Sweet & Savory South End Tour

This is our flagship tour that will take you through the quaint red brick-paved streets of the South End neighborhood in Boston while learning about the area’s rich history and tasting some of its best bites. You’ll weave through the neighborhood with a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and make stops at six local eateries to taste both sweet and savory items that we have carefully selected for you.

Allston Arts & Eats Tour

This tour takes you through one of Boston’s most underrated neighborhoods. Allston is jam-packed with amazing food, art, and culture, which you’ll see by visiting the multiple murals that fill the walls and sides of buildings in the neighborhood, giving it the eclectic character it is known for. You’ll visit a wide array of eateries where you’ll taste everything from classic Korean food, to fusion foods, to grilled cheese, and vegan ice cream. Allston may be known for it’s college-y reputation as it’s the hub of where students reside, but tucked into its streets are artwork and flavors that you don’t want to miss.

Chinatown’s Culture & Cuisine Tour

This is our newest tour to date, which we launched last year and we’re still so excited about it! This tour will navigate you through the tiny, packed streets of Boston’s Chinatown where you’ll make stops for food, sweets, and drinks at six different locations. You really feel the hustle and bustle of the city in this neighborhood as Chinatown boarders Boston’s downtown. Packed into such a small area is a huge amount of history. You’ll learn how Chinatown started, the obstacles it faced and is facing, and how it has grown into the richly cultured community it is today. Food-wise you’ll taste traditional Chinese items, traditional Chinese-American items, and new creations invented by the next generation of Chinese-American chefs. You’ll also learn the technique to eating our favorite kind of dumpling, while eating them of course. Can’t wait to see you there!

Start date: Friday, March 15th
