Our guide was great, very friendly, knowledgeable about the city and eager to accommodate. Only good things to say about our guide. The disappointment comes from the lack of "secret" and "food" from the tour. We showed up at 11 for the tour HUNGRY. Because it's a food tour after all. We started off at the Boston Public Market, which is anything BUT secret. First off was a small ration of lobster roll. Good quality, not much quantity. Next, we toured several of the vendors in the market, getting samples that we could have gotten regardless of being on the food tour. There is no point in taking a food tour through one of the more obvious tourist-food-trap areas in town. By the time we got to sit down for the first actual dining spot, I was hangry. Half a cup of chowder? That was washed down with a sip of beer (yes, one can of beer was split between 8 people, what a joke). The rest of the tour went on just about the same, me wondering when we would actually be getting food on this tour. And I am a smallish sized female human, not a sumo wrestler. We finished with our hopes as deflated as our empty stomachs. Only recommend for small birds. Food for thought to the owner: keep your guide, change your route, and if you charge more so we dont all have to play kumbaya around one can of beer, people will be willing to pay.

Thank you for your feedback of our tour. I’m so glad that you really enjoyed the guide and everything that you learned. I’m sorry that you felt the Boston Public Market was touristy. This is often a highlight of the tour for most of our guests, as the Boston Public Market is far less known than either Quincy Market or Haymarket, to both locals and tourists alike. You mentioned the chowder as the first thing you got to enjoy, but that’s the 6th food item on the tour. Before that stop you would have had enjoyed 1/2 a freshly made lobster roll, a large sampling of locally made freshly roasted nuts, samples of unique local honeys, crispy and cheesy brick oven pizza, a secret dish that almost all of our guests state they would never have ordered but was the highlight of their tour, then the homemade chowder, followed by a freshly filled cannoli for dessert. We absolutely appreciate your feedback and we’re also adding an alcohol package to our tour for those guests who wish to drink more and pay additional for that. We tried to reach out to you directly but never heard back, so please feel free to email us directly at [email protected] if you have any other recommendations you would like to discuss.

I had such a great time on this tour and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience a great "taste" of Boston. The people that my girlfriend and I were with were all very friendly and engaging. Our host, Christina, was awesome and very knowledgeable about both: all of the foods we tried, and all the history behind each place that we visited. We are definitely going to bring others along with us and do this tour again sometime within the next year.
