Kind words From our guests

"What fun!!! I've been living in the area for about a year and a half now and clearly I've not gotten out much. This tour was absolutely perfect for exploring, learning, and trying new and interesting food. Not only was this beyond tasty, but it was entertaining and informational. I could not recommend this more for locals and visitors!"

"In my opinion, Yelpers definitely want to get off the beaten path and discover places the locals love to eat! I was so excited to find this tour of Davis Square after moving to the area recently. I absolutely LOVED it and am telling all my friends and acquaintances to go take this tour!"

"We went on the Chocolate Food Tour in Harvard Square and loved it! A perfect balance of chocolate consumption (in a variety of different forms), chocolate history, some local Boston/Harvard history, and the route was a lovely walk and way to see Harvard. Would definitely recommend!"
