| I bought tickets for my mother and I for her b-day. After reading all the reviews I was extremely excited for our scheduled date - but, even with all the positive reviews...I was still unsure if this was going to be truely enjoyable and hold my attention. Boy was I wrong!! I haven't stopped talking about the tour since it ended..we had the best day together - I am 26, my mother 55. Michele taught us so much about Italy, italian cuisine, the North End's hidden restaurants, shops, and bakeries, and all the charm the North End has to offer. We truley had the best day together. Michele was even so sweet to have a cake ready for my mother at Maria's Bakery :). I highly recommend this to everyone! |

| Really enjoyed the tour, pace, samples and stories. A really fun way to connect to Boston. We did it at the beginning of our stay in the area and it really helped appreciate all Boston has to offer. I fell in love with North End and returned more than once during the trip.
Only recommendation is that I could not find places on my return. The round about way we toured without connecting us to the map Michelle provided made it hard to remember where things were. Tour guide was pretty good, but I would not rave about him. The activity sold itself and the area is charming. Well put together. Her card at the end was cute. I liked the handouts. |

| The North End Market Tour is a Must Do when Visiting Boston. The knowledge they impart on you is of great benefit to all who love Italian. They wind you through some great little streets and take you to some great places. I would take the tour again!!! Can't wait to come back to go to the shops they brought us to |

| My two friends and I went to Boston for girls weekend. We planned on the tour a year in advance and promised one day we would do it. We LOVED it. We learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone, young or old. Our tour guide, Dick, was knowledgable and personable. He knew everyone and answered all questions without a moments hesitation. I would love to do the Chinatoen tour next. |

| I confess I was skeptical and participated with a group of girls. It was fun and extremely informative. A bit pricey. The "tastes/samples" do not constitute a meal, as indicated in the description. The references/handout might make it all worth it. It is nice to see the North End once again connected to the rest of the city now that the Big Dig is DONE! I"ve already recommended the tour and would do it again. |

| We really enjoyed the Food Tour of the North End as we found it very interesting and informative, We learned a lot about American Italian cuisine which differed from what we knew from travelling to Italy. Our guide Jim was very entertaining and kept you interested from beginning to end - the 3 hours flew by. |

| WOW !!! We had a great time it flew by. My wife and I learned so much about Boston's North End. The food samples were wonderful as were the store owners.
Michele made the North End feel like home. If you are new to Boston or on vacation I highly recomend this tour, so you can get a real feel for the North End and what it has to offer. There is so much ther to discover.
