What you can expect

Meet your guide in Boston’s vibrant Seaport District and kick off your journey with a behind-the-scenes visit to a legendary family-run seafood business. Tour their lobster processing facility and enjoy a tasting of a classic New England seafood staple. From there, stroll along the scenic Harborwalk, where you’ll hear stories of Boston’s maritime past and take in stunning views of the skyline and harbor.

Next, explore the oldest continuously operating fish pier in the U.S., gaining rare access to the inner workings of the seafood industry. Learn how Boston’s catch travels from boat to plate around the world in record time. Along the way, stop at local seafood shacks and markets to sample Boston’s freshest offerings—lobster roll, clam chowder, and seasonal specialties like oysters, scallops, or fried clams.

Discover how Boston Harbor became one of the cleanest urban waterfronts in the world, thanks to efforts by Save The Harbor, our proud conservation partner. End your tour with a final tasting from a century-old family business along Fort Point Channel, then relax at the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Your guide will share insider tips for more places to eat, drink, and explore.
