What You Will Do
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.

This was the perfect tour for us, two adults who wanted a food and walking experience in Cambridge.
Our tour guide was Sean D. He had exceptional knowledge about the Cambridge and its local area, with focus on good local food.
He didn’t forget to send a note about preparation in terms of weather in advance. We met him as planned on a sunny, chilly spring day, walked through the Harvard square, with rest stops including plenty of food, drinks and a few toilet stops.
Few of my highlights were the buildings of the Harvard, coffee at clover food lab, Hourly oyster house- fried clam bun with jack and Abbey’s larger, Pinocchio’s pizza slice, Bao bun from Tiki bar, Boston cream donuts, and mostly the interesting stories that Sean was telling. He is a great tour guide, worth every dollar/ penny!
This walking tour was amazing and filled our day with lot of food for dinner as we couldn’t get through the food. You could miss breakfast on the day, surely Do not book dinner on the day of the tour. The food was delicious, stories were great!
