Terrific Boston Chinatown Market Tour
Thu, Oct 29 9:30 AM	Joanmpierro	Female	60-69	Unspecified	Unspecified
Enjoyed the tour. Jim was so very knowledgeable. The dim sum was great. After the tour my friend and I went back to some of the stores we visited with Jim on our tour. We were not well received. The same people we saw with Jim were not courteous at all and acted liked they didn't know what we were asking for. The Silky Way and the Herb Shop were the two shops. I will never go back to Chinatown for that reason. The tour is a great take for anyone and I would recommend the tour highly. Joan Pierro

It rained hard the afternoon that we did this, but it did not interfere with the tour. We got a lot of information, and are trying to buy some of the things that we heard about near our home in N.H. We have already recommended the tour to other people.
The Best Way to See Boston North End Market Tour

The tour was the best. We saw the North End as you only can if you walk slowly and really look. The guide, Jim, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and interesting. The materials provided were excellent. It was the favorite Boston activity of everyone in our group, 2 men and 2 women.
Fun, Interesting and Well Worth It!! North End Market Tour

Even though the weather was cold, windy and potentially rainy, the trip was well worth it. We learned alot about Italy from our guide Jim, and were able to visit shops that the "tourists" don't know about. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in Italian food/cooking.
Ready for Tour Two North End Market Tour

Our fabulous adorable tour guide, Michele, who has lived in the North End for 30 yrs., knows everything you could possibly want to know about Italy, from the history of Italy and how the North End has become what it is today...along with the history of how each region in Italy differs agriculturely which in turn determins what ingredients are used in each region to create the variety of dishes each region has to offer, as well as the many different types of olive oils, cheeses, vinegars, wines and so much more . This is all explained to you in a very friendly and relaxed way as you visit from one market to the next including tasty samples!! I hope my next tour will be food shopping in the North End markets and delis with Michele with some of her old school recipes! Thanks for the tour Michele! Sincerely, Julie
Great insight to the north end's hidden secrets! North End Market Tour

I bought tickets for my mother and I for her b-day. After reading all the reviews I was extremely excited for our scheduled date - but, even with all the positive reviews...I was still unsure if this was going to be truely enjoyable and hold my attention. Boy was I wrong!! I haven't stopped talking about the tour since it ended..we had the best day together - I am 26, my mother 55. Michele taught us so much about Italy, italian cuisine, the North End's hidden restaurants, shops, and bakeries, and all the charm the North End has to offer. We truley had the best day together. Michele was even so sweet to have a cake ready for my mother at Maria's Bakery :). I highly recommend this to everyone!
A great day's activity to see Boston's Italy North End Market Tour

Really enjoyed the tour, pace, samples and stories. A really fun way to connect to Boston. We did it at the beginning of our stay in the area and it really helped appreciate all Boston has to offer. I fell in love with North End and returned more than once during the trip. Only recommendation is that I could not find places on my return. The round about way we toured without connecting us to the map Michelle provided made it hard to remember where things were. Tour guide was pretty good, but I would not rave about him. The activity sold itself and the area is charming. Well put together. Her card at the end was cute. I liked the handouts.
educational, lots of fun North End Market Tour

A Boston Must Do!!! North End Market Tour
Sat, Oct 24 9:00 AM	samerice	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
The North End Market Tour is a Must Do when Visiting Boston. The knowledge they impart on you is of great benefit to all who love Italian. They wind you through some great little streets and take you to some great places. I would take the tour again!!! Can't wait to come back to go to the shops they brought us to
LOVED IT! North End Market Tour

My two friends and I went to Boston for girls weekend. We planned on the tour a year in advance and promised one day we would do it. We LOVED it. We learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone, young or old. Our tour guide, Dick, was knowledgable and personable. He knew everyone and answered all questions without a moments hesitation. I would love to do the Chinatoen tour next.
Pleasantly surprised North End Market Tour
Fri, Oct 23 3:00 PM	Christir	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
I confess I was skeptical and participated with a group of girls. It was fun and extremely informative. A bit pricey. The "tastes/samples" do not constitute a meal, as indicated in the description. The references/handout might make it all worth it. It is nice to see the North End once again connected to the rest of the city now that the Big Dig is DONE! I"ve already recommended the tour and would do it again.

I learned so much. Our tour guide was very informative and entertaining, mixing useful facts with gossipy tidbits. I highly recommend it for locals and out-of-towners.
Excellent North End Market Tour

We really enjoyed the Food Tour of the North End as we found it very interesting and informative, We learned a lot about American Italian cuisine which differed from what we knew from travelling to Italy. Our guide Jim was very entertaining and kept you interested from beginning to end - the 3 hours flew by.
