join us on a delicious Tour

We don’t just show you Salem—we help you know it.

Since 2012, Salem Food Tours has served up delicious, fun, five-star walking tours (TripAdvisor and Google) for visitors and locals exploring Salem, Massachusetts. Book one early in your trip — guests say it every time — and you’ll leave knowing exactly where to eat, shop, and explore for the rest of your stay.

Each Tour blends food, walking, and storytelling, with a special focus on Salem’s illustrious spice trade history — the deeper story behind the city everyone thinks they already know. Our history-forward Morning Walk opens with a breakfast treat and closes with a spice tasting; the Afternoon Stroll and Salem Food Tour go deeper into tastings throughout. There’s also a Bridal Tour and custom Private/Group Tours — plus our sister experience, the Salem Spirits Trolley, for groups.

We love this city — so much that we independently produced Food at 400+, a twelve-day festival celebrating Salem’s 400th anniversary in 2026.

Planning a corporate outing? Salem Food Tours custom-builds team and group experiences that are equal parts delicious and memorable — a genuine standout among company event options.

With today’s culinary renaissance and Salem’s renowned food scene, locals and visitors on our Tours agree—Salem is truly a vibrant, fun, and delicious place to explore!

A tour even life-long Salem residents will enjoy!

We had a perfect ladies’ night 2-hour tour to celebrate my 50+ birthday. Karen took care of everything, including our post-tour dinner reservations.  At our stops we enjoyed wine with Israeli spreads and pita, delicious cheeses, chocolates and A&J King olive bread with dipping sauces. We also stopped at a shop specializing in custom scents. We cant wait to do it again!!! Thanks Karen!!!

Best Fun on a Gloomy Day

3 friends and I joined a friendly group of 10 to enjoy Karen’s excellent tour. I learned as much about Salem as I did our wonderful food hosts. I can’t wait to get back to Salem and explore it all again. Karen is passionate and sincere, has a great relationship with the business owners, and can personally vouch for all the great things Salem has to offer. And it’s not all about food – the artisans and historical architecture were amazing!!!
