Our Boston Food Tour Testimonials
"My husband and I just had an amazing chocolate tour in Cambridge with Chloe. What a wonderful event! She shared so much, not only about chocolate but also about the local area....We learned so much while enjoying decadent treats and learning to become better chocolate connoisseurs! Thanks so much and expect to see us again!"

"The Central Square Mural Arts Tour was a fantastic experience! From the captivating art scattered throughout the streets to the vibrant community vibes, every step was a treat for the senses. Our tour guide, Sophie, was an absolute gem, effortlessly weaving tales of the area's history with a contagious passion for local cuisine."
"What a great way to explore a city! We went on a food and art tour of Central Square in Cambridge and were more than pleased by our experience."
"Fantastic tour of Harvard Square - you truly go "off the beaten path" to discover gems down hidden alleys. Knowledgeable tour guide - great way to experience the neighborhood. I plan to do every tour this company offers! Don't miss it!"

"Had a blast on the Harvard square food tour with my friends this weekend! Our wonderful tour guide made it a great experience."

"The Harvard Square Donut Tour was fun! Ria was a fantastic tour guide. Four different stops with four different types of donuts. It is hard to say which one was my favorite. They were all delicious. She taught us the history of donuts and gave us information about Harvard Square. I would definitely take another tour!"
"My work team booked a private tour of Harvard Square with Off The Beaten Path Food Tours as a going away activity for a coworker. Booking with Lizzie & Sam was super easy even though we booked with relatively short notice. They were very communicative and accommodating to our needs and Roberta, our tour guide, was wonderful!...We got the opportunity to try spots we haven't tried before and learned bits of history that were new to us...It was a fun outing and great team bonding activity!"
"My parents and I enjoyed a great food tour of Union Square. We tried samosas, quesadillas, and many other delicious foods ranging from Peruvian to Himalayan. By the end, we were stuffed! Along the way, we learned about the represented cultures and cuisines from both our guide (James) and the owners of the restaurants, but also about the history of Union Square, Somerville and the US. James was a wonderful guide; knowledgeable, entertaining, and skilled at keeping the conversation flowing."
