Vann was phenomenal! Very knowledgeable of the area. Patient with all of the questions we had. He was patient with all of the stops we wanted to make. We would absolutely recommend him and this tour!
Robin was excellent. We would never have found the places she took us to and the food was exceptional. I could hear every word that she said and she was patient and included everyone in the group.
The tour we took was billed as a food tour. On a food tour you expect to eat No they just took you there. Told you about it and told you to have cash to make sure that you could buy food from the places we went called. If there's no food.
Guide was great. Wish it was more pastas, pizza, etc instead of sweet treats. Too many sweets
Robin was such a character and really knew the history and gems in the neighborhood. Everything we tried from the tour was absolutely fantastic and we learned the juiciest history while on this adventure. North End was my favorite part of our vacation!
Robin, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was not too large of a group and we surprisingly never waited in any lines hardly! We have gone back to the spots that were shown to us. If you’ve never been to Boston and don’t know where to begin, then this tour will be the perfect guide of the North End.
So fun and informative! Robin was a great historian and guide! The food was simply the best!
Robin was great…and the tour was great!
Robin was informative, fun, and paced us really well through all our stops.
Have cash available to buy pizza and pastries. Spencer was knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed walking around the North End. It was a beautiful day therefore lots of people were in the area. I was fairly crowed.
Spencer was wonderful ! Lots of knowledge and lots of patience with the big crowds on a beautiful day !
Tony was an outstanding guide!!!We not only got a food tour, we got a lot of history and personal l stories of the area. The food stops were great—Tony made suggestions on what we might like and we loved them. Holy cannoli it was fantastic!
Great choice because you could choose what you wanted to eat with smaller portions and plenty of time to eat while you learn cool history.
Robin (sorry not sure the spelling), was a really wonderful tour guide throughout the north end. They were so attentive and along with really great knowledge of the good, they had so much awesome historical knowledge. You do have to bring your own cash for items, but the items were relatively inexpensive, and you could get away with $40 in pocket.
Tony did a great job telling us stories about Boston and the various restaurants we went to. We learned a ton, ate quite a bit and had a lot of fun!
Vann was a great guide - thank you for the experience.
Great tour and Tony continued to amaze us with his knowledge of Boston history and gastronomy. We had great pizza and canoli!
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very informative and entertaining. Really enjoyed the food stops.
Super chill way to see Little Italy, pick up some great food and take in a little history, too!
Mickey did a wonderful job with the history and special North End favorite food stops. He gave many stories that were very interesting I enjoyed finding new restaurants that were tucked away...only Bostonians would know about. Highly recommend this tour.
Andy, amazing. So funny and so knowledgeable. Would never have known about the special spots in the North End without him. Thank you.
We had a great day !! The pizza and cannolis were a big hit . Loved hearing of all the history of the streets and restaurants. The tour guide was funny and knowledgeable.
Andy was a great tour guide that gave some great historical facts. It was a great way to see the sites of the North End as well as get some tips on some great authentic Italian food ! We really enjoyed it, would do it again !
Andy was very knowledgeable and we had some great food stops. It was a great way to see the North End and it was a great way to try some great food!! Very worthwhile. Enjoyed walking around town.
Great tour and very informative!
We had such a great time on the Little Italy North End food tour! Mick truly knew the neighborhood intimately and was able to take us to the best spots! He was engaging and had entertaining and historical stories along the way.
Along with the north end tour my fiance and I also did the true crime tour the night before. Tony was just amazing, he told dad jokes, had a great attitude, was very knowledgeable, and just flat out fun to hang out with! He includes everyone in the group and through the tour talks to everyone which is appreciated being from out of town. If I ever come back to Boston with friends I will definitely book these tours again!!!
Tony did a fabulous job with our tour - family of 6 with 4 adult children (17-22). Our resident foodie was over the moon. Tony did a great job showing us some fantastic food stops and well as weaving in history and culture of the North End. He kept the pace just right so we moved along without feeling rushed. He was super easy to hear even on the crowded streets without having to yell. Loved it and would definitely recommend. My only request is that Tony would post the entire Paul Revere song to YouTube - Gen Xers would love it. Rock on Tony!
Yummy food tour! Tony is a fantastic tour guide!
Andy was a great storyteller and we learned so much about the history of the North End. We loved all of the food and tried new things. Highly recommend!
I had the great pleasure of being a part of Mick's tour group and got so much more from it than I was hoping for. While the tour is advertised as a simple food tour through North End, I would strongly recommend it to any lover of history. Our whole group was enthralled by the colorful stories Mick told us about the area's past; both about the rich histories of its famous landmarks as well as lesser known accounts that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else. Just make sure you bring enough cash with you, since most of the establishments along the tour are cash-only.
Beautiful way to know more about Boston , and have a great time with your family!
As Temps. dropped to an historic low, we requested a refund due to the hazards of falling on the walk during our tour of Boston one day earlier. A refund was denied. Not happy!!
Loved the tour! Tony was a top notch guide! I loved the all the stops and the many stories. Recommend this to anyone. Definitely bring cash! It’s all cash only.
It was an Awesome tour, a lot of history.. took me back to high school (lol). Our guide was very informative. The food suggestions were very good as well, he also gave recommendations for shopping. Highly recommend!!
Very informative, my son and I enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide was Great! I recommend this tour, the food stops was great as well.
The tour was cancelled late. I had already purchased parking and lost $30 because it could not be cancelled
our guide was extremely knowlegable about the Little Italy area. He was interesting and fun, and we had a great time. Were able to purchase delish food, at the recommendation of our tour guide (pizza, huge subs, incredible cannolis).
The tour experience was great. Our tour guide, Tony was very informative and engaging and one heck of a rapper.
Such an amazing experience. The tour guide was awesome. We learned about the history of the North End and sampled some delicious food.
We had a great time! We learned so much about the North End and ate the most amazing food. Tony was knowledgeable and funny! Can’t wait to do the other tours! I highly recommend taking this tour!!
Andy was an awesome guide! He shared a lot of historical info about the north end and he was such a nice guy. Even though we live locally and have been to the north end many times it was well worth doing. Would definitely do another tour with Andy and hope to do this same tour again with my dad when he visits in the spring.
We arrived for this tour and found out we were the only ones for that day. Our guide Tony was personable, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour. It was a great mix of North End/Boston history and restaurant/food tour. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommended!
Andy was a phenomenal tour guide with a great personality and deep knowledge of the subject matter. We learned a lot about the North End’s history and had the opportunity to try some great food.
This tour was fun and very informative. Tony was our tour guide and had alot of information about the neighborhood. Tony was a great tour guide.
A mix of information not only about the food of the area but also about the history. Well worth the money.
I can't recommend this tour enough! We learned so much about the history of the North End and its rich Italian-American culture. Our guide was fantastic, sharing stories that really brought the neighborhood to life. We also enjoyed the food along the way! We stopped at several places, including a classic bakery for cannoli, a salumeria for amazing cheeses and meats, and a stop for a slice of authentic pizza. It was the perfect blend of history and delicious food. We left full and with a much greater appreciation for Boston's Little Italy.
Tony gave us lots of great details about the history of Italians in Boston. He helped us appreciate their culture, and understand how important food is to their identity. We LOVED the cannolis!
Tony is a remarkable guide. Fun history and good food too. Hidden back alley spots we would have had no clue of. Highly recommend especially if you get Tony!
