Something Different North End Market Tour
Sat, Nov 7 1:00 PM	mswitzer	Female	50-59	Local	Group of Friends
Instead of celebrating a birthday at a restaurant, we invited family members to join in a new and different experience, learning about Italian foods available in the North End of Boston. The tour guide was extremely knowledgible and he made this event a memorable one.
Great time!! North End Market Tour

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was very informative and was the highlight of our weekend at the North End.
A Perfect Tour--Even for Locals! North End Market Tour

We have lived near Boston for nearly 40 years and have worked in the city, off and on, for many of those years. Unfortunately, the North End has always been a bit of a mystery to us. Our "adventures" have been largely restricted to Hanover Street with the occasional venture to small restaurants on side streets. As food and travel lovers, this tour (with our best friend of many years ago, now living in CA but also a fan of the North End) was a perfect way to start a long weekend reunion. Jim was our guide and we couldn't have been in better hands. He was a terrific teacher and we learned so much. We enjoyed all of our stops and the tastings along the way. After the tour, we had lunch, created a shopping list and purchased ingredients for a delicious dinner, which we prepared together that evening. We concluded our long weekend with dinner at one of the restaurants listed on the brochure and toasted our friendship and good fortune for having participated in this tour. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Thank you for the comprehensive tour North End Market Tour

I learned so much about the North End, which is good because the other Boston tour I registered for did not even mention the region.

What a fantastic afternoon we spent in the North End! We learned so much and sampled some great food and drink. The tour exceeded our expectations and we would recommend it highly! We will be back to shop in the many generous stores that we visited. It felt like we spent the afternoon in Italy! Thank you for your kind hospitality.

I had been looking for something fun to do in the city, and a friend told me about this tour. It was a great time!! We had a great guide named Jim, who told us the inside story at several hole-in-the-wall places, ranging from bakery, produce shop, dry goods store, deli, pasta shop and wine store. We learned where the authentic goods are sold, and where to avoid the touristy shops. All with great insight from Jim using his chef knowledge and skills. There a few great tastings along the way as well!! This tour was a lot of fun and a homerun if you're with friends, on a date, or simply out for a day of fun on your own.
Something different North End Market Tour

Being from the Boston area, I was looking for a different tour to take visiting family members. I came across "Market Tour of the North End". I found the cost prohibitive for four people, but decided at a later date to take my husband as a birthday gift. We had a very enjoyable time. The rest of the group was friendly. The tour guide, Beth,was full of interesting information about Italian cooking. Some things we knew, some we learned. We followed up by dinner in the North End. All in all, no complaints and have recommended this tour to friends.
Great way to learn area North End Market Tour

A tour not just for tourists--in fact almost all of our group of 10 or so were from within an hours drive of Boston. The tour provided a great overview of the neighborhood, took you into 7 or so of the best of the best for bakeries, delis, wine shops, and such--plus lots of valuable handouts on good neighborhood restaurants, speciality shops, and more. Well worth the time and money.
Very informative and fun North End Market Tour

The tour was very informative and the guide was excellent. Will do the tour of Chinatown next time we're in the city.

Learned some of the history of Boston's North End. Visited many specialty shops and learned about what makes US Italian and imported Italian foods different. Got to taste samples of everything from cheeses to meats to pastry and more. Maps and handouts provided were most helpful. Went back to some of the markets, remembered (enough) of what I learned on the tour, and bought some delicious food to take home. Highly recommend this tour!
Don't Miss This Tour! Boston Chinatown Market Tour
Thu, Oct 29 9:30 AM	kelliemarco	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Couple on a Date
Our tour guide, Jim, was extremely knowledgeable and amiable. It was an insider's tour to a foreign culture given in a very relaxed way. The tour stops included a wide variety of diversions covering culinary experiences from sweet to salty and from indulgences to medicinal remedies. By far the most informative and entertaining tour I've experienced.
Good Boston Chinatown Market Tour
Thu, Oct 29 9:30 AM	kramer42	Female	40-49	Local	Individual
Althought the tour itself and the guide were truly excellent, I found Chinatown to be unwelcoming. While we were on tour with Jim and receiving a thorough history and "tasting" of Chinatown which were delightful and well researched... off tour my friend and I received very unwelcoming response from shopkeepers. We ventured back to the locations we had just been well received in with Jim to realize we were not quite welcome on our own. My response from the locals is not at all a reflection on the tour or the tour company. I would give the tour a grade letter of "A" but the location would be graded a "C".
