North End Market Tour

We did both the Chinatown and North End Tours with Jim. We learned about wines, pasta, cheese, spices and had wonderful samples at each place. We found terrific places and wonderful people. I highly recommend this tour!!

Highly recommend! Very informative

We really enjoyed all aspects of the tour. The introductory history of the North End and the talk about regional Italian cooking were helpful in setting the context for the rest of the tour. We liked having handouts as a reference for later. The stops were all interesting in different ways, and the "taste treats" were perfect for the settings. Our only suggestion would be to know in advance where the next stop is - the walking pace was brisk, and the North End was VERY crowded. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with the group. Overall, Jim the "tourguide" was knowlegable, friendly, and good about answering questions. We had a great time and I'm already telling people about this little "in town" vacation.

It was a great gift and we had fun! I feel much more confident in the North end and where to go! Our guide was great...I forget his name but he looked like sean connary and was from Rockport!

The guide was very informative, easy to understand. He showed a great wealth of knowledge of both Italy, and Boston's North End. I will be recommending this to many people who are fond of food and the Italian culture.

the guide was extremely knowledgeable

I would definitely recommend this tour. It was very informative about Italian culture. I thoroughly enjoyed the day.

I am so glad that you reminded me to review our tour. Jim was our guide and he was fantastic! We did not expect all the history and information that he shared with us. Definitely learned a lot about the North End....how it has changed through the years. We would definetly recommend this tour and of course it would need to be with Jim! Thanks for a wonderful day.

We took the North End tour on a recommendation from my daughter. She had seen your website and thought we would enjoy it on our next trip to Boston. She was right on. Our guide, Jim, was very knowledgeable about the area and food in general. We learned much about Italian food, shopping for ingredients back home and places to eat in the North End. We also enjoyed learning about the history of the area, etc. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston who loves Italian food.

Very informed guide. Excellent choice of shops. Comfortable length of time. We had a great time.
