Boston Seafood Tour - We had a really amazing time on this food tour! We dove deep into the history of Boston and all the great food surrounding it. Our tour guide Nabil did an outstanding job explaining and showing us around the city. He knew all the great spots and all the fun activities there was to do in Boston. Couldn’t ask for a better day!

The BEST way to see Boston - We recently took this incredible tour and were not sure what to expect. It's a 5-hour experience that starts with a variety of seafood tastings including the freshest lobster roll I have ever eaten as well as delicious chowda (I'm practicing my Boston accent). But it's so much more than just a seafood tour. The guide talked about the history of the seafood industry in Boston and how it still plays an important part of the local economy. With tummys full, we started the second half of the tour that covered most of the Freedom Trail. Our guide was amazing and not only did he make us feel like old friends, the incredible stories he told felt very genuine. They weren't regurgitated wikipedia stories. This is exactly what we were looking for for our time in Boston.

Don’t miss this great tour! - Nabil was an incredible tour guide! We ate some great food and learned lots of interesting history and stories about Boston Harbor. My teenage boys had the best time as well which says a lot for how engaging Nabil is as a guide.

Great seafood; great tour! - Nabil was one of the best food tour guides I've ever had. Personable, funny, incredibly well informed, and truly into doing his job. The food stops were great.
I like to think of myself as a lobster role expert, and honestly, the lobster roll on this
tour was the best I've ever had (James Hook's). In addition to the great food, Nabil provided so much excellent historical information and lots of Boston insider tips. I highly recommend this tour and Nabil!

Boston seafood lovers tour - Our tour guide, Nabil did a great job! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour had ample and delicious seafood tastings combined with a lot of information about the Seaport neighborhood and the history of Boston. My friend is allergic to lobster and Nabil was extremely accommodating, finding alternative seafood options she could eat. I’m from NJ but one of my friends who lives in Boston learned a lot about her hometown. I highly recommend Nabil and this tour!
