History and food are both great, but combining them takes it to another level. See for yourself on our Food and Freedom Trail Tour, which leads you on a fascinating, entertaining, and delicious stroll through Beantown.
Immerse yourself in the rich foodie culture of the North End and Boston’s markets before winding your way down the historic Boston Freedom Trail (as well as some off-trail spots that locals love). Along the way, enjoy a variety of local (and yummy!) food samples while your expert guide shows you their favorite local locales and gives you the inside scoop on Boston’s incredible past.
It’s the best of Boston, all in one day!
We mindfully design our tours to explore areas on foot, thus doing our part to lessen our environmental impact.
Our guides prioritize “supporting local” by recommending and patronizing family-run and locally owned businesses so that the culture and traditions of this neighborhood are preserved and are passed on to the next generation.
We are committed to a 360-degree view of storytelling, featuring stories about under-represented groups such as women, immigrants, and people of various ethnicities, ages, and religions.
Your guide will point out the importance of preserving architecture in a booming city where instead of tearing down historic buildings, we have restored and created a city around them.
We will explore various neighborhoods in which immigrant and under-recognized populations, sometimes welcomed and sometimes not-so-welcomed, have left permanent and positive impacts on the history and culture of our modern city.
Your tour begins at the Greenway Carousel , the only carousel of its kind. The hand-carved characters are inspired by the air, sea and land animals of Boston Harbor, and by the imaginations of children.
Your first stop on the foodie half of your tour is at Faneuil Hall and its Marketplace. This destination is a lively market and town hall and is located close to the waterfront. This is where the cries for revolution from Great Britain first rang out.
Your tour will pass this picturesque park and you’ll see the unique memorials, fountains, parks, and art exhibits that reside here, along with skyline views. This will be where your tour eventually concludes.
Your guide will introduce you to the vast choice of different drinks and bites and you’ll get to experience them yourself! From breads to cheeses to pizza, it’s got it all – so arrive hungry! As you’re munching, our guide will teach you all about the history of the North End – one of Boston’s most iconic and popular neighborhoods.

Along the tour, you’ll get a view and maybe an inside look of the steeple of the Old North Church (one of Boston’s Must See spots). it’s where lanterns were hung on the eve of the American Revolution.
Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House and site of the Boston Massacre. The Old State House is one of the most iconic buildings in Boston – a Must See – and is also one of the oldest public buildings in the country. Our guide will educate you on its rich history and why it is so important today.
This hall was home to the city council in the 19th and 20th century, as well as the site of the first public school in America. You’ll also marvel at its breathtaking French architecture and be able to snap a photo with the famed Bronze Donkey.
