Do not think twice, this tour is worth it! And I go on tours almost every week. It was amazing.

Shelly_G, Feb 2024

My family of 5 had the delightful opportunity to partake in the Boston Food and History Private Tour guided by Maria. As someone who frequently embarks on such tours due to my weekly work-related travels, I can confidently affirm that this experience ranks among the top 3 tours I've ever encountered. Maria's profound knowledge and the tour's diverse appeal catered to everyone, including my ten-year-old son, who can be quite challenging to engage at times. We are unequivocally inclined to revisit this tour in the future and would readily entrust this tour company with any of our future endeavors. You will not regret booking this tour!! It was fantastic. If we had stayed even one day longer, we would have booked an additional tour with Maria.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you so much for your review! I had a blast showing your group around! Would love to show you more of Boston if you ever visit us again!

By far the best tour we have ever had

Wain_K, Nov 2023

We have taken tours in over a dozen cities over the past two years. This was by far the best guided tour we have been on. Maria put in a great deal of research to design her tour. She showed up with many illustrative examples to make it fun and easy to understand all of the information that was shared. She had much historical context that made us all gain a much better understanding of the history and the people that made Boston into the city it is today. My kids loved it and said it was the highlight of our trip. We saw so much in our time together.
