We were the only clients booked on the tour and Guido made sure we had an interesting and delicious time. He married up Boston history with the food journeys of the various nationalities coming into the city through the years making it what it is today. We absolutely recommend this and any tours with Walks and Devour tours anywhere in the world.

My husband and I loved our Boston Devour tour with Carol! We've lived in Massachusetts for 20 years, but we didn't grow up here and are still learning about the history and culture of the area. Carol taught us a lot of interesting information, pertaining not only to the history and culture but also about the food we were enjoying and the restaurants and people who were serving us. I loved hearing about colonial times, Native people and food, *and* the history of the restaurants we visited, it was fascinating. Carol was clear and easy to hear, and everyplace we went people were happy to see her and eager to talk to our group. The foods we tried were absolutely delicious, incredibly varied, and really interesting and relevant to the area. I would love to take another tour with Carol, or bring more people on this same tour. We'd also love to do another tour just like this in a new place. I can't say enough good things about the whole process. Even our fellow tourists were delightful. 10/10

Elizabeth was amazing. Every place we visited greeted her by name and were genuinely happy to see her and her group. The foods we tasted were wonderful and made more so being able to meet the business owners. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and relatives.

My husband and I really enjoyed the Boston walking food tour we took on 9/24/24. Our guide was Elizabeth, and she made the walk very educational and fun! She told us some of the history of the restaurants and places where we stopped for food and interesting facts about the food itself. All of the food that we tried was high quality and delicious, and we enjoyed our day so much that the 3 hours just flew by, and we wished that we could spend the rest of the day with Elizabeth. We highly recommend this tour!
