| This was a great trip the guide provided the goup with a lot of interesting informaiton.
It will certainly make future visits to the North End excting.
We actuallly went back and visited many of the stops along the way to make purchases before we headed home.
Can't wait to do the China Town Tour. |

| Dick did a great job explaining the products, history and best ways to use products. The shops were interesting and everyone was friendly and accomodating. We went back to two and purchased products to have shipped to Dallas. We have limited access to the quality of Italian products available in the North End.
The rain was unfortunate, but did not keep us from enjoying the tour. |

| We were a group of co- workers ( from food service industry)
even though it was a very rainy day, we still had a good time..I thought the tour lenght was just right, the amount of info just right..not too overwhelming......I didnt care for the bakery...and I did think the sampling was very stingy..that is one are that really needed improvement..for the $ you should get more...I have recommendd already to friends and may even go back and do the tour again with my Husband or some other friends..I am curious if the tour is different with different guides...Overall though again it was a great really fun day...Thank you........ |

| This was an informative and fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Our tour guide, Dave, led us through different shops where we sampled products .Dave gave us a historic background not only of the North End, but of the different areas in Italy,and he provided many useful cooking tips .
I would absolutely go again. It is fun to get a group of friends to do the tour and then enjoy a meal at one of the many fabulous restaurants! |

| We haved lived in the Boston area for 25 years and never went on the tour and finally scheduled one for us and out out-of-state friends. The weather was awful (rained heavily) but that did not deter us one bit. Beth was a fantastic guide with loads of information and passion for the subjects. Highly recommend Beth and the tour. We will be looking at scheduling others with Michelle's group. Many thanks. |

| Have been on this tour 3 times. I'm local but visitors love it so much, I take them on it if they have any interest at all in cooking or the North End. Have had a different tour leader each time. Each one has been great. The shopowners are really welcoming to a large group. The samples are great. I tell visitors they may know more about the North End by the end than many locals do. The history blended with the culinary aspect make it very interesting. |

| It has been two years since I visited magical Italy, and have not been able to eat a frozen ravioli since. I bought some during the tour at Monica's, sausage at D&R Meat. Delish!
Beth was fun, informative and easy to get along with. It's easy to see she lives to talk about her favorite subject - Italy. It's another world down there. I will vist Maria's for her ricotta pie before the Holidays.
Learned a lot about the North End and the traditions of its people.

| Our tour guide had a love for the area; knew the people and their businesses very well; gave many tips on the ingredients for Italian cuisine. Presentation was well thought out and thorough. We stayed in the North End and enjoyed lunch at one of the restaurants. The only thing I would change is to have the food tips given to us on a fact sheet. |

| It rained extremely hard on Sat morning but it went unnoticed because of the very enjoyable tour and extremely pleasant and informative tour guide! I have recommended this tour to many of my friends so that they can learn and eat through the tour. Thanks! |

| My husband and I have been to the North End many times and have seen the tour walking around. Our tour guide and people in the group were great. We now have an appreciation for some of "hidden treasures" of the area that we've walked by and never experienced. Looking forward to booking the tour in Chinatown next! |
