Highlights:The Beacon Hill/Back Bay Food Tour is one of our most popular tours.  On this tour, we  explore two of Boston’s historic neighborhoods. Featured is the restaurant of  one of the country’s “Coolest” “Top 10 Bad-ass Female Chefs”, whose lobster pizza was recently voted as one of the top ten pizzas in Massachusetts by Food Network magazine and Zagat.  Recent celebrity sightings at this restaurant include Matt Damon, Tom Hanks and Lionel Richie.  Also included is a  ”Best of Boston” chocolate winner,  as well as a “Hall of Fame” gluten-free chowder or a “presidential” chowder.  Or “chowdah”, as we like to say.  And we hope you won’t mind if we make a quick stop to visit one of Boston’s popular food trucks, maybe even a local competition winner.  Deviled tea eggs or banh mi, anyone?  But that’s not all.  We’ll visit a Boston breakfast institution that has seen the likes of  Ryan Reynolds, Jack Nicholson, Ben Stiller and Kevin Costner,  as well as a notorious murderer.  We’ll also introduce you to a few hidden gems, such as a fabulous, new wine and cheese shop that’s off the beaten path, and  Oprah’s favorite, go-to gift basket provider.  It’s been featured in her magazine twice!  And we bet you won’t won’t to leave one of our favorite stops: a balsamic vinegar and olive oil bar!  And how could we forget Julia Child’s personal market?  She’d never forgive us!   Before we part, we’ll enjoy some of Boston’s best desserts, perhaps the creations of award-winning or celebrity chefs.  Maybe even a Top Chef!
We hope you’ll join us on Boston’s tastiest food tour as we “Stroll. Sample. Savor. Repeat.”
