| This was my 3rd time taking the tour. The last time I took it was on a January morning several years ago. My boyfriend and I had been in to the NE for dinner with this other couple several times and I suggested the tour. I made the reservations months ago so we all had it to look forward too as an early Fall event.
Our guide (Jim) was very enthusiastic and knowledgable and having a little rain was not an issue. My fears that the friends would not be interested were put to rest within the first few minutes when they kept saying, "I never knew this, I had no idea, etc., etc" and had some questions. We all learned a great deal -- all of us worked in produce at some point in our lives but never knew of the male and female eggplants!
I have e-mailed the link for the tours to a few co-workers, an Insurance agent friend, and to my chiropractor in just this week because I had shared with each what a nice take it is.
We'll be booking the China town tour soon! |

| Four of us attended a Saturday tour - we had a great time even though it was raining a little (on and off) - Jim was our guide and he couldn't have told us more information - he was constantly talking and giving us a history lessson of the area and reviews or recommendations for products.
I would recommend this tour to anyone!!! |

| Beth, our tour leader, was very enthusiastic. She provided historical information as we toured around the North End. She also shared some of her own cooking and baking tips with us. The storekeepers were very welcoming and accomodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. |

| I have been to the North End many times, but this was still a great introduction and learning experience, and a great way to spend a Saturday morning. I would highly recommend it to everyone. |

| This is the second time i have taken this tour. The first time, several years ago, was with Michelle. I enjoyed the tour and learned some new things this time but, a few years ago i did the Seattle Pike Place Market tour, also purchased through Zerve. That was a phenomenal food tour and has become the gold standard against which i judge all other culinary tours. |
