Alex was a great guide. We did the whole tour in the rain, we can’t help the weather, and she was a super trooper. We had all indoor tastings and all delicious. Will highly recommend this tour to get to know the area, it’s history and some delicious food
Great way to get to know the neighborhood.

Instead of brunch on Mother's Day, my husband and I did this tour. Really enjoyed it. Got to know some restaurants we weren't aware of (can't wait to go to Juliet and El Potro) and who knew that toasted fluff on a ice cream cone would be so good. Emily our guide was wonderful. Highly recommend this and can't wait to do another tour.

My partner and I had an absolute blast on Emily's Davis Square food tour. She was so friendly and genuine and had a wonderful way of telling stories about the places we visited and history of the area in between food stops. The portions that you get on the tour are surprisingly substantial and so delicious! My favorite part of the tour was finding new favorites in Davis, which is a place I have frequented for years and years. I am still dreaming about the sriracha fried egg savory oat bowl that I had at Oat Shop. It was heavenly. A game changer! We went back to Curios, a spice shop from our tour, to pick up special spice mixes from places we had traveled to and to get as gifts for our traveler friends. We also revisited Spindler Confections since the tour and brought some guests who were in town to pick up some of the incredible handmade caramel swirls we tried. They ended up buying tons of the sweets, which are a good price for the quality. I highly recommend trying out one of the tours. I hope that I can make it out to some in other neighborhoods in the future!
Awesome food, excellent information!

I did the Off The Beaten Path, Somerville food tour with our wonderful guide, Emily, a couple of weeks ago. The first stop was a yummy oat based cafe, serving both sweet and savoury oat dishes. They were both filling and delicious. We moved onto Flatbread Co for some of the best pizza I have tasted in the US and some super fun Candlepin Bowling. We went on to 3 more destinations before the conclusion of the tour. Emily was so friendly and more than happy to answer any questions we had. Definitely recommend. Pro Top - don't eat before you go :-)
