Not Worth the High Cost of the Ticket

My husband and I thought it was interesting, but didn't learn alot and thought the ticket price was very high for the value of the tour. We did feel we were lucky that there were only 6 of us as we saw later tours that were 12 to 14 persons and that is way too many for the crowded streets and small shops. |

My tour was a Christmas gift from my daughter. We both went on the tour. Even though she lived in the North End, many places on the tour she had never visited. The tour was perfect gift. We had a great day together. |

Tour guide ( Dick) was very knowlegable and enjoyable to be with. I would recommend adding 1 or 2 stops and shortening 1 or 2 visits. Perhaps a restraurant or something with a little different twist than the markets. I have recommended it to others. Thanks. |

My mom and I went on the North End Food Tour a food days ago and had a wonderful time. The guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and knew so many interesting things about the North End, its history and Italy as well. Highly recommended! It was a fabulous tour, we really enjoyed it. |

The gentleman who ran our tour was so very nice and gave us some wonderful history of the area. I just think that some of the stops could have been a little shorter. All in all I would recommend this to friends. |

What a great day! Learned about the history of the North End and how Italian American came to be. Not only experienced the stores and their goods but also gained insight to who owned the store and it's history. Well paced and Michele was fresh and passionate about sharing and teaching. Most enjoyable! |

We toured with Michelle Topor, and found her to be extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The samples were wonderful, and we got a lot of great ideas on how to use the ingredients that we learned about. We can't wait to try the Chinatown tour. |

Took my daughter for her birthday and we both had a wonderful time. Learned much about the North End and found it very interesting. The tastings were great and the shopkeepers delightful Our guide Beth was terrific. We went back to many of the shops after the tour and a yummy lunch in a suggeted restaurant. |

The North End Market Tour with the Michele Topor group was GREAT! The tour guide was very informative both with the history of the North End and with the different types of Italian cuisine (Northern Italy, Southern Italy, Tuscany, etc.). During the tour we were able to sample items which certainly gave us incentive to go back and do some shopping. This way we were able to bring home some of the North End with us so we could share the experience with our families. Now that we've been exposed to the area, we'll be back to enjoy it again and again. Thanks for the wonderful experience! |
