Really worth the money - Truly great tour. The food was incredible: fresh clam chowder, lobster rolls, oysters, shrimp, cannolis. It was all fresh and all from fabulous places. Dan, our tour guide was knowledgeable and humorous. He made us laugh. I highly recommend this tour.

Above and beyond in every way...delicious food, amazing history and stories, led by guide Dan! - If you love seafood, travel, and History then this is the tour for you! We were a small group led by Dan who was amazing...funny, knowledgeable, interesting, and time generous. He goes above and beyond the tour expectations! We probably hit as many of the "must-see" places in historic Boston while also learning the behind-the scenes stories that shaped the fascinating birth of our nation. We enjoyed delicious, New England specialties like clam chowder, raw oysters and chilled shrimp, good-ole LOBSTER ROLL, and ending with sweet canoli from the North end. This is going to be a memorable tour with tons of pictures and a great deal of Boston history accompanied by delicious food. I highly recommend this tour if you are a foodie and History buff, or if you just want to know historic and cultural Boston in an intimate setting.

Great food and great tour guide - Great food and great tour guide. So glad we didn't go to overcrowded venues. Learned history and had a ton of great food. Liked the ability to sit down for a reasonable amount of time to enjoy the food and purchase a glass of wine.
