Description

The Ultimate Boston Food Tour blends New England flavors with the city's most iconic neighborhoods and landmarks. This three-hour guided walking food tour starts at Boston Public Market, where you'll sample two seasonal apple-based treats—like fresh cider donuts—while browsing local vendors.

Follow the Freedom Trail through downtown Boston as your guide shares stories behind Revolutionary-era landmarks. Try a savory English-inspired snack from the 1600s, then continue to Union Oyster House, the country's oldest restaurant. Sit in John F. Kennedy's favorite booth while enjoying clam chowder and oysters.

In the North End, dive into Boston's Italian-American food scene with a buttery lobster roll from a family-run shop. Visit a 1930s coffee counter and end with a sweet ricotta cannoli from a traditional bakery. The six or more tasting stops include both savory and sweet classics—enough for a full meal.

Tasting locations may vary based on season and group size, but every tour features a curated selection of dishes that reflect Boston's unique role in American food history.
