This was the most enjoyable and informative tour we’ve been on. Our tour guide Sean D, went above and beyond. Make sure you go hungry, we certainly didn’t need dinner after this tour! Highly recommend.

We turned up on a very cold and snowy January day and our guide, Sean D, met us with warmth and energy. We spent several hours sampling amazing food and hearing tales of the area and its history. A phenomenal experience and Sean’s passion and knowledge made the experience. The cannolis were a highlight! I absolutely recommend the tour and thanks again Sean!

This food tour was truly the highlight of our trip to Boston! Our guide, Sean D., was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories that made the city’s history come alive while also being very helpful and welcoming. The food was amazing, from classic clam chowder and lobster rolls to cannolis, pizza, and tiramisu and each stop felt thoughtfully chosen. It felt like being shown around by a local friend, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston.

Sean D. Was a great tour guide. He went above and beyond and personalized the tour to add information based on myself and two teen boys. There was more than enough food and we had time to spend at each location to relax and enjoy the food. I would definitely recommend this tour!
