Evan was a great tour guide full of factoids and jokes. I had a great time on the tour. Bring your coat and warm shoes if you come during the winter!

We had a very fun and informative tour given by Sean. The food was delicious at all the stops. Especially loved the tiramisu and the clam chowder. We love doing these tours on our trips so we can get more recommendations on where to spend the rest of our time!

We had a brilliant time with Sean Delaney. Got to see the a lot of the history of Boston with great food as we went along. I particularly enjoyed the way Sean told us about his personal connections to the area and the personal history of growing up in the area. Would highly recommend!
