| We found the tour wonderfully informative. Our guide, Dick, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the different foods and wines. He even gave us some recipes. The samples of foods we had were also very good. We had a great time and have already recommended this tour to other people. Our friends who did not come along are very disappointed they missed this chance. |

| Michele was extremely knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects: Italy, the way Americans eat vs. the way Italians eat, food in general, the neighborhood, the derivation of words, etc. She was lively, provided tons of good information, and was very good natured in answering all the questions that were thrown her way. |

| I normally don't do tours. I always figured I could find places I wanted on my own. This tour changed my mind. It was just great. |

| Very enjoyable introduction to an Italian section of Boston. If you are interested in ethnic food, try this trip. |

| This was a very nice informational tour. It was fun to sample various Italian foods, and the maps were excellent for returning to the stores to shop following the tour. As a good cook, I did not get much new information about Italian cuisine or cooking, but it was a very enjoyable morning, and our tour guide was very informative.
This is an area of Boston that was new to me, and it was a great alternative tour to the early American historic tours found all over Boston. I had visited Italy earlier this year, and felt as if I had gone back there as this tour progressed.
I passed the brochure and business card with pasta noodle on to my daughter who is a college graduate in hospitality and who is currently working for a Pittsburgh caterer, and who is also taking an event planning class. She plans to show them in class--very clever!
Thanks for a fun way to spend time in Boston!

| Our tour of the Italian North End of Boston was fantastico!
Our guide Dick was super informed, very friendly, and also took very good care of us along the way. His knowledge of the area and its history gave us great insights, and the food samples along the way were wonderful as well. All the shops we visited were terrific, and we can't wait to return for some serious shopping before the holidays. |

| The history of the various markets was interesting but there should have been more tastings other then just morsals of stuff here and there. I also didn't like the fact that it appeared everywhere we had the people had a website so we could order stuff on line. It was more of a marketing tour then a market tour of North End.
I also went on the food tour of greenwich village whcih was much much better and we were plied with tons of food from the neighborhood as well as a historical, archetectual tour of the neighborhood. That is what I expected from the North End tour. |
