My husband and I went on the Tour on a Saturday morning. It was soooooooo informative and we really had a great time. Our tour guide, Beth, was amazing. We felt like we were in Italy. What a great place, Little Italy, Boston. Thanks, so much.

Our guide was perfect! He provided a weath of historical information and current insights about the area, the people and the food & drink. My wife and I (in our 60's) and our sons (26 & 29) thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour adventure. Within our group were locals and tourists. All seemed to enjoy the tour. I highly recommend it. |

We had Jim, who combined his knowledge of food, history, Italian and Italian-American culture into a marvelous tour that was well-paced, dynamic and fun. I have trained tour guides for 35 years and I know a good one when I see it! |

A must do tour for anyone interested in Boston |

I was going on this tour because once I had told my wife about it, there was no turning back. I can't say I was looking forward to it, but I was so WRONG!
This was one of the best, most informative, and tasty tours that I have ever taken. I'm a picky eater, so I was really concerned, but I had a blast.
Our tour guide was a chef who was currently on a break from working, but he was so knowledgeable and friendly.
Every stop on the tour was an EXPERIENCE. I've never done anything like it, but I hope to find more tours like this one in other cities I visit.
Enjoy, I know my wife and I did. We've been raving about the tour to anyone who will listen. |

Our tour guide, Jim, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the North End neighborhood, culture, and food. Seeing and smelling everything he described in small shops and groceries was fascinating, and even more fun when we could taste samples. The tour requires lots of standing, but was a highlight in many visits and tours of Boston.

I absolutely loved this tour. I had been wanting to do it for some time and I am so glad that I did. The guide (Jim) was just great. He was VERY knowledgable about both Italian foods and history of the North End. We got a great tour that included pastry shops, Italian groceries, wine shops, spice shops, etc. I learned so much that I cannot wait to organize all my notes. We got very helpful handouts and had so much fun. It is one of the best tours I have ever taken anywhere. I will recommend it to any of my friends that are traveling to Boston. |

A great morning |

Great way to spend some time with good friends. You do not have enough time to buy items at the individual stores on the tour because there is so much to see. Try to do a morning tour and plan to eat lunch in the North End and then head back to some of the shops you visited. |

It may have been raining but the day was wonderful |

I grew up in an Italian American family. This tour was like reliving my childhood while learning thing I did not know. Now I understand why my family did things the way we did. Jim was a great our guide and teacher. My friends and I are looking forward to joining you again when you get that China town tour orgainized! |
