Excellent Iconic Food Tour
Christine_W, Dec 2023
Judy, our guide, was excellent!! She had such a passion and was excited to share her love of Boston and its iconic food. We had such a great time and learned so much along the way.
Informative, delicious, and fun
Robert_G, Nov 2023
Judy was the perfect tour guide. We loved learning some Boston food history and trying the yummy foods. In our group the clam chowder was the winner. Very enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.
Great tour

Food History of Boston tour
Lora_W, Sep 2021
My husband and I are from New York. We both really enjoyed this food tour. Gave us the background of 4 classic Boston dishes, beans, chowder, lobster rolls and Boston cream pie. Boston beers were also available. Alissa was a great tour guide, very informative and friendly. Great way to start your time in Boston
Great guide and tour!
Alexander_K, Aug 2021
Great guide, knew a lot of Boston history and was very professional. Was a great tour! Visited four locations and was given history on each location plus some off beaten path stories. Really worth the time and cost.

Thanks, Earl - It was a pleasure to have both of you join us for the Classic tour last week! Here's hoping you were able to catch the rescheduled Red Sox game too!
The Best Boston Walking Food Tour
DeniceM_G, Apr 2021
This was the 5th Walking Food Tour I've taken in Boston. It was the best one by far! The guide was the most knowledgeable, the food was the best and was a good variety and the guide was easy to understand. I will be taking more tours with this company when I return to Boston.
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Thank you so very much, Denice. It was a pleasure to have your join us on our Classic Bites of Boston tour and we look forward to seeing you again in the future for more Boston food and fun!
Must-Do While in Boston
Heidi P, Sep 2019
I thought this tour would be just about food, which would have been fine with me, but it was so much more! Maggie was a wealth of information about Boston history, both food and non-food related. The tour was paced well, and the sampling of iconic Boston foods ranged from Boston baked beans (which aren't really baked) and Boston brown bread, to Legal Seafoods' clam chowdah, to the classic lobstah roll, to the piece de resistance: Boston cream pie, which is neither pie nor cream! I cannot recommend this tour more!
