What to expect
Boston Public Market
Start your morning at the Boston Public Market and taste the New England difference in one of the region's most important agricultural products: apples! Apple cider donuts await you to fuel the rest of your explorations. If that wasn’t enough, you'll taste a bit of history at a second market stall in the form of a surprising 17th-century snack with English roots
Freedom Trail
Follow in the footsteps of the revolutionaries as you walk the historic Freedom Trail, where Boston’s history unfolds alongside the birth of America. And don’t worry...there’s more food coming your way!
Union Oyster House
There's no better place to continue your Boston history lesson than at an iconic restaurant that hasn't closed its doors since 1826. This makes it not only the oldest restaurant in Boston, but the oldest one with continuous service in the entire United States! You'll sit in the very booth that was reserved for the 35th president, John F. Kennedy, to taste creamy clam chowder and another coastal classic: oysters!
North End
Hit the Freedom Trail again and wind your way over to the North End neighborhood, where Italian influences offer a delightful change of pace.
Pauli's
Stop at a fourth-generation family-run eatery specializing in hot and buttery lobster rolls—a quintessential New England classic. This particular spot must not be missed while in Boston—they've even been featured on Good Morning America!
Polcari’s Coffee
Next, step back in time to the 1930s with a visit to a hole-in-the-wall neighborhood coffee joint and enjoy a taste of Boston’s Italian past.
Caffè Paradiso
Finally, you'll wrap up at a family-run favorite pastry shop in the North End and finish on a sweet note with a melt-in-your-mouth cannoli.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
