Live Like A Local Tours Boston
More than a food tour, Live Like A Local Tours Boston explores the deep history and culture of the Nubian Square community while strengthening the economic affluence of local businesses in Roxbury. We hope you enjoyed experiencing this tour like a local and the food and drinks from local businesses as Collin Knight, owner of Live Like A Local, guided you through the hidden gems of the vibrant neighborhoods that do not often get the exposure they deserve.
