Description

Explore Boston's Seaport district and sample some of the city's finest seafood on a gourmet guided tour!

You'll meet your local guide at South Boston Maritime Park, on the corner of D Street and Congress Street. You'll walk around the building to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum, and learn about the history of this major event that contributed to the American Revolution.

You'll then explore Fort Point and the Seaport District, once a bustling commercial port now a vibrant modern neighborhood. You'll continue your stroll along the Harborwalk, a footbridge linking the city's various coastal neighborhoods, and observe Long Wharf, Boston's main port of entry for nearly two centuries.

Your guide will take you to several local establishments, from seafood markets to family-run stalls overlooking the harbor. You'll sample iconic local specialties like lobster roll, clam chowder, as well as other fresh produce depending on the season: stuffed scallops, quahogs, oysters or fried clams.

You'll also enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access to an iconic family-owned lobster processing company and the oldest fishing pier still in operation in the United States. You'll learn about the sustainable practices put in place to preserve marine resources and ensure responsible fishing, in partnership with local organization Save The Harbor.

Before concluding your tour, you'll enjoy an iconic dish from a century-old family business, set on the edge of the Fort Point Channel.

Finally, you'll end your tour at the Rose Kennedy Greenway, an urban park dotted with gardens, artworks and restaurants, just a stone's throw from public transport. Your guide will also be able to recommend the best places to discover if you extend your stay in Boston.
