Because we believe in a creative blend of fact and fiction to deliver the best story!
Just kidding. Mostly.
The name "Mostly Accurate" is our tribute to the long tradition of oral storytelling. From Homer’s The Odyssey, passed down by word of mouth for generations before it was written down, to long-forgotten poets recounting the epic of Beowulf in smoky mead halls, to beloved American folk legends like George Washington and the cherry tree or the tale of Paul Revere's midnight ride, storytellers have always shaped history into memorable narratives. We aim to do the same, staying true to the facts while embracing the spirit of a great story!
Our food tours are about 1 mile over the course of 3 hours, and our pub crawls are closer to 1⁄2 a mile over the course of 2 hours. We encourage you to wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.
Our historical food tours are totally packed with food! They are designed so that if you come hungry, you will be full by the end. Please don’t eat before your tour!
