My best friend and I started our first day in Boston on this tour with Conner! The tour had great information, easy walk, and delicious food! We loved that all the food spots were local, NOT the tourist traps 🫶🏽 Conner was the best part though! Suuuuper friendly and full of amazing recommendations, really a ray of sunshine. Thank you so so much!
All the food tastings were delicious and it was a good mix of sweet and savory. The tour involved a decent amount of walking and the kids started to get tired at the end so I recommend not doing another activity with a lot of walking before this tour. Also come with an empty stomach! Our guide Conner was fabulous and taught us a lot about the area and context for the food tastings.
Great experience tour guide Ilan was great all the food was awesome!
Fun walking tour combining food and history. Our tour guide Adam was terrific, fun and knowledgeable!
Great info, entertainment, and knowledge.
We really enjoyed our tour!! Claire was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions; she was also very accommodating to our needs which we very much appreciated! The food was delicious and we really enjoyed going to places we wouldn’t typically know to go to, hidden local gems. We loved hearing the history of the north end and Boston in general. Highly recommend!
