Great food and a history lesson - Sean Delaney was an excellent tour guide and knows Boston history. He shared his knowledge with ease and had personal experience with the proprietors of the establishments we visited. We had a very congenial group on our tour and everyone enjoyed the food, the information shared, and the company. Sean was especially helpful when my husband had a fall, and continued to check on him during and after the tour. I highly recommend this tour, and if Sean is your guide it will be a bonus.

Great Boston Food Tours - Jessica was fun and thorough. Her pre-tour text was welcoming and finding her was easy. We have done many Secret Food Tours around the world and this had more stops and more full portioned servings than others. We left stuffed and happy.

Another very enjoyable Secret Food tour - This was another very enjoyable Secret Food tour for us. Our guide, Chloe, was amazing - very knowledgeable about the places we stopped at and the North End neighborhood of Boston in general. The weather was glorious, the food was tasty, and the whole experience was fun and lively. Secret Food has food tours nailed - highly recommended.

Great NY Style pizza. - Great food choices. Pizza was the best I ever tasted. And as a New York resident that says a lot. Could have used a bit more history of the area. Guide/host was very accommodating and patient with our group which had several with walking difficulties.
