On our Secret Food Tour: Boston – Harvard & Cambridge, you'll escape the hustle and bustle of downtown to explore a charming New England college town just across the river. Our experienced guides will lead you on a historic adventure past stately brick buildings and ivy-covered walls, the heart of America’s most famous university—Harvard. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of some of the area’s most notable former residents, including Julia Child, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, while savoring delicious delicacies at some of their favorite former haunts. Throughout the experience, you'll discover why the Puritans chose this spot to establish one of the country’s first cities—and why its charm still endures today. Harvard Square isn't just a backdrop to a renowned university; it's a cornerstone of American history.

Q&A

Q: Is this food tour suitable for kids? What age range is recommended?

A: Yes, the Harvard & Cambridge Walking Food Tour is great for families! Kids usually enjoy the food and the interesting stories. I'd say it’s best for kids ages 8 and up, but younger ones can join if they’re up for a bit of walking. Just be sure they like trying new foods, as there’s a variety of dishes!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up last minute?

A: Absolutely! Secret Food Tours has a flexible rescheduling policy. Just reach out to them at least 24 hours in advance if you need to change your date. They’re pretty accommodating, so you shouldn’t have any issues!

Q: What's the parking situation like around Harvard Square?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky around Harvard Square, especially during busy hours. There are several parking garages nearby, but I’d recommend using public transit if you can. The Alewife T station isn't too far, and the Red Line drops you right at Alewife. Way easier than finding a spot!

Thinking of gifting the Harvard & Cambridge Food Tour - anyone done it?

Hey everyone! I'm considering gifting the Harvard & Cambridge Walking Food Tour to my friend who's a total foodie. I love that it includes dishes like Boston Cream Pie Donut and Fried Clam Po' Boy. Sounds amazing, right? But, I’m wondering if the walking part is too much for someone who’s not super active. Anyone have thoughts?

Just did the Harvard Food Tour - it was awesome!

I went on the Harvard & Cambridge Walking Food Tour last weekend, and wow, it was so delightful! The guides were super knowledgeable, and we got to taste some really cool dishes. The Harvard's Favorite Pizza was a highlight for me. Plus, the history they shared made the walk enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the area with some great food!
