This is one of the best tours, outside of Italy itself, that I have ever been on. Michelle is just perfect and oh so knowledgable. I guess being from an Italian-American home and having already been to Italy, the tour just hit the right cord. I can remember my Dad would take me to the nut shop after dinner, and somtimes we would stop by a bakery in Little Italy, NYC, for a slice of pizza. Michelle was able to bring all these memories back for me and gave me new meaning to the old traditions of my family. Thank you Michelle and I hope to see you soon.
Warmest Regards,

We returned several times to the North End during our stay in Boston. Your tour was a definite highlight. |

If touring without a guide, I would have not relized the little jewels that are found in each store, bakery, and restaurant. I needed someone to point out the treasures galore that are available to me in the north end. |

Who knew eggplant has a gender?! Michele was facinating from start to finish, we have already reccommed the tour to many others. We could not believe the amount of information we received, just couldn't retain it all. Michele had a way of presenting the information and the neighborhood in a manner to keep you interested and feeling like a part of the area.
Thank you, Michele! We had a great time.

This tour gave an interesting account of how the North End developed as a community of immigrants bound by their culture and love of good food. I enjoyed learning about the types of foods brought here from Italy, and how dishes were adapted to the American palate. The tastings were great. The group size was 12 and not too large. I took this tour as an individual, and enjoyed visiting with the other group members who made it a fun experience. Beth was an enthusiastic tour guide who gave a great deal of information and answered all questions. I recommend the tour for anyone who wants to learn about Italian food, good ingredients and history as an added bonus! |

Great details on the history of the North End and some interesting stops along the way. Food samples were great. Tour was a little pricy compared to other similar tours in "Litty Italy" areas in other parts of the country. |

Wonderfully fun and informative |

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent North End Market tour, led by Beth. It was a great way to visit shops, some of which we otherwise might not have frequented. Her local history, knowledge, recipes and tidbits of information were very interesting. She kept the tour moving, while really engaging everyone. We have since, and will in the future, visit some of the shops on the tour. We anticipate giving tour gift certificates as presents for the holidays! Great job! |
