| My husband and I had so much fun on the food tour of the North End of Boston. Michele Topor was very interesting had many facts about the neighborhood. I loved visiting the family shops and the delicious smells and food samples. It was alot of fun and I would do it again if the tour changed. She may have and "alumni tour" I would recommend doing this tour - |

| This was my second time -- I thought my friend from CT would enjoy it and 3 of us made it a birthday gift (with dinner in the No End) for her. The leader was animated and informative. The choice of stores and markets was great and the samples were enjoyable! It might have been good to have a few minutes at the end of each stop to make purchases. Also, if the weather had been really cold or rainy it would not have been pleasant. Overall, highly recommend this tour! |

| Dick was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the area. My cousins and I really enjoyed the tour. We are from different areas of the state of Massachusetts and all learned something new about the North End. |

| We've been going to the North End to eat for years and will continue to do so. With the extensive knowledge of the markets that the tour provided, I plan to do some exciting shopping too! Our guide was terrific! |

| My wife and I purchased this tour and took the tour with my sister and all three of us had the same level of enjoyment after completing the tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the subject, and was friendly, approachable and attentive to the entire group. He also took great pains to ensure that everyone on the tour had any questions answered and in addition, offered up reccomendations for restraurants based on the specific requirements of each person on the tour. We will definitely take this tour again when we are in Boston again and would absolutely reccomend the tour to anyone! Thank you Michele Topor! |

| Our tour guide, Jimmy, was very energetic and well vesed on the the 'inside' information and culture of the north end. His pesonal relationship with shop owners was evident as we entered the shops and markets and encouraged input and dialogue. He made the tour most interesting as he included a history perspective of the Italian heritage and influence on Boston. We enjoyed the afternoon immensly and returned the remaining 3 nights for dinner in area restaurants and tasted bakery delicasies. We would not hesitate to highly recommend this tour. |

| My Mom and I went on the tour, although it was cold, we were in and out of buildings a lot so it didn't seem that bad. Jim has a TON of very interesting data to share.
My Mom is 75 but did just fine with the amount of walking, but she also walked a 5K the next morning!
I had been to the North End several times before, but the info I learned from the tour was excellent. |
