Off The Beaten Path Food Tours is set to premiere its new Boston Chocolate Tour in late April 2025. The company, founded by a local couple passionate about delicious food, has been offering award-winning food and chocolate tours since 2017. The new chocolate-focused adventure will take guests on a delightful journey through Boston’s historic Beacon Hill, Boston Common, and the Boston Public Market. Tour participants will have the opportunity to explore the rich history of chocolate while sampling an array of treats, from chocolate truffles to unique cacao tea and single-origin chocolate bars.

Explore Boston’s Best Chocolate Offerings and Instagrammable Spots

Whether you’re a local or a tourist visiting Boston, the new Boston Chocolate Tour promises an unforgettable experience. Guests will visit some of the most instagrammable spots in the city, including the Embrace sculpture in Boston Common and Acorn Street, one of Boston’s most picturesque streets. Along the way, participants will discover small businesses and female entrepreneurs who play an integral role in Boston’s local food scene while enjoying premium chocolate samples. These include locally roasted cacao beans, dried cacao fruit, cacao husk tea, and Boston’s famous cream pie, among others.

“Small business owners are the heartbeat of our city, and we’ve carefully selected the best chocolate treats while highlighting the neighborhoods that make Boston so special,” said Lizzie Bell, founder of Off The Beaten Path Food Tours. “We already host a very popular Harvard Square Chocolate Tour, and now we’re excited to bring this delicious experience to the downtown area, where guests can enjoy new chocolate varieties and immerse themselves in the rich history of these charming neighborhoods.”

The Boston Chocolate Tour lasts 2.5 hours and includes six stops where guests will sample some of the best chocolate in Boston.
