Great combination of seafood and the history of Boston fishing industry - Great information about the seafood industry and the seaport area of Boston. Our guide, Caitlin, has a great personality and lots of energy. The food was terrific, chowder, tacos, lobster roll, sushi and oysters. There was more walking in this tour than many other food tours we have done. But the walking was was at a reasonable pace and broken up between the four stops. Definitely would recommend for anyone who enjoys seafood.

A filling lunch - Travis was a great guide. The tour started on time. Weather was perfect. Clam chowder and lobster roll were excellent. Sushi roll good. I didn’t try the oysters but I was offered an extra fish (cobia) taco which was very good. The ad said we would get the equivalent of one meal and that was true (actually a little more). Travis threw in a little history of the waterfront. Overall, great tour. The tour is actually by Intrepid.
