| My husband and I started our Boston vacation with the 3 hour culinary tour on one of the hottest days in Boston but it was so worth it. We learned so much about the history of the North End and the differences between Italian and Italian-American cooking. Jim was an absolute wonder at all his information . We loved it so much that we'd like to go back and stay for a month in the North End! I must admit I was glad that I took the tour at the beginning of my vacation because my feet were worn out by the end . This is the perfect tour for all ages who like food, history, and walking. |

| Did my first North End tour last year when I came to Boston with friends. Was so impressed that I had to do the tour again with my husband when we visited Boston together this year. Once again the tour guide was very helpful giving us information, stories and showing us the real North End. We had a wonderful morning ending with lunch at one of the restaurants that had been recommended as we had walked around. |

| Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was informative, knowledgeable, and had an easy conversational style. He seemed to genuinely enjoy people and the North End. He made us all feel comfortable. We were able to laugh and we felt free to say whatever was on our mind. He did not seem to be the traditional guide that would give you "just the facts." I highly recommend the tour, but with our tour guide. Not sure they are all as good as he was.
Thank you for this wonderful experience. |

| We had been looking forward to this tour since the beginning of the year as it had been highly recommended to us. We were not disappointed in the least! Our tour guide, Jim, was very informative, enthusiastic and had a quick wit. After the tour we went back to several of the shops and made purchases. I gave my husband a bird's eye tour when I got home and can't wait to bring him on a tour. We will definitely re-visit the stops made on the tour as all of the shop owners were very welcoming and friendly. The lobster tails at Maria's were the best I had ever had!!!!! |

| I bought the tour for my husband who likes to cook. It was totally up his ally. He got all sorts of his questions answered from "What's the best canned tomatoes to buy?" to "Why shouldn't you use oil to cook pasta." I'm not as much of a cook myself, but enjoyed the tour as well. There was so much about Italian history and North End history that I didn't know. |

| Our tour guide brought to life the finer points of traditional Italian ingredients and cuisine as well as where to go to purchase them. We visit family in Boston every year and will definitely be returning to these shops . |

| What can we say? The North End Market Tour is every bit as wonderful as described. Not only was it informative, but it gave us the defininte insiders edge to knowing and appreciating Boston's "Little Italy". We would highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to "get a taste" of the charming and talented culture that settled in the North End of Boston. With praise and sincere Thanks, Mary Stasney and Meghann Malecha from Minnesota |
