| I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in food and learning more about Boston. Our guide was excellent and we learned so much about the area and the markets that we visited. We just returned from three weeks in Europe and this was a refreshing change in a tour. If you are coming to Boston, don't miss it! |

| Michele was a very informative , friendly and interesting guide. She would share a few recipes along the way. I learned alot about using healthier ingredients in my cooking. I wanted to buy everything, but will have to retrace my steps at a later date.
Wish I had the time that day to go back and shop. It was a very pleasant way to spend time with friends in Boston. |

| I've lived less than 30 minutes from the North End all my life - I learned about fabulous places to buy great products; tasted amazing foods and desserts, learned a zillion better ways to cook pasta, which ones to buy, the difference between good pine nuts and great ones, tasted fruits I'd never heard of before and learned history and fun facts -
went back the next day with three shopping bags full. My girlfriends and I all had a blast and many wished we brought our husbands. Funny, the next day shopping I bumped into a tour of couples (probably around 40-55 yrs of age) and they were ALL having a blast - and I heard some of them talking about it afterwards in a local restaurant and also giving it rave reviews ! GO - I can't imagine anyone not enjoying it from early 20's to late 90's ! |

| My wife and I are natives of the Boston area, and despite all of the times we have visited the North End in our lifetime we learned much that we did not know about Boston's beloved little Italy. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to spend time with for the 3 hours wandering through the streets and shops on the tour. A very good mixture of history, humor, and education. Learned much about the food and what the best ingredients to look for and where to find them. The tour was well structured and paced. The sights, scents, and tastes were wonderful. I now know how to select the best eggplant when I am dispatched to the grocery store. We would highly recommend for locals as well as distant travelers. Everyone will enjoy. |

| My husband and I had gone on this tour 2 years ago and enjoyed it tremendously. My parents were coming to visit from out of town and we thought this would be fun to do with them. Not only did they absolutely love it, but we loved it the second time around! Michele's depth of knowledge about the area and the local and original cuisine is remarkable, and she is a fantastic guide and narrator. My entire family enthusiastically recommends this for anyone - locals and tourists alike! You will not be disappointed. |

| It was a great day, even for our teenage kids! Went into many stores and loved the food samples! We learned alot even though we have an Italian heritage and live nearby. Can't wait to go back and do some more shopping! |

| I thought the tour was great. Relatives were here for Thanksgiving and we have all seen the standard sites, multiple times. Learned about a living in the North End, not visiting there. Would definitely go back to some of the stores! |

| Beth is a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. We passed many stores we have walked by for years, but on the tour, we entered these shops and entered a new world. It was exciting and fun. We learned about North End history and a great deal about ingredients and cooking. We had a great deal of fun, will return to shop at these stores and highly recommend this experience. Stan |
