Our guide, Nabil, was amazing. His knowledge of the history and his stories brought Boston to life for us. But the lobster and the quahog were the stars. The places we went to were very unique and fun. Thanks for the memories !

Fantastic Tour - Can’t Miss!

Angela_M, Nov 2023

Fantastic tour with a great mix of history and food. Our tour guide Molly did an amazing job answering questions, keeping us engaged and sharing hidden gems of Boston!

Great food

Amina_M, Nov 2023

Tim was such a lovely guy and the food that I tried tosay was amazing. Although it was super chilly I still had a great time.

Highly recommend!

Average walking and food tour

liane_d, Oct 2023

Food was great; however, the guide; although historically knowledgeable, was unorganized and even late to meet our group. At every stop, we had to scramble for tables, rather than the guide making arrangements in advance for a place to seat his group. Frankly, we could have scrambled for a table without a tour and saved some $. Average tour and would never spend the money to do it that way again.

Boston Seafood Tour with Tim

Scott_J, Sep 2023

Tim was great. He shared the history of the area and took us to places that had amazing (and some unusual) seafood dishes.

Great food and guide!

Carolyn_V, Sep 2023

Our guide went above and beyond telling us interesting history as we made our way to the three awesome restaurants. The food was also delicious.

Frankie for the win

alex_a, Sep 2023

Frankie was amazing. Super knowledgeable and full of energy. No issue hearing him even though our group was full. Loved his energy.

Excellent

Anil_P, Sep 2023

Alex, our tour guide was PHENOMENAL!! He was a huge source of information that was delivered eloquently and humorously. He was always very kind, thoughtful and highly professional while also making us smile.

Lovely seafood tasting!

Kathie_D, Sep 2023

Dillon was a great guide, sharing history and answering historical and local information and question. Seafood tastings were very nice too! Explanation was given of each spot.

Boston food walking tour.

JanetM_B, Aug 2023

Enjoyed several tastes of authentic Boston seafood with some history included with a private tour guide. All food was good but the clam chowder was my favorite!

Great guide and good food

Simon_P, Jul 2023

Maz was a great guide, very friendly and informative. The food stops were well spaced out and we got some good tips on where to go, including a follow up email with further recommendations. The lobster rolls were great, though finishing with clam chowder on a hot July day was a challenge. But it's a seafood tour in Boston, so you've got to chowder 😀

Fun in the city we love

Leigh_A, Jul 2023

Our tour guide was delightful, respectful, and clearly loves his work! It was a nice way to spend the afternoon learning things we never knew about Boston and eating some of our favorite seafood treats from the city.

Boston Seafood Tour

Amy_C, Jul 2023

The tour was pretty good, but I think for $100 a person everyone should get their own lobster roll. It’s weird sharing a sandwich with people you don’t know. The Quahogs were good from Salty Dog, but we didn’t have a place to sit. We were on a dirty park bench. I would charge more and include drinks. The tour guide bought himself water and told us drinks are on our own. Loved the last place with cornbread and cl chowder but the waitress brought one fried clam plate with French fries for 7 people. They should order a basket of fried clams and shrimp, and maybe include a colonial beer. Trey was super nice and knowledgeable but the actual seafood tour was just okay.

It was a good time not rushed and very relaxing.

Susan_S, Jul 2023

Your knowledge of all the places we want to and the food was very good.Not rushed and very relaxing.

Really great view of Boston

patrick_j, Jul 2023

Outstanding food - unique view of Boston - really enthusiastic guide - very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to friends

Nabil was a great guide. ...

Tamara_B, Jun 2023

Nabil was a great guide. He had a lot of interesting info to share. The food was fabulous. James hook lobster rolls are a definite have to every time we visit Boston now!

Happy birthday celebration with my friends

Brian_S, Jun 2023

We enjoyed discussing view and Boston from 14 floor observation platform. Enjoyed the food. Seemed like the guide wasn't aware that I had cancelled one member of my party. No refund yet. Surprised we did not go to restaurants you said we would.

Good food, better guide

Ryan_S, May 2023

Tim was awesome. Very friendly, took time to chat with everyone throughout. The food was amazing! Would highly recommend.

The lobster roll was to die for

Jill_Q, Apr 2023

The Lobster roll. OMG absolutely fabulous closely followed by the stuffed scallops 4 seafood treats to taste all very good but the 🦞 roll 😋😋😋 Our Guide Lucy was an excellent friendly guide , with lots of anecdotes and local knowledge/ tips A bit expensive but seafood is pricey

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi Jill - thank you for the review and feedback. Our guides know where to get the freshest and tastiest seafood in Boston. And Lucy - like all of our guides - loves to share her knowledge and passion for Boston with all of her guests. We hope to see you on another adventure soon.

Tim was awesome!

Alex_Y, Apr 2023

Tim was an incredible tour guide. He mixed in history and the story of Boston with several incredible food stops on the way. The highlight was the lobster roll and crab cake at James Hook & Co. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the origin of Boston to today

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for the 5-star review Alex! You can't think of food in Boston without including our bountiful fresh seafood. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and we'll be sure to pass your compliments on to Tim. Cheers!
