About this activity

Experience Boston's iconic Freedom Trail through its most legendary dishes.

Savor generous tastings of New England classics, including creamy clam chowder, a classic lobster roll, slow-cooked Boston baked beans, and the city's famous Boston Cream Pie at the very hotel where it was first created in the 1850s.

Follow your local guide through Boston's historic streets, uncovering the fascinating stories behind each dish—from Native American influences and colonial traditions to the flavors that continue to define Boston's culinary heritage.

Unlike many food tours, most of our tastings are enjoyed while comfortably seated inside the restaurants with individually plated portions, giving you time to relax, savor each stop, and soak in the atmosphere.

With small groups, leisurely walking, and insider recommendations, you'll experience Boston like a local and discover its most famous landmarks tell a richer story when experienced through the food that has defined the city for generations.
