  • Harvard Square (Cambridge) Chocolate Tour (Non-Refundable)

    Anonymous • May 13, 2025
    Lemon was an incredible guide! The tour was a great mix of different types of chocolate, combined with interesting historical info about both chocolate and Harvard Square. The pace of the tour was excellent and Lemon had prepared all the stops for our arrival so we were able to get our chocolate treats right away.
  • Union Square (Somerville) Food Tour (Refundable)

    Nick C. • February 5, 2024
    Our guide Adam was awesome and his commentary added an additional level of flavor to the tour. For the price, I would have liked to receive a bit more food. The quantities were fairly small
  • Harvard Square (Cambridge) Chocolate Tour (Refundable)

    Great tour! Very substantial tastings, big portions of delicious treats with chocolate incorporated in all. Love that the company seeks out locally sourced establishments and supports small businesses! Perfect amount of history and tastings. Just wish I didn’t get so full! Also accommodated lactose intolerance very well!

    Julia W. • December 28, 2023
    Tour size of twelve persons, duration of 90 minutes and choice of venues were ideal. The samples were delicious. Our guide gave us just the right amount of information. Harvard Square was lively but not overcrowded. Even the weather was perfect!

    The guide was amazing! So knowledgeable and very sweet!we definitely enjoyed the tour, but I wish it would have been focused more on chocolate. It felt more like a dessert tour. However, it was still great to try the different places! Thank you all so much!

  • Central Square Cambridge Food and Mural Arts Tour (Refundable)

    Stephanie S. • October 3, 2022
    This was a fun way to explore Mass Ave and the murals along its length in Central Square. The guide was knowledgable about the artists and the pace was relaxed. Portions at the food stops were very generous and we visited some restaurants that would not generally have tried.
