Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the food tour? Is it casual or do we need to dress up?

A: Definitely go for a casual vibe! Boston can be walkable, so comfy shoes are a must since you'll be on your feet a lot. Layers are a good idea too — sometimes it gets a bit chilly by the waterfront. Just be ready to enjoy some delicious food without worrying about being too fancy!

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What age do you think would enjoy it?

A: Yeah, kids are definitely welcome! The food's really kid-friendly, and they might enjoy the history. As long as they can walk for a bit and have some interest in the sights, it should be a great time for them. Just keep an eye on them during the tour since it can get busy around certain spots.

Q: Can we reschedule if something comes up? How flexible are they?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule as long as you give them a heads up. I had to change my date and they were super understanding. Just check their policy when you book to be sure, but they’re generally pretty flexible.
