Connie Walsh

Boston, Massachusetts Travel Agent

Boston & New England

Boston skillfully combines history with a modern cosmopolitan vibe: cobblestone streets lead to waterfront hotels and buzzworthy restaurants. Culture runs deep here, from the MFA's world-class collections to the contemporary edge of the ICA. Boston is a FANatical sports city, and its Fenway Park is a cathedral of baseball woven into daily life. Go Sox!

Its neighborhoods add more flavor: the North End’s Italian roots shine through in handmade pasta and rich family traditions, while Chinatown buzzes with dim sum spots, late-night noodles, and authentic, flavorful dishes. Between Beacon Hill’s gaslit beauty, the Freedom Trail, and the Seaport’s sleek dining rooms, Boston is a cityscape made for wandering.

Boston is also the gateway to New England-classic America, offering dramatic coastlines, white-clapboard villages, boutique resorts, and landscapes that shift gracefully through all four seasons. The region’s culinary identity is built on exceptional local sourcing: day-boat scallops, oysters, lobsters, artisan cheeses, heirloom apples, maple, and more. From Boston’s history and culture to Maine’s coastal hideaways to Vermont’s chic farm retreats and Rhode Island’s discreet beach enclaves, New England has much to offer. You should come!

I love Boston, not just because it’s my hometown, but because it – and the New England region offer so much. I love being a tourist in my own city! And I personally travel from Massachusetts’ Cape Cod to Cape Ann and beyond to all our neighboring states.

As a member of the Boston Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier (an international organization of women in the culinary and hospitality industries and the Boston chapter of SKAL (a global professional association for leaders in the travel and tourism industry.) I keep up with tourism, hotel, and restaurant updates in the region, as well as cultural and culinary experiences.

I’d be pleased to introduce you to Boston and beyond….

A terrific Thailand vacation

My partner and I decided to go to Thailand but didn't know where to begin planning a trip until our friend recommended contacting Connie Walsh. She made it so easy and we couldn't thank her enough for the options she suggested. It ended up being an amazing trip. She helped us navigate both Bangkok and Chiang Rai. She also hooked us up with great guides on the ground like Nattapong Bobo Nat Jongboonsab. And did I mention that she's great to deal with and a lot of fun?

Three terrific tours-and an exotic river cruise

I’ve worked with Connie Walsh on the custom design of three international group tours. Connie created and operated a 14-day culinary tour in France’s Lyon and Provence for us. Our days were a kaleidoscope of vineyard visits, market tours, and cooking classes interspersed with art and cultural experiences. Many of the well-traveled 14 people on our tour – myself included – declared it one of our most memorable European trips. Through Connie and Forks on the Road, we explored Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. We made pasta, met artisanal cheese, prosciutto di Parma and honey producers, as well as the region’s famed black pigs. She also booked a luxury cruise for 20 of us on the Mekong River and book-ended it with stays in Vietnam and Cambodia. We all loved the boutique hotels she selected on each of the tours and were impressed with her network of guides. Additionally, Connie made individual pre & post-tour arrangements for some of the group members. All were pleased. Highly recommended!

Discovering destinations through their cuisines.

I have been on two group tours ( customized for culinary professionals) - with Connie and Forks on the Road, One to the UK and another to Emilia Romagna, Italy. Both were terrific!
