Good your wrong order of visits. - The address on the voucher and the address in the email were different addresses so that was confusing. Also, the lobster roll was given to us at the end of the day when we had already had dessert and coffee so many of us just took it home the chronological order of that is wrong Carol Was very nice. Thank you.

So good! - Great time on this tour with Sarah! Small group so it was more enjoyable. All the restaurants were great and Sarah was an absolute delight and was able to tell us the background story to these places she selected which made it more interesting. A winning combination. Would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Food Tour! - This was a great tour! Sarah was amazing! She had so much great info and took us to great places as well. We started in the market and had a few tastes there and then time to explore. We left there and got a little history before going and having oysters, clam chowder and corn bread at a very old restaurant (I think one of the oldest there). After that we wandered into the north end where we stopped by the most amazing coffee shop followed by fresh cannoli’s. By the end, we were full and happy. Highly recommend this tour!

The best Boston food tour evah! - Debra, our tour guide was nothing short of amazing. Humor, history and delicious nibbles along the way. We could not think of a better way to experience the essence of Boston's North End.

Delicious food! - In addition to the various tastings the tour included visiting several different Boston sites. There was a lot of walking so if someone has some difficulty walking I wouldn’t suggest it. We had a problem with the meeting place… we were on one end of the Holocaust memorial and the guide was on the other Both sides were at the correct address. The starting location should be described better.

More like a field trip - Ms. Carol wasn’t very pleasant. She scolded a few of us for talking. It felt like a field trip rather than an historical experience. The guide talked about herself the entire time and missed pointing out statutes - her book she is writing, her past job as a professor, the famous people she met, ect. Instead of walking through the Freedom Trail, we walked the sidewalk. She talked before handing out the food, I would have liked it much better if the food would have been handed out and she talked while we sampled. The chowder was delicious!
