Walk the Freedom Trail with a local guide who knows Boston’s history — and its best bites.
This tour blends iconic landmarks with food stops that highlight the city’s Colonial roots and immigrant flavors, from clam chowder and baked beans to cannoli and Italian paninis.
You’ll explore lively spots like the Boston Public Market and Faneuil Hall, wander one of the city’s oldest streets, and visit the Paul Revere House and Old North Church. There’s time to reflect at the Holocaust Memorial and enjoy the green spaces that now connect old neighborhoods.
At each stop, your guide shares stories you won’t find in textbooks, making history and local culture come alive.
Come hungry! Your guide will recommend their favorite things to try at each stop. You can choose what to taste — or skip the snacks and just take in the atmosphere. If you sample everything, expect to spend around $30.
