Rainy-Day Tour Delight - My husband and I had a wonderful experience on this tour with Lexie, even on a very rainy day during our visit to Boston (first time). She was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and added thoughtful personal touches by sharing stories from her own upbringing in the area. The food portions were generous and we could barely finish everything. What truly stood out was Lexie’s kindness. She reached out the morning of the tour, despite the downpour and the fact that all other participants had canceled, and still met us in the rain to make sure we enjoyed our day. I highly recommend this tour as a fantastic way to experience Boston’s rich history and delicious food in one memorable outing. This was very helpful on a trip with a packed itinerary.

Fabulous day with Bob - I had an amazing tour with Bob today! It was very cold and windy, but bundle up and don’t let that deter you!! Bob took me for some delicious treats at beloved local spots in the North End, giving fabulous history lessons of everywhere we stopped. By the end of the food tour I was stuffed. Then we had the history portion of the tour, walking part of the freedom trail. Bob was knowledgeable and compelling. Finally, we stopped for cider and walked through classic Boston stops - Beacon Hill (incl Acorn Street), the Common and the Public Garden. Bob kindly followed up with an email recap of our day and some suggestions for where we could go out to eat for the rest of our stay in Boston - specifically tailored to our preferences. Can’t recommend enough!

North End Fun! - We did the Food Tour with Nabil and I would recommend this to anyone coming to Boston. It was the perfect amount of time, Nabil was knowledgeable, and the food was fantastic. Not only did we get to have great food, but it was met with humor and fun historical stories. The best part was how Nabil added personal touches and knew the owners of the establishments that we visited. It made us feel like VIP’s.

Wonderful Tour on a cold day in Boston! - If you are looking for a very charming, walkable, scenic, and historical view of Boston, I would recommend this North End and Freedom Trail tour. The tour started by walking through the Italian restaurants North End of the city. Remember it is an eating tour first thing in the morning! The extremely knowledgeable, funny, and personable guide Nabil, took us to five excellent bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants for some excellent "tastes" (which are big and worth the money) while also giving an excellent historical background of each place and the area. After being completely stuffed we went on a very enjoyable walk of Freedom Trail and the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Great guide, great walk and great food on a day that probably had a wind chill under 20 degrees. Nabil was very aware of the weather as he took us in buildings to get warm. Highly recommend this tour and guide.

Boston food tour with Nabil - Nabil was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, easy to talk with and ask questions, and considerate of the severe weather conditions we were facing (very cold with high winds). The food was great! The history learned was fantastic. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to or around Boston.
