Attended the tour with my husband (who was celebrating his "50th") and one daughter who is a senior at Boston College (who was also celebrating a birthday), another daughter a sophmore at Johnson & Wales in RI, and my son who is a junior in HS.
Since we all like to cook (especially Italian food), we could relate to the information and also learn a great deal.
We all had a wonderful time and Jim (the tour guide) was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. |

We thoroughly enjoyed our market tour of the North End. We have visited the area several times but never ventured from the main streets. Our guide was very informative. The 3 hours flew by. My group would highly recommend this tour to everyone. |

This is my 2nd time on the north end tour. It was better than ever. I am not a tourist.I live in a different section of the city.
I love getting the "insiders" scoop on everything from cannolis to the best place for an expresso !'
I took 2 of my sisters for a birthday gift. We all enjoyed it immensely.
I would highly recommend it to friends and visitors .
Beth was great !!

I did this tour by myself in Jan 2007, it had been something I had wanted to do for years but it was always sold out when I had been in Boston. (which I guess only supports it's high price per person). It was really fun and informative, my tour guide, Jim, a local chef, was terrific and full of great cooking tips. The candy store was surprisingly my favorite stop, it was unexpectedly full of great cooking ingredients I would not have pegged in a candy store.

Beth was our guide and she was wonderful! I've been to the north end before many times but this tour took us through the history of cultures who have lived there before as well as all the great family owned and run businesses that adhere to old and new Italian American traditions. She also provided us with handouts that were extremely helpful in keeping up with what she was saying without having to take notes the whole time!
With times moving toward the 'big box' shopping ideals, my friends and I try to give our business to the ones we know care about what they do as well as their customers; you could tell right away that every business we visited with Beth was one of those places. The food and drinks we tasted were amazing - we even went back to purchase some of the things we tried after the tour. If you want to get to know the area and you only have a little time to do it this is a great tour. If you have visited but didn't really know where to go to shop for authentic foods this is a great tour for you. We have been talking about the tour for days after we did it. I will definetly recommend this tour to others! |
