| There is no better way to make an outsider feel welcome in Boston than to take a trip around the delightful North End area with Chris Rossetti.
Architecturally beautiful and full of history, the neighbourhood of North End felt like home walking around with Chris at your side detailing all of the things that made it so exciting and enjoyable for him.
You'll find out everything about the strong Italian heritage of the area, get to know the charming people that live & work in the area.
We were fortunate enough (due to the weather) to have been able to be the sole group in Chris's party, so were treated to an extra specially close experience of the wealth of knowledge that Chris has to share.
To you Chris -- many thanks for such an enjoyable day, it was the highlight of our trip to Boston.
I strongly recommend this for anyone visiting the area who is interested in history, food and architecture. |

| 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 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. |

| Chris is fantastic and well informed of the area that we saw. Not only does he know the general information, but he also knows the GREAT stuff. The fun things and the stuff that you want to know about an area. He took us to local resturants, ice cream parlors and all the good stuff. I was so grateful to learn all that I did, and also experience the true "little italy" of Boston. We went to lunch were Chris recommended, and he was right, it was great. We learned so much, and then we enjoyed the walk around Boston with him. I also loved how he knew so many people, and they made us feel so welcome in their city. If you do any tour this summer while visiting Boston this is the one to do. I realize it may seem tough to walk around, but it was wonderful. The scenery was gorgeous, the buildings were beautiful and the history was so worth hearing about. I look forward to returning to Boston and doing this tour again, or doing another that Chris offers. Thanks again. |

| Would definitely recommend this tour. The tour groups are kept small and Chris is very knowledgable of the history in the area. I am told that the tour will soon evolve to include tastings, which will only make it better! I know it says this on the website, but a word of advice: DO wear sneakers...this is a walking tour and you will walk a lot :) |

| Wow! Was I ever surprised! I had no idea by just walking the streets of the North End of Boston on my own that there was so much depth and history to this quaint area. Our guide, Chris, had so much information that I wanted him to explain and show more. Chris is very eloquent, lots of detailed explanations, but at the same time was able to keep my attention with his great sense of humor.
Don't miss this tour if you're in Boston. |

| Thoroughly enjoyable and much more informative and interesting than expected. This is not your run of the mill tour, but a very insightful look at a wonderful neighborhood by a knowledgeable guide. I was sorry to see it end, the 3 hours passed soooo quickly, I was yearning for more. As an experienced traveler, I can sincerely recommend this entertaining jaunt through the North End's vibrant history. |
