Great tour if you like to cook
Sat, Aug 1  1:00 PM LynnClancy Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
We had a great time being introduced to the small shops of the North End. We love to cook with wonderful ingredients. After the tour we went back and purchased several things that we are using almost daily. Many thanks. Lynn

The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. I liked being exposed to the individual stores. The food and drink part are only somewhat interesting. The price is way out of line.

Couldn't stop talking about the tour.

My husband and I enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was fantastic . He really gave us a flavor of the neighborhood and the food. I returned to the north end with friends for the next couple of days after our daily classes. I was able to share our experince each time. We felt like we were a part of the neghborhood, because we had learned so much during the tour. We are from Washington state and will certainly recommend your tour. I wish we would have had time for your other tours but we will be back to Boston and will take advantage of your other tours. My grandfather came from Italy, my mother, his daughter, lives with us so she has really enjoyed the stories we have brought back to share with her. Our only regreat we can not remember the tour guides name. He was wonderful and we would like to sing his praises using his name. If you could share it with us it would be great. We thought it was Jim but am not certain.

Tour of "Little Italy" was excellent.

The group leader gave a thorough overview of the North End before we started the tour. He was very knowlegeable of the area, and the establishments we visited. I really appreciated the variety of the places we visited. Each place was unique in its own way. Adding a couple more resturants to the tour would add to this enjoyable experience.

Fun, Delicious, and Informative!
Wed, Jul 29  10:00 AM llnorman2000 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour was well worth the expense. Our guide, Jim, was incredibly well versed in Italian cuisine and food customs, the cultural heritage of the Italian regions, the North End neighborhood and its history, Boston in general, and cooking in general. It was by far the most enjoyable tour I've ever been on and gave more insight into the neighborhood in 3 hours than we could have uncovered in an entire week on our own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning something new, cultivating new experiences, soaking up local color, or just dabbling in some damn good grub!

Wicked fun tour for Boston residents
Sat, Jul 25  1:00 PM thrasherb Female 20-29 Unspecified Unspecified
This tour was really fun. There were plenty of stops and samples and it seemed well worth the money. I would say though that I think the tour is more geared towards people who live in the city or travel into the city frequently. Most of the tour was showing us hole in the wall places and what they have for sale, which is interesting but not super useful if you don't come to the city often. I thoroughly enjoyed it as a resident of Boston and not knowing much about the north end. Not saying you shouldn't go on the tour if you aren't from the city, there is plenty of history and tastings to give you an idea of what the north end and Italian cooking is about. I think it was my favorite thing I've done in the city in the time that I have lived here.

Not Just For Locals
Sat, Jul 25  10:00 AM Eyberg Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
My daughter and I are from the Midwest and I was concerned that the tour would be slanted toward local residents. We never would have explored the North end in such depth without the tour. Our tour guide was fantastic and reviewed the history of immigration in this area and the contribution of every culture. We met some very interesting characters and sampled some great Italian delicasies. One member of our group even receives a birthday cake which he shared with the group!
