Great Food Tour - Great tour and our guide Nabil was outstanding. He was well versed in the area of history and matching it with foods. He paced the tour just right for the 4 of us. The food choices were perfect from the lobster roll through the fried clams! Highly recommend this tour and make sure to request Nabil.

A nice blend of history and local food - Wonderful experience. A good blend of history and local food. Our guide was wonderful. The apple cider and mini apple cider donut was very good. The popover interesting and tasty. Try the Asiago. Old union oyster house had excellent clam chowder and beans and corn bread . The oyster was wonderful. I would have expected more than 1. The mini cannoli was very good as was the Italian ice. The lobster roll (1 per 2 people) was very disappointing. It was overcooked and had more fins than anything else. I would highly recommend the tour for others. Perhaps they should change the lobster roll place.
