| gave this to my husband for his birthday, I was a little hesitant but he truley enjoyed it and now wants to look into the China town tour. That part of Boston is no longer a race for your life to get accross the road. Great Time. |

| Our tour was much enjoyed as the operator was very informed in regard to the local region, its history and a touch of geography on Italy. We were warmly greeted by the shopkeepers and given many tasty treats along the way from cold cuts, cheese, olive oils, vinegars to yummy goodies to end our tour. We were also given many culinary tips as our tour guide was very knowledgeable in food preparation.
Would love to do it again! |

| My In-laws were here visitng from Florida and we took them on the tour. Even so we llive just outside the city in Lexington and have eaten in the North End many times it was so interesting that we will never again look at the North End in the same.way.The walking was easy for them and the tour guide was wonderful.
Just one thing, maybe a bathroom stop half way would be helpful.
We would absolutely recommed you!

| Beth, our guide, was wonderful. Overall the North End experience with her was informative, fun and delicious! I visited spots I've only casually passed by but now will be permanent visits every time I am in the North End. Living in Boston is faced paced. A tour like this allows you to stop and smell not only the roses but all the wonderful parts of this neigborhood. I HIGHLY recommend this tour, especially to the locals who may be overwhelmed or confused by what's available to them in the North End. |

| This was a great tour of the North End. I really learned a lot about the area, even though I am local and thought I knew a lot already! |

| My husband and I thought it was interesting, but didn't learn alot and thought the ticket price was very high for the value of the tour. We did feel we were lucky that there were only 6 of us as we saw later tours that were 12 to 14 persons and that is way too many for the crowded streets and small shops. |

| I got so much more out of visiting the North End with the group than I would have on my own. Not only did we get to taste some delicious foods, but we learned so much about them. Who knew there was a difference between Chinese and Italian pine nuts and between Nutella for the North American market and that made for the Italians.
It was good to be part of a small group. I didn't have that sense of being herded about and we didn't overwhelm the small shops we visited. I would certainly recommend it to friends wanting to get to know the North End and its food. |

| My tour was a Christmas gift from my daughter. We both went on the tour. Even though she lived in the North End, many places on the tour she had never visited. The tour was perfect gift. We had a great day together. |

| Tour guide ( Dick) was very knowlegable and enjoyable to be with. I would recommend adding 1 or 2 stops and shortening 1 or 2 visits. Perhaps a restraurant or something with a little different twist than the markets. I have recommended it to others. Thanks. |

| My mom and I went on the North End Food Tour a food days ago and had a wonderful time. The guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and knew so many interesting things about the North End, its history and Italy as well. Highly recommended! It was a fabulous tour, we really enjoyed it. |
