Lifetime Locals Enjoyed the North End Tour North End Market Tour
Sat, Nov 29, 08 2:00 PM	pmmaki	Male	50-59	Local	Family Without Children
My wife and I are natives of the Boston area, and despite all of the times we have visited the North End in our lifetime we learned much that we did not know about Boston's beloved little Italy. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to spend time with for the 3 hours wandering through the streets and shops on the tour. A very good mixture of history, humor, and education. Learned much about the food and what the best ingredients to look for and where to find them. The tour was well structured and paced. The sights, scents, and tastes were wonderful. I now know how to select the best eggplant when I am dispatched to the grocery store. We would highly recommend for locals as well as distant travelers. Everyone will enjoy.
My wife and I thought the tour was great! North End Market Tour

I had lived in Boston for several years previously, but I still learned a lot on the tour. Michele is very knowledgeable. My wife and I will recommend to others.
Fantastic experience! North End Market Tour

My husband and I had gone on this tour 2 years ago and enjoyed it tremendously. My parents were coming to visit from out of town and we thought this would be fun to do with them. Not only did they absolutely love it, but we loved it the second time around! Michele's depth of knowledge about the area and the local and original cuisine is remarkable, and she is a fantastic guide and narrator. My entire family enthusiastically recommends this for anyone - locals and tourists alike! You will not be disappointed.
Interesting and enjoyable North End Market Tour

It was a great day, even for our teenage kids! Went into many stores and loved the food samples! We learned alot even though we have an Italian heritage and live nearby. Can't wait to go back and do some more shopping!
Excellent! Boston Chinatown Market Tour

Informative, interesting, well worth the money. The tour guide was well versed in the cultural aspects of Chinatown: history, food, language, he had it all! He provided a brief history lesson, which made us aware of the some of the adversity the Chinese immigrants faced. During the tour, he moved us right along - but paused whenever we had questions or wanted a bit more time somewhere. The sampling of locations was great: bakeries, candy shop, restaurant, pharmacy, grocery.... And lunch was delicious! We did spend a good amount of time outside, so bad weather would have been awful. I highly recommend this tour.
Would do it again! Boston Chinatown Market Tour

Jim just had so much information about the culture, neighborhood, food, recommendations, etc. My husband and I actually went back to many of the stores and purchased various items. He mentioned a possible, advance more in-depth tour in the future - sign us up!

I thought the tour was great. Relatives were here for Thanksgiving and we have all seen the standard sites, multiple times. Learned about a living in the North End, not visiting there. Would definitely go back to some of the stores!
North End Culinary Tour is Terrific! North End Market Tour

Beth is a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. We passed many stores we have walked by for years, but on the tour, we entered these shops and entered a new world. It was exciting and fun. We learned about North End history and a great deal about ingredients and cooking. We had a great deal of fun, will return to shop at these stores and highly recommend this experience. Stan
It was wonderful; better than anticipated, fun North End Market Tour

I was going to write to share how much we (my 2 sisters and I) enjoyed the tour. The tour guide on Sat. Nov. 22nd 10 AM tour, I think her name was Judy was wonderul. She was very knolwledgeable, enthuastic, and articulate. She was a great guide and make it most enjoyable. She involved everyone. She also went out of her way to make my sister, whose birthday it was, feel special by arranging for a cake for her as well as offering the samples we tried to her first. Each stop was interesting and different. The information shared during the walk was also very informative. One really learned alot about the North End as well as how the culture of that area evolved. We truly had a live, mini history lesson. I had planned e mail you to share what a wonderful guide you have in Judy. She surely represents your company well and does an outstanding job. People like her should be recognized for exceeding expectations. You ,as her employer, need to hear this feedback. Janet S. Eagan

Our guide, Jim, was exceptionally knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting. Our kids (ages 14 and 17) had a great time, as did we. We highly recommend this tour.

Jim was FANTASTIC! North End Market Tour
Fri, Nov 21, 08 10:00 AM	liliott	Female	60-69	Combination	Family With Children
My daughter and I, foodies both, decided to take the North End Food Tour, and we both loved it. Our host was Jim, a former chef, and he had marvelous insider info, so we learned a great deal about the food cultures, shops and restaurants of the North End, plus lots of great food info, like how to tell a boy eggplant from a girl eggplant, and why one is a smarter purchase than the other! We only took the tour three days ago, but due to our after-tour shopping, I've already served several meals from ingedients or recipes he recommended. The success of this tour is dependent upon an enthusiaistic and knowledgeable tour guide, and Jim was both! When my daughter comes to visit again, we will take the Chinatown tour for sure.
Loved it North End Market Tour

We had a great time and Beth was terrific. I would definitely recommend it to friends who like to cook and who haven't walked around the North End in a while. It was fun.
Knowledgable guide and fun to do. Boston Chinatown Market Tour
Sat, Nov 15, 08 9:30 AM	plrichardson	Female	40-49	Local	Group of Friends
Our guide knew Chinese history, Chinatown history, the language, and food preparation both historical and current. I am now comfortable enough to take my familly to Chinatown on my own and try some of the bakeries, restaurants and shops including the grocery store. We were able to sample at most stops, given a map of the area and a list of favorite restaruants. Our guide was very organized, personable and gracious. Great fun way to explore a part of Boston with up to 10 friends. And included lunch!
