Food Tours in Boston

Eat, think, and be merry—and win!

See the best of Cambridge and Harvard while indulging in tasty snacks along the way on this scavenger hunt-style food tour. You can taste victory! On your culinary adventure, you’ll find surprising facts about John Harvard, a spot where George Washington made Revolutionary history, a bullet hole shaped like an L, the Harvard Lampoon headquarters, a blacksmith and a bookstore made famous by poetry, and more. And that doesn’t even touch upon the many delicious eateries you’ll also discover.

The incredible edibles include…

• Cardullo’s (cricket lollipops, anyone?)
• The Hi-Rise Bread Co., featuring surprisingly delicious grilled-cheese sandwiches with mustard
• Pinocchio’s Sicilian pizza and a wall of famous fans
• Herrell’s ice cream, from the man who also gave us Steve’s

One element of teamwork on this hunt: deciding which Munch stops you’ll hit and which treats you’ll share. We’ll make some scrumptious suggestions, of course. You’ll also be challenged to document your culinary conquests by taking creative Team Photos.

The hunt is a feast for all of your senses and has proven popular with all kinds of groups, whether they’re looking for a corporate team-building outing, an out-of-the-ordinary birthday activity, or a great way to have fun with friends and family.

An adventure fit for a foodie

Dig into Boston’s oldest, tastiest neighborhood, collecting treats and answers along the way in this one-of-a-kind food challenge. Starring: a smorgasbord of edible and historical delights, including legendary Italian food shops, Paul Revere’s house, minty hot cocoa, the early stomping grounds of the Kennedys, octopus tentacles, the famous North End Church, gelato that will make you dance, and much more.

Along the way, you’ll take creative Team Photos to document your snap-worthy snacks. 

Your quest could include such snacks as…

• A lobster tail from Modern Pastry or amaretto cannoli from Mike’s Pastry
• A surge of caffeine from espresso at Caffé Paradiso or Caffé Vittoria, the first Italian cafe in Boston
• A scoop of unusual ice cream such as Fruity Cereal and Bourbon Maple Pecan at North End Creamery
• Exotic bonbons such as Espresso Martini and Lavender Lemonade at Petrova Chocolates
• A slice from Parziale’s Bakery, the first to offer pizza in the North End

The game is available any time for private groups, and occasionally we offer the game to the general public on weekends. An International Edition is available for private groups with participants whose first languge is not English.
