5.00This is a wonderful overview of Boston’s famous foods. Katie was a great guide. She is knowledgeable and fun. This is our very favorite food tour ever! Each spot had a nice space set up for us and a gave us a really nice-sized portion. The final stop was the nicest! This is a must do for foodies and some great history thrown in too. More food than you can eat. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend this tour

5.00Great tour with fun history, a lot of food and a nice amount of walking around the city. Katie (#102, apparently 2 Katies work for this company) was friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide. She made everyone feel comfortable and provided a lot of fun history facts about the city as well as its food but was not overpowering. The food was great and there was a lot of it. You definitely do not need a meal after this tour and it is coordinated to almost start with an appetizer, the beans and brown bread and end with dessert. The boston cream pie. All of the food was very good and each stop came with history about the food at that location. Katie also mentioned the history of some other restaurants that we didn’t stop at. There is an option to add two beers to your tour ticket and they space it out well. The beers are at stop one and three. There are 4 food stops on this tour. I have done food tours in many cities and this one ranks as one of the best. I will definitely be trying more of their tours.

5.00As a newbie to Boston and Food Tours this was a great experience. All the food was great. Our group was small and intimate. Our guide, Katie, was the best! I would recommend for anyone who wants a taste a Boston.
Fabulous food tour of Boston classics!

5.00Katie was our guide for what turned out to be a private tour as my husband and I were the only two people. She was very warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. We had done a Freedom Trail tour prior, yet she had additional information to share and showed us different things along the way which we really appreciated. It was interesting to hear the background behind the Boston classic foods we tried, and they were all delicious! This food tour gave us the opportunity to eat at the places renowned for these foods and the insights Katie had (such as the portraits in the Bell in the Hand Tavern) were things we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. The amount of food and the pacing turned out to be more than enough for a meal. Highly recommend this experience!
Great Food Tour with History of Boston!

5.00We schedule a food tour in every new city we experience to taste local flavors and learn the history of that city. Bites of Boston delivered on both fronts. Katie was an excellent guide and provided visual aids (laminated maps of the city and more), great historical knowledge, and had a warm personality. She explained the history of the food we were having as well as other not-so-well-known-facts of Boston. We learned more from her in three hours than we did from another tour we took while visiting. Here is what we ate on our tour: Baked beans and brown bread, clam chowder, a lobster roll, and Boston cream pie. All of the places we experienced these foods had a unique history of their own. Our favorite was the clam chowder. The lobster roll was stuffed with lobster and came with fries. The beans were heavy on molasses, and the Boston cream pie was okay...not what we thought it was going to be. But it sure was pretty! We highly recommend this tour if you visit Boston. Ask for Katie as your guide!
A great Boston Tour

5.00It was a great tour!! Our guide Sean did an awesome job; I had the best lobster roll ever and was impressed by the pizza choice. I have done many walking food tours probably over 30 and this was one of the best.
