| We loved the tour and truly appreciated all the recommendations of our guide. He
made our experience memorable. The air was filled with "scent"sational aromas.
We returned the next day and could navigate the streets with ease. |

| My husband and I enjoyed the N.E. Tour of Boston. We both have been to Boston many times and this was the first "tour" we have taken. We would definitely recommend it to our "foodie" friends and family. I would have enjoyed a few more "samples" of food. I know it wasn't a "food tasting" tour but it's nice to sample foods of "other" places. I ended up purchasing some of the items that I did sample and bought home to CT. It was a perfect day as well and we enjoyed the history of the North End as well as the history of Italian food/cooking etc! |

| My husband and I had a very enjoyable and informative time during our Cooking Tour to the North End. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging. We returned to several shops following the tour to purchase items that had been highlighted. We live locally so intend to also make use of the restaurant guide that was given along with other information at the beginning of the tour. I feel like we know our way around the North End much better than we did before. We would recommend this tour to others. |

| We enjoyed a wonderful tour of Boston's North End. The tour guide's information on the history of this small neighbohood was informative and the gastronomic information was new to many of us. To have these shops in our own area is excellent. Many of the women in the group plan a shopping spree in the area at a later date. |

| The 8 of us thought Beth did a tremendous job, talking for 3 hours and giving us a history of the North End and information on the local foods. |

| Michele Topor was delightful in her enthusiasm of her neighborhood, its history and its cuisine. She was constantly providing us tips and suggetions with advise on cooking and purchasing essentials for the kitchen. When we bumped into Mayor Mennino at Maria's bakery, that was an unexpected surprise. Our group was composed of friends and relatives and we had a ball! Tasting everything and anything, we left with a feeling of excitement in coming back to visit the shops and restaurants we've yet to try.

| We were delighted with our tour! Our tour guide, Beth, was exceptionally experienced in the Italian culture along with culinary insight. The markets we visited provided a real world authentic view of life in Italy. Beth and the owner's of the host markets provided an especially memorable experience for my husband who was celebrating his 50th birthday and Italian heritage. Many thanks!
