Very informative but a Little too long North End Market Tour

The gentleman who ran our tour was so very nice and gave us some wonderful history of the area. I just think that some of the stops could have been a little shorter. All in all I would recommend this to friends.
Very Interesting. Loved the grocery store. North End Market Tour

We found the tour to be very interesting. We went with my 25 -ear-old daughter and her new boyfriend and they also enjoyed it very much. They live in Boston and are planning on going back and checking out the stores/restaurants which were recommended. A few more samples would have been nice, but we truly enjoyed what we got. Just a few fine points: Have a stop in the middle to sit down. We were hot and would have enjoyed the break. It was a lot of standing. We did the great lemon slushes near the end and were very hot by then. The directions said that we met near the Paul Revere house. Cross and Salem are not near there at all. A few store names that were located near there would have been helpful. Loved the handouts and will use them in the future. We found Michelle to be very knowledgeable and she quickly answered any questions. We realize that these were her opinions and thought very highly of them. I would not hesitate to book another trip with this site on my return visit. Well done.
Everyone should do this... Boston Chinatown Market Tour

Our tour guide, Jim, was fantastic! His general knowledge of the the culture as well as Boston's Chinatown was impressive. Althought the tour was to be 3.5 hours, we were still at Dim Sum after 4.5 hours having a blast. This is impressive considering that we all just met that morning. We foudn the diversity of the tour and the locations appealing and the ease and welcoming attitude fo the store owners refreshing. The latter left such an impact on us that we went back to two fo the stores to make purchses. We have also recommended this tour to all our local freinds, which is significnat, and we are also looking to do a larger group for the Norht End excursion. THe only downside to the tour and it had little to do with Jim, but one of the stores he recommended us to go to for a Dim SUm guide was not that hospitable. They actually had a bit of an attitude and suggested that the tour guide not continue ot recommed sending people there, becaus ethey have not carried the Dim SUm book for awhile. We will get the book from Amazon, but the store employees, should rercognize the business that Jim is affording them adn try to adjust the behavior. Overall: This wasa great date surprise! Thank you Jim!

My husband and I spent a long weekend in Boston over Memorial Day 2009, and this tour was one of the hits of our trip. Our guide, Jim, was charming, eloquent, funny, and most importantly, both knowledgeable and exceptionally well prepared. He interacted well with the 4 quite disparate couples in our group, and with each of the shopkeepers we visited. Without the tour, we would probably have avoided this part of Boston altogether, but armed with the knowledge Jim gave us we enjoyed some wonderful meals there. Highly recommended!

Fun outing with friends North End Market Tour
Wed, May 20 2:00 PM	fergyk	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
With perfect weather & an exceptional guide of the North End, our day was really fun. Michele Topor gave a enthusiastic & informative tour full of tips & samples of regional food at several markets. Having traveled extensively to Italy & now living in the heart of the North End, Michele was right at home in the neighborhood & was able to answer all our questions. Each of us was given several pages of information regarding favorite markets, specialties & directions to each. Also the same for restaurants. At the end of the tour which is contained in just a few blocks, we were able to backtrack to purchase items of interest that were presented during the tour. We ended the day, sitting in an open air restaurant sipping wine & discussing what a great day we had. We are now planning a trip in the fall for a tour of Chinatown. I hope this was helpful to you.

What a great day! Learned about the history of the North End and how Italian American came to be. Not only experienced the stores and their goods but also gained insight to who owned the store and it's history. Well paced and Michele was fresh and passionate about sharing and teaching. Most enjoyable!

We toured with Michelle Topor, and found her to be extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The samples were wonderful, and we got a lot of great ideas on how to use the ingredients that we learned about. We can't wait to try the Chinatown tour.

It was a very fun and factual 3 hours around the North End. Our guide really "knew her stuff" and gave us lots of interesting info. We sampled at each stop and most of us made our way back to the bakery for treats to take home.
A Local Journey in Chinatown Boston Chinatown Market Tour

Our party was coming from all direcrtions, but we had no trouble parking and finding the group. Jim was a terrrific tour guide; friendly, knowledgeable, and good at keeping the group together and on track. The food we sampled was excellent and dim sum was delicious. We were impressed with Jim's Chinese language skills! Lastly, the take-away information is a nice keepsake. I've already recommended the tour to several people.
Excellent Boston Chinatown Market Tour

This was my second Chinatown Tour with Jim, our friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. I enjoyed myself so much the first time that I decided to take the tour again and bring my sixteen year old nephew. My nephew really enjoyed learning the history of Chinatown as well as the sampling of food along the tour route. I would highly recommend this tour for teens and adults of all ages.
Great Experience! North End Market Tour

The North End Market Tour with the Michele Topor group was GREAT! The tour guide was very informative both with the history of the North End and with the different types of Italian cuisine (Northern Italy, Southern Italy, Tuscany, etc.). During the tour we were able to sample items which certainly gave us incentive to go back and do some shopping. This way we were able to bring home some of the North End with us so we could share the experience with our families. Now that we’ve been exposed to the area, we’ll be back to enjoy it again and again. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
