Sarah was a wonderful guide, everything we tried on the tour was excellent and she was able to tell us some of the history of the city as we wandered around.
My husband and I loved this food tour! Our guide, Sarah O., was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Boston and it was a pleasure listening to her explain and describe the city’s culture. The tour offered a nice balance of savory and sweet foods and all were delicious, even the oysters at The Oyster House (this was my first ever oyster)! I highly recommend this great food tour to anyone who enjoys learning about Boston and sampling their delicious iconic foods!
That Sarah was a great guide and very knowledgeable and had a fun personality. We all had a great time and the food was delicious.

We had an awesome time on the Boston North End Guided Food Tour & Market Visit. Our tour guides name was Sara and she was excellent. Sara was not only a wealth of knowledge she was also personable, bubbly and fun! We stopped at various restaurants and eating locations. Our favorite was the Union Oyster House (the oldest existing restaurant in America) where we were able to eat cornbread, oysters and clam chowder. As a bonus we even got the chance to eat lobster rolls!! Overall just a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this tour.
