| I was in Boston for a conference and had a free afternoon. Since I was by myself, I wanted a group tour but was looking for something a little different than the regular tourist circuit.
Would DEFINITELY recommend to friends!!! |

| Our leader was a chef and knew a lot about food. He, also, knew a lot about the history of the area. I appreciated the guidance he gave about where to shop. We used the recipees on the web site the next night, and they were wonderful! |

| My husband and I loved both tours which we took last weekend. Jim, the tour guide both days, was well versed in the history of both the North End and Chinatown and spent a good amount of time in the beginning of each tour talking about the history of each area and summarizing what we would be seeing on the tour. We have taken the North End tour several times before and do not remember having this in depth talk and we think it's a great idea. We learned lots of facts which we did not know before. Also, Jim was very knowledgeable about the food items he discussed at each stop and was just a very energetic and upbeat guide. We highly recommend both tours and plan to spread the word among our friends! |

| I feel that the tour covered the just the right amount of history and flavor. (literally and figuratively) Had a wonderful time and will return to the North end much more astutely. |

| Our tour guide, Dick, was fantastic. The shops we visited and the history provided was informative and entertaining. My favorite part was the Italian water ice, how refreshing!! Tasted the best olive oil and rubio I've ever had, and even took some home! Lemoncello was phenominal too. Excellent experience! |

| This tour was fun and informative. We visited places that I had walked by on many occasions but never had the time to stop. We learned a lot about different Italian ingredients and how they're prepared, and a lot about the history of the North End. Well worth the time and money. |

| the tour was great. we learned tons. when beth said, "this is our last stop", i thought, "why do we only get a 1 hour tour?". i looked at my watch, and it had been 3 hours! i was shocked the tour flew by so fast. we will probably do it again in a year. |
