Fun way to see Boston and taste of Boston - With Judy as our tour guide, we learned a little about Boston and the freedom trail as we tasted iconic Boston foods. Great choices from baked beans to original Boston Cream pie. The 3 hours went by really fast. We were full and had fun. Definitely would recommend!

Excellent Food Tour - What a great tour--the food was delicious, especially the lobster roll at Bell In Hand. We had to leave the tour early and Judy brought our Boston cream pies to us at the hotel--thank you, Judy!

Great food and history tour - This was a terrific tour. The food was delicious and the history of each dish gave us a unique insight into Boston history. Our tour guide -- Alyssa (sp?) -- was knowledgeable and every stop was fun. By the way, the food was ample and we were actually unexpectedly full at the end of the tour. We highly recommend this well-organized and informative tour.

great intro to the area - Great way to start out our weekend in Boston! The tour introduced us to the downtown area (& some of its food-related history) & to some of the classic foods of the area. Who knew that baked beans & brown bread (bread originally from a can) could be so tasty! & the delicious clam chowder & lobster roll hit the spot. We finished the tour with Boston cream pie at Omni Parker House, which was the best Boston cream pie I've ever had.
