| We had a great time and Beth was terrific. I would definitely recommend it to friends who like to cook and who haven't walked around the North End in a while. It was fun. |
|
Heartily recommend this tour.

| The tour was nicely paced with a good mix of local interest/history interspersed with the lessons of Italian cuisine. Jim was a fabulous guide. Even though he must have done this tour a million times, there was nothing rote his presentation. He was just warm, friendly, and knowledgable.
The food samples were wonderful. What better compliment than to say that I have been applying the information learned in the tour since I came home. Thanksgiving is a test to see if we all avoid (don't know how to spell it) agita, now that we know all the ways to avoid it and/or the foods to alleviate it.
Thanks for a wonderful afternoon. I'll look forward to the Chinatown tour on the next visit. |

| I was a little concerned when the tour started but 3 hours flew by with lots of laughs, wonderful information and delicious tastes of Italy. Well worth the money. Our guide (so sorry I can't remember her name) was a joy full of knowledge and enthusiasm. Her love of the North End was unmistakable. |

| I bought tickets for the North End Market Tour for my girlfriend for our three year anniversary. My girlfriend is of Italian descent and loves to cook. She was amazed at all the information that was given to us on the tour and amazed at how much she didn't know about the various Italian food styles. It was the perfect gift for her and she is going to recommend it to the rest of her family. |

| I felt like I was in the presence of my grandparents! This was the most wonderful experience--even more than I'd hoped for. The combination of history and Italian culture was superb. I recommend this for anyone and everyone who wants to connect with their roots. I wish I lived in the North End!! |

| We had heard this tour of the Northend was great from numerous friends- but no one could really describe how fun, historically interesting, and educational this was . Jim was our guide and wove wonderful stories and anecdotes into the walk. LOVED poking around the small stores and trying different foods. Everyone from my group has been enthusiastically recommending this to our co-workers and friends. I've already offered this to friends when they come out to visit! This is THE BEST! |

| This tour was very fun and very educational. I'll never look at a bottle of olive oil the same. My father is first-generation Italian-American, and it took him back to his childhood; he absolutely loved it. Our tour guide, Jim, was funny and very knowledgeable about Italian cooking and its history. I would recommend this tour very highly! |
