North End Market Tour

The tour guide was well informed about the history of the area. The merchants we visited were very cordial. Food samplings were meager compared to the NYC food tours.

We had a lovely time in the North End of Boston. My husband and I along with our two adult daughters enjoyed the tour. We have been to the North End many times; however, it was great to see the many different places. So often we have walked past these wonderful establishments. Can't wait to go back.

Loved navigating the "less traveled" streets of the North End, while hearing about the history of the region and the culinary delights of Italy. Loved every bit of it. Our guide was so informative and a pleasure to have as our guide, while discovering so many new and wonderful markets in the North End.

The Leader was great! Lot's of cooking knowledge and history of Italian Immigration to Boston.

A lot of fun. Our tour guide was very informative. We really enjoyed learning about the history of the North End and visiting small merchants. No restroom break is a bit of a problem for a 3 hour tour, especially when it is hot and you are drinking a lot of water, but did find a restroom in the local library right after the tour.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The guide was a good communicator, knowledgeable, and had a pleasant sense of humor. Unlike another food tour I took in a different city, this one was 90% about food, not history or architecture. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to cook and loves to eat.

The tour was extremely informative and we loved our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly. He was also easy to get along with and went out of his way to meet the needs of everyone on the tour while keeping pace.

Of all the activities I did while vacationing in Boston, this was my favorite (MFA was a close second). I love finding out about different foods. I wish there had been more about the wines of the region. Another suggestion would be another tour going more in depth. The tour guide we had gave just enough information in the time alloted.

Jim Beckman, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. Our entire group had a lovely time and felt it was worth our time and money. We have been recommending the tour to others every since.

My husband and 2 friends, took your tour about 10 years ago and have always wanted to do it again. Was motivated when my cousin came to MA from CA ... we had a super time. I will definitely go again and it will sooner than 10 years this time!
