Boston By Foot has been around for more than 30 years now, providing walking tours of Boston throughout the year except from November to April, when it might be a little chilly, but if your not in Boston during the spring and summer, they have custom tours at any time of the year. These tours aren't of the whole city, rather they focus on a specific neighborhood or theme, so the tour won't be as long as you would expect. They go to various places, such as the Victorian Back Bay, a beautiful place, and the Freedom Trail in downtown Boston. Each tour comes with the story of Boston and it's rich history, while experiencing beautiful architecture back since the beginnings of Boston in 1630. Each tour goes to multiple important historical cities such as the location of the Boston Tea Party. Some other tours include, Beacon Hill, Ashmont Hill, a Contemporary Boston tour, the Wharf District, The Liberty Hotel, etc. There are so many to choose from. However, not every tour is available everyday, so you should use careful planning if you are planning to go on one of these tours, but they do have tours everyday. The address is 77 North Washington Street if you want to go check them out. It's a really cool company and if you are planning to go on a walking tour of Boston, I would recommend this one from personal experience. Boston is a wonderful place and I can't think of a better way to experience it now that I've experienced a walking tour for myself.

I took a look around for some other walking tour companies and one that came up was at a website called Walking Tours of Historic Boston at Walkingboston Now, I've never actually taken a tour from this company so this is all information from their website. Unlike Boston By Foot, Walking Boston is a private tour company so it's smaller group and there's more questions you can ask and more info you can get out of it. There are 14 historic sites that you could potentially visit, all linking to Boston's rich history. The tour guide shares original documents and newspapers from the colonial period so you would hear stories that wouldn't be heard by anyone else, which makes this a truly unique tour. You must book your tours in advance since this is a private tour company. Rates are $130.00 for a private family tour (under 10 people) and $13 for adults and $10 for children under 12 for a group tour of 10-30 people. I would like to take a tour at the company and experience Boston with them, but I don't have family in Boston, but for those that do, this seems like a wonderful company to experience Boston with. They are located at 221 Massachusetts Ave.

So, whether you live in Boston or you're just visiting or going to visit, I recommend experience Boston in a way unlike any other, a walking tour. It's a really cool experience that anyone would love. Whether you want to go in a public tour and a lot of people or a private tour with just some close friends and family, both options are wonderful for any time of the year. You'll learn a lot about the history of Boston while hearing enjoyable stories and seeing the most amazing buildings. Walking tours of Boston are absolutely amazing.

The Upper Crust Pizzeria, this is a place that you have to go, no matter what. I go there at least every time I go down to Boston and I haven't had a better pizza elsewhere. This award-winning pizzeria was founded in 2001 now with 10 locations just in Boston where you can find delicious pizza created in a welcoming atmosphere in an open-kitchen area. Their sauce mixed with the savory cheese and the toppings on top is just bliss. Whether you're a classic pizza eater who prefers pepperoni and mushrooms or someone who would like to try something new, The Upper Crust has toppings for everybody out there. One thing that I really like is that I can go there and hang out with my friends to watch some sports on their HDTV screens. It's pretty sweet. Whenever I want to just chill and hang out with some of my buddies, I can enjoy and mouth-watering meal while enjoying the company of my friends and my favorite basketball team. The Upper Crust that I usually head to is the one downtown on 245 Summer Street. If you need directions search for it on Google maps.

Another place that is just the best is Santarpio's Pizza. They were voted Best of Boston for 6 years. Many locals that I have talked call this place as the city's premier pizza place and after eating there one time, I would have to agree. The pizza's are almost perfect, crust on the edges are nice and crunchy while the inside is a little bit softer, but still equally delicious with the added bonus of the toppings. Once you walk into the building you would notice that the meat is cooked on a grill right inside of the front door. The pleasant smell instantly awakens your senses and the other aromas of the tomato, cheese, and fresh dough tantalize your taste buds. I can guarantee that you'll be satisfied, and you'll just wanting more and more, it's such a good pizzeria, I'm so glad that I discovered it. It's located on 111 Chelsea Street, once again, if you need directions search for it on Google maps.

And when I'm not eating my meals at those two pizzerias, I'm usually spending my lunches at diMio's. This place is just as good as the two listed above. I've talked to some of the chefs and they are trained by some of the greatest from Naples, offering a true Neapolitan style pizza using the freshest and finest ingredients, or so they say. But, seriously, they do cook up some of the best pizza around, ever. I've talked to one of the chefs and asked him some questions about their pizzas and they say that they are a healthy restaurant and don't put any “trans fat” into their pizzas. That's pretty good, but in comparison, I really don't know if other places do actually put it in, but I suppose they might. They also considered themselves pretty environmentally friendly with 85% of their containers are made of recycled materials. A pretty good place eh? Along with all of that goodness around, who could say no to such a place? The dining room is just perfect with the colors matching and a nice clean and trimmed place. They also serve wine, salad, and paninis, so you won't ever leave hungry. They are located at 1782 Massachusetts Ave. Look up directions on Google maps if you need directions.

And so, those are my top 3 pizzerias from Boston and if you ever go there on a business trip or just for a vacation, you should definitely visit one of those. Which one? Doesn't matter to me, they all taste just as good. Gather up family and friends and enjoy a nice, hot lunch at one of Boston's finest.
