to the Belle Isle Marsh; a tidal salt marsh which is a glimpse into the historical appearance of the pre-settled Boston area, with beautiful oceanic sights year-round and opportunities to see rare and endangered species! From there, walk through the little-known-about Orient Heights neighborhood and visit a hidden gem; the Queen of the Universe Shrine! The views from the shrine are spectacular! You'll discuss the immigrant history of East Boston, and the interesting engineering that went into expanding Boston's terrain. Information will be provided.
