I loved the tour. It included just the right mix of history, fun facts and stories, and food and wine tastings. The vibe of the North End and our tour guide's personality provided a lovely and informative experience, pleasing to all my senses. I'm passing on the good word to everyone I know!

My sisters and I recently participated in the North End Market Tour. It was one of best things we did on our trip to Boston! Everyone should take advantage of this activity. It is a great way to experience the "local" culture of this neighborhood. Our food guide--Jim--was exceptional and very knowledgeable about Italian food/cooking and the culture as he led us through the North End and it's market places.

Had an excellent time. I learned sooo much and although the tour was 3 hours at the end we all wished it would continue. I would definately do this again.

The North End tour was fantastic. It was great to get a different perspective of the North End, where previously we only went to eat at a restaurant. We now understand and appreciate the evolution of the Italians in Boston, and how they have maintained their heritage in cooking. The guide was very good, and the shops we visited were very accomadating. I would recomment this to anyone interested in Italian cooking or eating!

Well worth the time and money

We found the tour very informative, and well worth the time and cost. I was raised in a large Italian family, and I was surprised at how much new information I got from this tour. I thought I knew a lot about Italian food and cooking before the tour-now I know a lot more.

I booked the Chinatown Market tour after finding this tour while looking for Dim Sum restaurants in Boston. We were very happy with the tour, as we learned a lot about the background of Boston's Chinatown and got to see a variety of shops, and taste samples at each stop. We especially enjoyed the Chinese grocery store tour. The overall tour was well organized and the tour guide very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We were given tips on what some of the better restaurants are in Chinatown, in a printed handout. We intend to return to Chinatown more often now that we have had our introduction. The Dim Sum lunch at the end of the tour was very fun and we had a variety of Dim Sum type of foods. Dim Sum is a Chinese buffet that they bring to you, with servers bringing food continously in rolling carts. The lunch and all food samples in the shops along the way, are included in the tour price. Have fun.

TERRIFIC NORTH END OF BOSTON TOUR
Fri, Sep 18, 09   3:00 PM annbersani Male 70+ Local Other
WE WERE THERE WITH FOUR OF OUR FAMILY AND TEN OTHER PEOPLE, SOME FROM OUT OF STATE. OUR TOUR DIRECTOR WAS GREAT. HAD A VERY GOOD COMMAND OF THE TOUR SUBJEST, THE AREA, THE HISTORY OF THE ITALIAN FOOD BY TERRITORY. FIVE SHOPS WE VISITED WERE EXCELLENT CHOICES OF VARIOUS CULINARY INTEREST. THE ONLY DRAWBACK WOULD BE THE LENGTH OF TIME WE HAD TO STAND AS THE TOUR LASTED THREE HOURS, A LONG TIME FOR PEOPLE CLOSS TO EIGHTY TO STAND.THIS CERTAINLY DID NOT DISTRACT FROM THE WONDERFUL TOUR.

I enjoyed the tour but... I was disappointed it was not michele. The tour lleader was adequate but talked too much and made us sit and listen rather than get going. I was a bit bored. I missed Michele and her enthusiasm

This was my 3rd time taking the tour. The last time I took it was on a January morning several years ago. My boyfriend and I had been in to the NE for dinner with this other couple several times and I suggested the tour. I made the reservations months ago so we all had it to look forward too as an early Fall event. Our guide (Jim) was very enthusiastic and knowledgable and having a little rain was not an issue. My fears that the friends would not be interested were put to rest within the first few minutes when they kept saying, "I never knew this, I had no idea, etc., etc" and had some questions. We all learned a great deal -- all of us worked in produce at some point in our lives but never knew of the male and female eggplants! I have e-mailed the link for the tours to a few co-workers, an Insurance agent friend, and to my chiropractor in just this week because I had shared with each what a nice take it is. We'll be booking the China town tour soon!

Off the Touristy Path

Four of us attended a Saturday tour - we had a great time even though it was raining a little (on and off) - Jim was our guide and he couldn't have told us more information - he was constantly talking and giving us a history lessson of the area and reviews or recommendations for products. I would recommend this tour to anyone!!!

A wonderful adventure

This was a wonderful tour, dispute the pouring rain. I think we found it so interesting that the rain was a mute point. We had the same tour guide Jim, on our North End tour that we took last year. Jim just fills you with information in such a great way...no boring history lessons from him!! The food, the information, the people, just made it a very welcoming and fun experience!
