Our group (local) had an awesome time! We loved the way Michelle provided us with the cuisine history of the North End. We loved her respect, passion and enthusiasm for the North End. Anyone who takes this tour will walk away with a better understanding of the North End and all it has to offer. You'll love it! |

THIS WAS A GREAT TOUR!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! |

I gave this as a birthday present to my husband. His opinion was that the tour of the Boston North End markets was the best present I ever gave him. |
|
Fantastic! |

This was the second time I have taken Michele's tour, even though I am from Washington, DC.. Each time I learned a tremendous amount about the North End, Italian foods, cuisine and cooking. It is a fabulous way to spend three hours, each second of which is worthwhile. Michele's has an engaging personality. She is educational and entertaining. I most enthusiastically recommend the tour. Its actually quite a bargain! |

Michele was amazing. Very informative about the customs of both Italy and the North End of Boston. We had visited the North End many times but now we have so much more knowledge of this neighborhood. |
|
The highlight of our visit to Boston |

Michele is an engaging, knowledgeable tour guide. She incorporates local history, her culinary expertise and her love of the village she is a part of in the tour. Its a great learning experience, but lots of fun as well. |

Michele Topor delivers an excellent tour of the North End! Her comprehensive knowledge of the region and its history, as well as her culinary expertise makes the tour engaging and delightful. Each moment was more tantalizing than the one before and the three hours flew by. Initially interested in the activity as entertainment for out-of-town visitors, I am greatful to have been introduced to the richness of neighborhood mere blocks from my apartment. I cannot wait to return to the North End for future adventures. Thanks so much, Michele! |

Very interesting discussion of Italian foods |

I was prepared for a dull lecture with dates and names of people I hadn't heard of, but was pleasantly surprised by the very interesting discussion about Italian food, wine, and culture. |
 |
Very interesting and information, but a bit pricey |

I went on this tour with my adult son. We are from Chicago and he is a college student in Boston.
Beth did a great job. It was fun to explore many of the shops and bakeries, etc. in the North End. The shopkeepers were very friendly and gracious. Beth was informative and really knew what she was talking about.
My one complaint is that I think the tour was overpriced. Other than that, I would recommend it to friends. |

Buonissimo! |

Beth was a suberb tour guide. This tour was a great way to learn about authentic Italian ingredients and the best places to find them in the North End. It was interesting to learn about what "real" Italian food is, as opposed to touristy Italian-American food. Beth was so energetic and knowledgable, I would recommend this tour to anyone who is Italian and likes to cook, or anyone who wishes they were Italian. It makes me want to travel back to Italia again soon! |
