Addicted to the Food/Travel Channel? North End Market Tour
Wed, Jul 15 10:00 AM	LindaLucas	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
Then this tour should definitely be on your to-do list when you visit Boston. My husband (who may have initally preferred a visit to Fenway more), thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was like stepping into an episode of the Travel Channel. Our guide/host was extremely knowledgeable about both the North End and Italy. We learned so much (thank goodness for the hand-outs, no way we could keep everything we learned in those 3 hours in our heads!). We both highly recommend this tour. To reference other reviews, no, you're not going to be full after this tour. It's not about food for your stomach, rather food for your mind and soul. We're looking forward to a return trip to try the Chinatown tour next (and maybe Fenway too, I guess I owe him :)
We enjoyed the tour North End Market Tour

We learned about the Italian culture and learned about many different types of foods. The three hours went by so fast.
If only I could be in the North End every day North End Market Tour

Not once during the 3 hour tour did I think it was dragging on too long. As a matter of fact, I wish the tour would have continued to wind up and down the streets, in and out of shops, and through the hidden gems of the North End. Visiting Little Italy's best groceries and shops and sampling some of Italy's finest in Boston was more than I expected and also quite delicious. The tour completely exceeded my expectations and I am basically forcing my whole family to go after my delightful experience. I am sure that I will be a more frequent visitor of the North End from now on, and of course, I recommend the tour wholeheartedly.
The perfect afternoon in Boston! North End Market Tour

These two tickets were given to us as a gift for Christmas. Perfect gift idea! We drove down from Manchester, NH and had a wonderful time. Michele was our guide and we loved her. The tour goes on rain or shine. We booked according to the weather forecast and we enjoyed this tour completely.
Fun and informative North End Market Tour
Fri, Jul 10 3:00 PM	Forsyth	Female	50-59	Local	Family With Children
This tour was a lot of fun. The tour guide, Michelle, was perfect as a tour operator. She was friendly, knowledgable and had an interesting presentation. All of the shops were well chosen and everyone in them was as friendly as could be. The samples were good and a good mix. I actually learned a lot and my daughter, who is just starting to be a good cook, thought it very helpful as well. I would recommend this tour to anyone, whether you were into cooking or not.
Too good to miss!! North End Market Tour

My husband, college age daughter and I think Michele Topor's North End Market Tour is the best vacation "extra" we've ever done. Well worth doing again and recommending to friends! Michele's knowledge of Italian food, the history of the North End and her entertaining personality added to a great Boston getaway.

Great and personable guide! Just enough info and not rambling. Obviously knows his topic well. Newly living in the North End, we'll be able to use all the valuable information again and thoroughly enjoyed all the "visits".
Fun time in the Italian neighborhood North End Market Tour
Fri, Jul 10 10:00 AM	tlsachse	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
We really enjoyed listening to the history of Little Italy. This tour does not provide large samples rather it gives you numerous samples of the foods of Italy. Our tour guide provided input from Italy and how the Italians settled in Boston and made a way of life in the US. We highly recommend this tour.
FABULOUS North End Market Tour

The group had a wonderful time. We are talking about doing it again next year. A few of the women have recommended it to their friends. This is my second time and I would certainly do it again. The tour guide was wonderful, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with. All in all, GREAT
Fabulous! Entertaining and VERY informative! North End Market Tour

What an exhilerating experience! Jim, our guide, has wonderful in depth knowledge about the North End and Italian histories, the true Italian cuisine and wines, and numerous insider tips on shopping, and where and why. I learned more in 3 hours than in any other class I've taken. My friend who also attended the tour has lived in Boston her whole life and cooked Italian and she raved about this tour!
Loved, loved, loved it! North End Market Tour

Just the right amount of historical facts. Our guide, Jim (I think is his name) who was a chef added an element to the food side of things. The tour was much more than anticipated. The parking suggestions were the best. Everyone in my group was thrilled with the tour and our guide as well. The handouts provided were helpful for shopping later and were very informative. You're doing a good job. Thanks. Unless I missed it, It would be helpful to specify where the fire station and library were so we didn't need to ask around. We had passed the fire station one block over on the way to Cross St. and then needed to walk all the way back quickly to go potty before the tour. Had we know the location we could have gone on the way up to Cross. Also, we wanted to give Jim a tip but there was nothing in the paperwork about tipping so we were at a loss as to what to do. You should speak to that in the downloaded paperwork so there would be no question. We are sending Jim a tip in the mail. Cynthia Dumser
Tour went beyond my expectations North End Market Tour

Michelle appeared to be as enthusiastic about what she does today as when she started out with her business 13 years ago. She was so informative about the history of the North End as well as a culinary wizzard. She presented her culinary skills with charm and made the material unintimidating. We live about an hour away and will make the North End a destination now that we have the lay of the land. We have reccomended the tour to all our friends!!!!
Great Fun North End Market Tour

I had never been to the North End, I knew nothing about Italian cooking and and I am not a cook and I still had a great time. It's a different perspective on a neighbourhood than you would usually get as a tourist. It makes me very curious about Italy and other Italian areas closer to home.
Loved it! North End Market Tour

I was excited about the tour, but it far exceeded my expectations. The information, history, Michele's enthusiasm and the vendors at each of the tour stops were just amazing. I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly to anyone that is visiting Little Italy.
