| Chris Rossetti's tour of the North End was by far the best tour of Boston I have yet encountered. As a resident of Massachusetts I have been here on many occasions but never have I experienced the tastes, smells and culture of this truly special place. Chris shared all the hidden gems of the North End that give this region its wonderful flair. I could have easily spent another 3 hours enthralled with everything there is to offer- especially the food!

| Highly recommend tour. I live on the South Shore and traveling into Boston from time to time. Rarely do I take the time to visit the historical areas such as the North End of Boston. Mr. Rosetti takes you through a very informative historical tour of the area with great stories of the past. If you have a couple of hours to spare in downtown Boston don't hesitate to pass this event by. |

| As locals, we found the tour to be historically fascinating and really enjoyed the behind the scenes parts. We walked through areas of the North End we had never seen or noticed on previous visits. We also liked the tips on the restaurants and coffee shops (we went to 2 of them after we finished the tour). This tour is great for locals and tourists - locals will gain new insight and appreciation for one of their neighborhoods. Tourists will learn about a great neighborhood that is losing it's heritage. Chris is very engaging and makes the tour interesting and fun. It was an enjoyable 3 hours. |

| The owner/tour guide really knew the culture and heritage of the North End and presented it in a very interesting manner. He has an ability to tell a good story and the personal experience that we had with local shop keepers was exceptional. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the North End. We have been to the North End many times before, however, we visited and enjoyed many places off the beaten path that we would not have known about if we had not taken this tour.
It's like looking at the North End with a new set of eyes now that we know some of the stories and history involved that made the North End the unique neighborhood it is.
Chris is extremely knowledgeable and easy to be with. We had the feeling we had known him for a long time after spending just 3 hours with him. |

| We have walked the Freedom Trail on our own during past visits. We since have had some enjoyable walking tours in several cities in the world and decided to try one in Boston. We're glad we did. Chris lives in the North End, loves the area and loves history. He has researched the various groups who have settled in Boston since the 1600's, and he is a good storyteller. The North End is a vibrant community today and is home to many Italian businesses and restaurants. Chris knows the best ones whose offerings are reasonably priced. At the end of the tour, we were just where we needed to be for a delicious lunch. If you'd like to refresh your sense of history of this area with its destinations like The Old North Church and Paul Revere's house, I recommend this fun and informative tour. |

| We had visited Boston's North End on our own in the past and enjoyed it. On this trip I saw a flyer for this tour and thought it would be interesting to learn more of the history of the North End and its Italian population. My son and I met Chris at Columbus Park where he immediately impressed us with his enthusiasm for his subject. Chris lives in the North End and his passion for the neighborhood and the historical research he has performed led to the best tour I have ever taken, and I have taken several. It was fun to have locals greet us as they said hello to Chris along the way. He took us to a wonderful Italian specialty store where we were served wonderfully fresh, just made mozzarella cheese. He got us the best seats in the house at the Old North Church and took us to the best little gelato place in the North End. He provided us with both current and historical maps of the North End along with a list of the North End feast dates and all the best restaurants for traditional Italian American comfort food. His attention to detail, his knowledge and his thorough enjoyment of introducing us to his neighborhood made this a truly remarkable tour. |
