Itinerary

Boston Public Market

Start your morning at the Boston Public Market and taste the New England difference in one of the region's most important agricultural products: apples! Apple cider donuts await you to fuel the rest of your explorations. If that wasn’t enough, you'll taste a bit of history at a second market stall in the form of a surprising 17th-century snack with English roots

30 minutes
Freedom Trail

Follow in the footsteps of the revolutionaries as you walk the historic Freedom Trail, where Boston’s history unfolds alongside the birth of America. And don’t worry...there’s more food coming your way!

25 minutes
N/A

There's no better place to continue your Boston history lesson than at an iconic restaurant that hasn't closed its doors since 1826. This makes it not only the oldest restaurant in Boston, but the oldest one with continuous service in the entire United States! You'll sit in the very booth that was reserved for the 35th president, John F. Kennedy, to taste creamy clam chowder and another coastal classic: oysters!

35 minutes
North End

Hit the Freedom Trail again and wind your way over to the North End neighborhood, where Italian influences offer a delightful change of pace.

25 minutes
N/A

Stop at a fourth-generation family-run eatery specializing in hot and buttery lobster rolls—a quintessential New England classic. This particular spot must not be missed while in Boston—they've even been featured on Good Morning America!

25 minutes
N/A

Next, step back in time to the 1930s with a visit to a hole-in-the-wall neighborhood coffee joint and enjoy a taste of Boston’s Italian past.

10 minutes
N/A

Finally, you'll wrap up at a family-run favorite pastry shop in the North End and finish on a sweet note with a melt-in-your-mouth cannoli.

Had a great time with Sarah -it was a great tour! All of the pairings were great and she was a fun guide

Good your wrong order of visits.

Published on Nov, 2024

The address on the voucher and the address in the email were different addresses so that was confusing. Also, the lobster roll was given to us at the end of the day when we had already had dessert and coffee so many of us just took it home the chronological order of that is wrong Carol Was very nice. Thank you.

So good!

Great time on this tour with Sarah! Small group so it was more enjoyable. All the restaurants were great and Sarah was an absolute delight and was able to tell us the background story to these places she selected which made it more interesting. A winning combination. Would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Food Tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a great tour! Sarah was amazing! She had so much great info and took us to great places as well. We started in the market and had a few tastes there and then time to explore. We left there and got a little history before going and having oysters, clam chowder and corn bread at a very old restaurant (I think one of the oldest there). After that we wandered into the north end where we stopped by the most amazing coffee shop followed by fresh cannoli’s. By the end, we were full and happy. Highly recommend this tour!
