As one recent review noted, “Hidden Gems with Something for Everyone - The Harvard Square Food Tour with Roberta was so much fun! After a visit to the Harvard Yard, we visited four very different restaurants that were truly off the beaten path. We sampled authentic Greek, Venezuelan, Italian, and Chinese delicacies. The food was delicious and we were quite full by the end of the tour. We highly recommend this tour both to locals as well as visitors to the Boston area!” (Reviewed on 2024-03-11)
