What To Expect On A Bites of Boston Private Food Tour
A food tour is an amazing way to get to know a place better, new or familiar. At Bites of Boston we host walking food tours through some of Boston’s most unique neighborhoods, diving into the history, culture, and food that makes them special. While we run public tours throughout the week but we also offer the unique experience of a private food tour.
If you have a group, big or small, that you would like to do a fun activity with we’ll help you plan the perfect tour for you and your group. From happy hour tours, to dinner tours, to sweets only tours, we have something that’s perfect for you! Private tours are ideal for special occasions, celebrations, work outings, team bonding, family vacation, etc. For more ideas of what to celebrate with a private tour click here.
What is especially great about a private food tour is that you get all the benefits and fun of the public tour but in an intimate setting that is catered to you and your group, and you have a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide all to yourself. Read on to get to know what to expect on a Bites of Boston Private Food Tour.
