| We had a great time on the tour despite the weather, and the fact that we had someone in a wheelchair. The guide was very accommodating and attentive with us. We loved the tastes and the only recommendation I have is to add a bit more of that. The background and history are great and I liked that the guide had a relationship with the vendors... We will reccomend it to friends, but tell them to wait for summer! It was freezing! |

| I would highly recommend the Boston North End Market Tour. I went on the tour last week and Jim was my tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable of the North End history and of authentic Italian cuisine. I loved all of the background information and learning about new ingredients that I haven't tried before. All of the food samples were delicious and reinforced all of the information from the tour. The next time I am in Boston, I plan on taking the tour again for a refresher! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Jim was quite knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The tour itself was awesome. The stores we entered were worth going to and we will return to these establishments. We are looking forward to taking the Chinatown tour. |

| Even though the weather was cold, this tour was hot! We learned so much from our guide about Italian food, culture, & history. I felt like I knew the neighborhood by the end.
I would have liked to go a few more places & been able to sample a few more things, though. |

Well informed and entertaining

| The tour was fantastic. As someone who lives in Boston, I learned so much about the history of the North End as well as where to buy certain items. Couldn't have been better! |

| Jim, our guide was full of fun as well as information on the North End of Boston! He gave a brief overview of the ethnic groups which occupied the area in the past and brought us up to date on the current occupants of this very special part of the city.
He made us feel as if we were a part of the community, if only for a few hours! The market owners were welcoming which encouraged us to go and shop in their stores after the tour ended.
We learned that there were "male and female" eggplants and how to select the best in your local market.....as well as what makes a "real" balsamic vinegar stand out in taste tests.
We would go on this tour again, and plan on bringing more friends along the next time! |
