Just did the Sweet & Savory tour! Here’s my take.

I went on the Sweet & Savory South End tour last week, and it was honestly amazing! The guide shared so many cool stories about the neighborhood. The food was to die for, especially the pastries from Flour Bakery! They give you a real taste of what Boston is all about. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the city like a local!

Considering the Sweet & Savory tour as a gift!

I’m thinking about getting the Sweet & Savory South End food tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves food tours and Boston! Has anyone done it? Would it be worth it for someone who already knows the area?
