The tour was very organized and well thought out, but I feel it was a bit expensive for what it offered. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and was very professional. |

My husband and I just moved to the area and my mother-in-law was visiting for the holidays. We all loved the tour. It was lots of fun and very informative. I learned so much about Italian culture and Italian cooking. Seeing the North End in light of the tour was very nice. We will definitely visit the North End for shopping and eating as often as we can! I think that the tour is great for both locals and tourists! |

I brought my parents and my daughters (ages 10 and7) on the tour--each of us enjoyed it. Beth, our guide, really knew her stuff and answered questions from all. Sample provided by the various stops on the tour were perfectly proportioned and gave a well-rounded sampling of the North End's best.
Lots of fun. |

A full on 3 hours, not for the faint hearted. A fabulous find and an intensive informative insight into Boston's Italian heritage and food. Like us you will need to be passionate about food and wine. |
|
Good tour. |

I was familiar with most of the shops we toured and nearly all the samples tasted. Therefore I was slightly disappointed that there was not much new for me. Anyone with less knowledge than I had would find it highly informative. I would recommend to anyone not well aquainted with italian cooking. Or to cooks who don't know where or what to shop for. And it would make a fun day for tourists. |

informative and entertaining. |

Michele was our guide for this tour. She has alot of knowledge about the area and the different tips in prolonging the product you are buying. Each store's information was valuable and useful in learning the different vegetables, fruits, and wines that is not commonly found in my area of the country. Later, when you visit these shops again, the clerks/owners knows who you are and makes you feel even more welcome to shop in their stores/shops. I really enjoyed the tour very much and will do it again . Thanks again, Michele, for making my afternoon the most enjoyable visit to Boston. |

I was taken by Michelle's knowledge, charm, humor, and great love and passion
for Italien cooking and foods. I was taken by her knowlege and interest in nutrition
and healthy eating habits. Refreshing in this day and age.
I emailed her with a question when I got home. Her response was quick and
very informative.
I would give her tour an A++. |

Even thought I live in NH, I found this tour full of new and interesting ideas regarding the North End. My next trip to the area will be heightened by what I learned. I would even consider shopping in the area now that I have been exposed to new foods, and a deeper understanding of the "best" food products. What a good way for my friend and I to spend an afternoon in Boston- not doing the same old things. Thanks. |

Great way to start the day |

We had a really wonderful morning walking and eating our way around the noth end of Boston. Our leader was very knowledgable, imparting her wisdom and thoughts as we made our way from one delight to another. Would highly recommend this trip for all sightseers to Boston. |
