A Completely Fantastic Experience! North End Market Tour
Wed, Sep 24, 08 2:00 PM	mbfisher	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Individual
Our guide, Jim Becker, is an encyclopedia of food knowledge! He gave a great historical overview of the neighborhood before we started and as we walked. The stops he arranged at an authentic pastry shop, a local green grocer, a salumeria, a wine shop, a spice store, were all fantastic. We had delicious samples all along the way and I learned interesting and very useful facts about Italian ingredients and how to shop for them. Most helpful of all, was the information about olive oil and balsamic vinegar - expensive items that can be intimidating to shop for. After the three fun-packed hours with Jim, I now know what to look for and how to get the best ingredients for the best value. I left the tour with a big smile on my face! I can't wait to go back for the Chinatown tour!

Perfect for the Italian Food Fan North End Market Tour

I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very imformative and nice. Italian food is my favorite and I have been to Italy several times so the information I learned was very valuable. I also was happy to learn quite a bit of history. My husband was little less enthused, that is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. He enjoyed much of the tour and found some things interesting but also felt that there was a little more talking than he would have liked. FYI for men who are just not that into Italian food. The tastings were just that, tiny samples, which we were totally prepared for from reading other reviews. But this was a good thing because later I returned to several of the shops and purchased many items to take home. (Which my husband thoroughly enjoyed.) Maria's pastry shop packed my sweets very well and they made the 3hr flight home intact, in my suitcase. My family ate everything up in 3 days. The produce I purchased was consumed prior to us leaving Boston. I bought some spices and plan on ordering other items from other shops websites. This is very important to me because in the part of the country I live, these items are impossible to find. Besides shopping, after the tour we picked a restaurant for lunch with the help of our tour. Our lunch was fabulous. I hope more cities provide such tours, this is very unique and enjoyable.
This was great! North End Market Tour

As a Boston native, I love the North End, but I never knew its history. I also love to cook, and I loved all of the opportunities to learn about Italian cuisine while on the tour. We had a great time!

This was a great afternoon activity. After spending much time in the North End this tour provided me with knowledge I did not previously have. The stops along the way were entertaining and the guide was knowledgeable and engaging. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to get a little information about the North End.
Great Day North End Market Tour

I was on the tour last year with my daughter and liked it so much that this year we took her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. We had a great time. The man who did the tour is very knowledgeable in the history of the North End. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. It's not just the food you learn about. You also learn about the neighborhood and what makes it so special.

My husband and I had a great time on our tour! The 3 hours flew by. If you love Italian food this is the tour for you. It was such a pleasurable way to spend the morning in Boston. Beth was a wonderful tour guide. We learn so much about Italian culture and their love of food.

A friend raved about the tour & I can see why. Our tour leader was fabulous...I didn't expect to learn so much about the history of the North end and Italian culture. The shops and markets chosen were a good mix and the foods we tried were excellent. I can't stop talking about it! Thanks!
Must do activity in Boston North End Market Tour

We had such a great time. Our tour guide was friendly and very personable. He was very up to date with what is going on in the North End. We had samples everywhere which were fantastic. After the tour we went back to all of the places he brought us to and browsed some more. All in all well worth the money!
Fabulous North End Market Tour

My mom was visiting so I wanted to do something other than the Trolley Tour. This was perfect. Not too fast, no speed walking and we met several local vendors. The guide was so knowledgable it felt like I was walking with a friend meeting all his neighbors. The tastings we had at the different vendors were light but tasty. I can't wait to go back for groceries.

My guide was very knowledgeable about Italian foods and the area. He was able to answer and all questions. He was very patient with the general public that interjected their opinions into his presentation.
