Boston’s story didn’t end with the American Revolution—it only got more delicious. Shaped by waves of immigration, global trade, and constant innovation, Boston and its food have evolved.

On this walking tour, you’ll explore Boston’s rich history through the lens of what its people have harvested, eaten, and produced—from pre-Colonial Native Americans to the 20th century. Discover how molasses fueled candy and commerce, cod fed empires, science expanded diets, and tea sparked revolution. We’ll taste classic New England dishes and modern Boston favorites, plus some sweet surprises you might not realize have local roots! If you’re hungry to go beyond the Freedom Trail and experience Boston’s history through its flavors, this tour is for you. Bring your appetite and your walking shoes.

Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Cayleigh_B, Oct 2026

10/10 tour! Anthony was...

10/10 tour! Anthony was the BEST. He was funny, straightforward, extremely informative. His knowledge about this neighborhood made this tour perfect. We left full and educated about the history of the North End, and he gave us so many recommendations for more places to check out. I would definitely do this tour again!

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Melinda_D, Oct 2026

American History Comes to Life

The Freedom Trail led by Cyrys M. was so educational and interesting. We heard fascinating history of graveside, followed the trail from previous revolutionary Boston to the catalyst ofvthe Boston Tea Party. Cyrus was especially articulate and excited about his subject, dispelled myths and offered a truly superb account of our history. I will read bit more about this time in our history and perhaps retain it better than I did in 8th and 11th grade American History.

Boston North End Food Tour with Authentic Local Flavors & Dishes

Debbie_K, Oct 2026

A Tasty Tour!

We were fortunate to have Gabe all to ourselves for this tour! We loved all the food stops (the cannolis were excellent!) but we enjoyed the conversation with Gabe most of all. Excellent discussions on history, architecture & food and we learned so much about Boston. All the stops were in a concentrated area with plenty of bathroom availability:) so I would say this would also be doable in the winter. Thanks Gabe for a wonderful tour!

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

LORENE_K, Oct 2026

An Unforgettable Experience; You Must Do It!

Be ready to be part of this version of the Boston Tea Party. My granddaughter loved the whole experience. From the town meeting where we stomped our boots on the ground and cheered "Here, Here", Huzzah! and Hissed or gave a Fie when we were not pleased. The video was quite informative as were the actors/players. This was the best adventure my granddaughter experienced, especially when she got to throw the tea overboard. Twice; she took my turn. She was the happiest I have seen her. She truly enjoyed her time there and wants everyone to know she highly recommends this attraction for all ages. I was so happy watching her laugh, smile, and enjoying it all. Thank you to all those who made this adventure possible.

Kelly_J, Oct 2026

Fenway Park Experience

The tour of Fenway was great! Our tour guide, George was amazing! He made the tour so interesting and fun. He has so many great stories, and has incredible historic knowledge. The best part is getting to sit in the outfield atop the Green Monster(Monsta). I would highly recommend this tour!

Sherri_H, Oct 2026

The captain of our whale watching tour stayed out a little longer than anticipated because of all of the great whale activity we were seeing. She took special care as to not disrupt the whales', especially when we were in the "whale soup!" The naturalists were knowledgeable and about as amazed as we all were when we saw 2 whales breech!

Boston Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Breeann_V, Oct 2026

A little worried it would be "too much"

Overall great experience. At first I was a little concerned I had booked something a touch too theatrical and would become annoyed 😆. But our guide Anthrax (? Demon) I believe was great he used just enough drama to be entertaining but stopped short of me wanting to toss myself out of the trolley. Really great way to see several burial grounds throughout the city and hear some new spooky tales. 👻

Tim_B, Sept 2026
