Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the seafood on the tour? Asking for a friend who's a big eater!

A: There's no strict weight limit, but they definitely encourage everyone to come hungry! The lobster roll and clam chowder are included, and most people find that it's more than enough food. If you have any special requests or dietary restrictions, I’d suggest letting them know in advance.

Q: What's the best time of year to do this tour? Any weather issues we should worry about?

A: Spring and fall are fantastic! The weather is usually mild, and you get to see the city without the summer crowds. Just be aware that if it rains, they could possibly reschedule, but the tour is mostly indoors at some points.

Q: What type of transportation do they use for the tour? Is parking easy at pickup?

A: They use an air-conditioned vehicle, usually a van or small bus, which is really comfy for the drive! For pickup, they’re flexible and can pick you up from pretty much anywhere in the Boston area. Depending on the location, parking can be a bit tricky, so it’s best to arrange a pickup instead.

Thinking about gifting the Boston Food and History Tour - any thoughts?

I'm considering this tour for my foodie friend’s birthday! The idea of starting in Little Italy with cannoli and coffee sounds awesome. Plus, I love that you get to learn about the history tied to the American Revolution. I’m just a bit worried about how much walking is involved since I know my friend can get tired easily. Anyone done this tour? What do you think?

Anyone tried the lobster rolls on this food tour?

I’m super curious about the lobster rolls! I’ve heard they’re pretty famous at the local seafood place. Are they really worth it? Also, how’s the clam chowder? I’m planning to take my parents on this tour next month!
