	My husband and I enjoyed the historical information as well as the local flavor that we received from our tour guide, Richard. The three hours went quickly as we tasted our way through the North End. Thanks for a very relaxing, delicious morning!

	Great insight into the history & current actvities in the Norht End. Get to know the North End as a native - off the tourist path. Lively reviews and explanations by Michele. Very much enjoyed. One comment: the amount of standing was tough - I was happy to walk but we stood for a long time in a few of the stores ~30 minutes. Probably did not affect the younger crowd. Big crowd during the Feast of St Anthony the day we were there so big crowds in the stores/everywhere. Our tour ran late and we were disappointed that we had to leave to get out of town as we wanted to go back and shop in the places that we'd toured. Maybe you can recommend that people leave some time after the tour to shop

	I moved to Boston 3 years ago. I did the North End Tour for the first time 2 years ago and could not wait to do it again. Being new to the city, I have been on many of the tours with visiting friends and family. This is by far the most engaging and interesting one out there.

	Michele is very knowledgeable about Italian food and culture, as well as the food and culture specific to the North End. Her expertise, anecdotes, tips and familiarity with the shops made the tour exceptional. We learned a lot! The samples at the shops were tasty and provided a great opportunity to try new things. I would definitely recommend this tour to both locals and tourists.
	Wonderful time North End Market Tour

	Michelle was very knowledgeable about not only the neighborhood, but about food, wine and other areas to make the tour not only a lot of fun, but educational, as well. Would defnitely recommend it to anyone. I've been to the North End many times, but this gave us a non-touristy look at what's really there!

	A better time cannot be had North End Market Tour

	The North End Tour was a true treat from beginning to end. My husband and I delighted in the history, culture, little neighborhood facts, and delectable samples. The three hours just flew by and we still wanted more. Our tour guide was articulate, knowledgeable, spontaneous, and able to answer all of the questions our group asked of her with the most interesting anecdotes. You can visit the North End of Boston dozens of times and still never uncover the facts and points of interest this tour will provide. Michelle Topor's tour is fun-filled and fascinating.
	Best tour!! North End Market Tour

	I am a frequent visitor to the North End, however, I knew nothing of the history before going on the tour. I also learned so much about different foods and alcoholic drinks! The time went by so fast, I couldn't believe that it was over. The tour guide, Beth, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this tour.
	Wonderful guide - Beth North End Market Tour

	This tour was most informative, combining history of the North End & its food. The shops visited were lovely & proprietors friendly. The samples were great! Our guide, Beth, was extremely knowledgeable, outgoing & friendly. She made us want to go home & start cooking! For anyone who loves food, this tour is a must.
	I loved it! North End Market Tour
	Fri, Aug 18, 06 3:00 PM	MichelleBarc	Female	30-39	Local	Family Without Children
	I enjoyed the cultural details about the North End. Our guide, Dick, spoke of the different ethnic groups who have inhabited the area, how they lived, and how Italian American food came to be as we know it today. Also of particular interest to me were the functions of certain foods at particular times in the meal (i.e. digestives). We visited shops I never knew existed and had great tastings at every stop. Highly recommended!
	Good retail tour North End Market Tour

	The tour was a lot of fun, with plenty of small samples included. I learned a lot about Italian foods and where to get them. Who knew real balsalmic vinager was sweet, and could cost $100 a bottle?! Or that the North End was flooded with molassas in a weird tragedy? It would have been fun to get to go behind the scenes as well - to see how the marzipan candies are carved, for example, or to hear how the merchants bargain for their more exotic wares. We were limited, however, to the retail space and what the guide had to say. Still, I saw a lot of shops and picked up some cooking tips I wouldn't have found on my own. I returned later and talked to some of the store owners.
	factual and interesting North End Market Tour

	The tour was loaded with interesting information and history, and we thought there was an appropriate amount of samples. We returned to several of the stores to purchase items after the tour. The only suggestions would be to shorten it by a half hour or so and to lower the price a bit. Otherwise it was fun and educational and really gave us a great feel for the neighborhood and Italian cuisine.

	We learned so much about outstanding Italian food and wine, and in a very interesting way by an excellent guide. We would recommend this tour to anyone. Also, the history of the North End was put into the presentation.
