Overview

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.
