Ryan has put together a terrific food tour in Beacon. Great and varied sampling of food- from cheese steaks to olive oil and balsamic vinegar, to smoothies, and amazing chocolate, capped off with a tea tasting. And interesting bits of Beacon history for good measure. Ryan is an engaging and enthusiastic guide. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon! Highly recommended
Exce!!

Ryan was an excellent guide. Deep historical knowledge and kept us listening for the entire tour. Tasty food selection. Food highlights : cheesesteak at Beacon Bread Company, donuts at Glazed Over Donuts, and chocolate at Hakan Chocolatier! All amazing! Charming town to walk around. We will be returning there.
