Itinerary

  • North End

    All Food & Drink Tours start in the North End. The North End is Boston's oldest neighborhood, first settled in 1630. Today, this area is affectionately known as Little Italy, and is home to some of the City's very best restaurants, pizzerias and bakeries. From here, walk to historic Long Wharf to catch a scenic Ferry Ride across Boston Harbor!

    30 minutes

  • Charlestown Navy Yard

    The Charlestown Navy Yard is home to the USS Constitution, the only "floating site" on Boston's Freedom Trail. Hear the story of how this famous War Ship earned it's nickname - "Old Ironsides".

    15 minutes

  • Bunker Hill Monument (Pass By)

    Bunker Hill is the site of the 1st major battle of the American Revolution. Dr. Joseph Warren died in the waning moments of this historic battle. Hear the story behind that famous military command - "Don't fire til you see the whites of their eyes!"

  • Warren Tavern

    Hoist a beer (or wine, or soda!) under the very same roof as George Washington, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere and Dr. Joseph Warren - the taverns namesake. This historic tavern was built in 1780!

    45 minutes

    The Old State House is the oldest standing public building in the Eastern US. The circle of cobblestones in front of this historical landmark commemorate the 1st bloodshed of the American Revolution - the Boston Massacre.

Our tour guide Alvin made this great tour even better

Published on Jan, 2025

Alvin is the absolute man! So I set up a bachelor trip party for my brother in Boston with 4 other guys. We all have a variety of interests from nerdier interests to sports and from beer and drinking, to less booze inclined. Each one of us had a blast with our tour guide Alvin. We saw bunker hill and discussed much of the history of the taverns. He was knowledgeable of specifically American colonial history as well as simply local history in general and know matter what ridiculous questions we asked or how the conversation changed from sports, to how a neighborhood changed, to where to find good pizza/seafood, he not only kept up with it, but added a ton of interesting information. The settings and discussions were mostly free flowing and easy and he was honestly just an all around great drinking buddy with a great sense of the area both historically and today. This trip is definitely worth it and if the people in charge see this review, just know Alvin is a fantastic employee and you definitely lucked out with him.

History and Pub tour of Boston

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour was so much more than we expected! Our guide-Al- was so knowledgeable and actually quite funny and was a ‘go with the flow’ type of person-we are too! Great way to see the city, hear some history and grab some beers in a few of the countries oldest pubs! Seriously well worth the cost and we can’t recommend it enough! Thanks Al for a fantastic experience! We can’t wait to meet you in Detroit!

Alvin is AMAZING.

Learning about historic Boston. Walking through the North End. The ferry rides. The historic pubs. The whole tour was incredible.

Excellent Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Big Al was awesome. He was a wealth of information but presented it all in a way that made it all super interesting. It is alot of walking so wear comfy shoes. We really enjoyed the entire tour. The cannoli from Modern Pastry was INCREDIBLE! I will definitely book another tour the next time we come to town.
