Customer Food Tour Reviews

The tour itself was a great balance of fun, food & learning. Our guide presented information in an engaging and interactive way rather than just a lecture…questions and activities allowed us to personally engage with the murals and a nice pace and itinerary that gave us time to digest our food and then fed us again just as we were getting hungry.

My husband and I were looking for something fun to do in the Boston area and we booked the Central Square food and murals tour. The food was delicious and gave us a great taste of the different cultures in Central, and the art and history was really interesting to see and hear about! We highly recommend this tour.

I’ve been on four of their tours, each one was great, but the Central Square Food and Mural Arts Tour was my favorite so far. I loved the food, the guide, and the locations!! The food was amazing at each stop, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the restaurants and city.
