1.00We have participated in many food walking tours in our many travels. Some were great and others not so great. This was one of the worst. While our tour guide was adequate, we simply did not get what we paid for. The serving portions were insufficient and the tour was advertised as approximately 3.5 hours but barely lasted 2 hours. I expressed our discontent with Viator and asked for a partial refund for the reasons stated above and was told the tour operator declined the partial refund request. Will not use this tour operator in the future.
It was very, very good!...

5.00Our tour guide Sean D did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable and made all of us feel welcomed. He knew all of our names from the beginning of the tour. He went above and beyond his tour duties. We would highly recommend him.

5.00Gabe fed us so much good food and he shared a lot of history about the places we visited. He knew about the original owners and how the business was passed down to the current owner. He did share the ‘best of the best’ on the tour. I really enjoyed it.

5.00My family of five participated in the North End Food Tour on Sunday November 2. Kyle was our guide. He was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about our food tastings and the City of Boston in general. A real nice guy too. I am a 61 year old and I didn’t find the amount of walking to be overly excessive at all. All the food was very tasty. If I was to nitpick I would say the serving size of the lobster roll was too small. I am not asking for a full roll but I think we were served 1/3 of a roll. It was delicious. Just small. Especially for the high price we paid. That being said I can highly endorse this tour.
Great guide, good food!!!

5.00Chloe was a fantastic tour guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable and very upbeat. This tour brought us to some of the best eating establishments that we never would have found otherwise. Starting with clam chowder and cornbread, we were then indulged with the most amazing lobster roll, a popover and samples of various flavoured pecans and almonds! You can bet we certainly bought some to take home! After that we were treated to cannoli, then we ventured over to Regina’s for pizza, and we chased that with tiramisu! We were so satisfied and would definitely do a food tour again!
