A Bit About Us...

Our Food Tours in Boston will allow you to get to know the food, history and cultural aspects of the city.

Alex Gagnon founded Yummy Walks, Food Tours in Boston in conjunction with Guide Service of Boston, Inc. At the end of a 28 day hiking expedition of the Appalachian Trail with only a handful of trail mix and an apple left, he thought about combining a great walk with plentiful food. After taking many food tours in various cities he felt that the historical aspects of the tours were lacking and often he left the tour hungry. Alex wanted to combine a professional city tour with a food tour to get the best of both touring options. So he approached the Guide Service of Boston, a tour leader in Boston for 18 years, to utilize their knowledgable guides and partnered with iconic food vendors to provide an in depth tour of Boston as well as enough food for a meal for most people. His vision is to have the first comprehensive city tour of Boston as well as plentiful food along the way.
Guests will have a professional Boston Tour and a Food Tour in one!
