We came, we saw, we ate, we learned. - Despite starting and ending the tour in a downpour, we had a really fantastic time! My partner and I are both pescetarians and although there we no fish options available, all stops accommodated us as vegetarians without making us feel like we were missing out on something amazing. We learned not only about the food we were eating, but about the restaurants, the people behind the restaurants, the neighborhood, and the architecture of the area. Our guides and hosts, Katie Barron and Natalie Pena, were both interactive, energetic, knowledgeable, and above all passionate about what they do and eat!! The portions are "just a taste," but after 6 stops you leave with a satisfied belly and full brain. Thanks again for a great afternoon!

Hidden Gems of South Boston - We had a great time learning about the historical and cultural background of South Boston while sampling some of the most unique dishes. One of our favorites was the almond filled dates wrapped in bacon from the Orinoco. Our guides were very knowledgeable and we would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others.

Be sure to read the exactly what will be included. - Our guide Katie was great. Learned lots about South Boston. I’m disappointed because I thought we would be having traditional Bostonian foods like brown bread and beans, Boston Cream Pie, etc. so clearly I picked the wrong tour. That’s why I didn’t give you a 5.
