  The tour leader was well informed and communicated well. The culinary and historical information was interesting and educational, both for the cook and the non-cook in the family. There was a good variety of establishments visited.

  Michele Topor's North End Italian Market Tour was much more than I expected. She is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide of anything Italian, be it in the North End area or Italy. Her tour information gave me new insights to eating, cooking and good health tips all while walking through the most charming and friendly neighborhood in Boston. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston, especially if you are interested in learning from the best about Italian foods. The stores we visited were very friendly with wonderful goods and after the tour, I went back to 3 of them and purchased items (Maria's Bakery Shop shouldn't be missed!). I also ended the day with dinner at the restaurant, Artu, that she recommended! It was excellent! I highly recommend this North End Market tour when in Boston or consider going with her to Italy, I hope to do that in the future. Regards, Pam from Gainesville Florida

  Having been to Italy myself twice, and my fiance having lived there for a time, we were surprised that we learned so much from Michelle. She was extremely informative and her tidbits were interesting from multiple perspectives. She had great knowledge not only of the North End itself, but also food chemistry and history. Highly Recommended!

  Michelle gives much information on the North End, the Italian culture and the food of the North End. As a couple who enjoys the historical information and particurlarly the information on the cuisine, we cannot overstate our enjoyment of this tour. Michelle is informative and entertaining. We recommend this tour wholeheartedly.

  Fantastic highlight of the best the North End has to offer. Very knowledgable guide was able to tell us about the history and culture of the area in addition to teaching us about Italian cuisine. Take the morning tour so you have ample time to explore the shops and restaurants afterward.

  We were a little nervous about a three hour walking tour, but since we are from the local area, felt that if it was too much walking in the heat, we could just end the tour when and where we wanted. We are familiar with the North End, and have eaten at many restaurants. However, the tour was fabulous, we gained new insights to the North End, learned a LOT about the local foods, wines, oils, deli, and produce. It was a great way to spend an afternoon feeling like a local. It is only a seven minute walk, never very far from the next stop, and very well worth it! The tour guide was informative and fun, and we never felt like there was a dull spot! We noticed that we were the oldest members of the group and the average age was 30...all you baby boomers out there can do this tour! It is not three hours of solid walking! Lots of stops, lots of samples and lots of fun!

  The tour was relaxing, fun,more info then I thought Id use. I wasnt interested in taking notes but I was wrong ! We've already put into use a few of the tips Michele gave us. I wish we could have snuck in a few purchases along the way, although I understand why we couldnt. The North End is another place that when you visit you wish you could stay and the tour, you wish wasnt over. We are back home in California and already reading labels ! Thanks !

  I was visiting in Boston and had heard about this tour. For me, it was fascinating since I really haven't had much exposure to Italian markets, bakeries, neighborhoods, etc. Also I had walked the Freedom Trail previously, but otherwise had not explored the North End and had not gone into any of the shops along the way before this tour. I enjoyed going into the various businesses very much. I thought it was a good variety, and very informative. Unfortunately, I had booked the tour the same day I was flying back to Houston so I did not have time to go back to visit all of the shops after the completion of the tour. It would be nice if you could shop as you went along, but then it would be a 6 hour tour instead of 3 hours. I think anyone would enjoy this tour, but those who don't have a local Italian neighborhood should find it especially interesting. And don't miss out on going to lunch in one of the local restaurants!! We picked Artu, and it was absolutely fabulous! I'll definitely go back there for another meal next time I'm in the area.

  Our tour guide took us to a variety of stores in the North End where we sampled fantastic foods; we learned the history of the area; we got tips on storing and buying foods. We learned what was truly Italian and what was Italian-American. He could answer any question we had. The three hours flew by!

  4 California women We really enjoyed this tour. Michele made it so fun. We learned a lot. We went back to almost every store and bought something. It reminded me a little of San Francisco's North Beach. We are considering the tour of Italy. Fun, fun!

  We really enjoyed our tour of the North End. Dick was a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge of the North End, Italy, and food far exceeded our expectations. My mother is visiting for the summer for California and is already signed up to go in. I can't wait to go into the North End again. Thank you!

  We decided to take my Dad on this tour as a Father's Day gift. It's a perfect gift (your time) for someone who has everything. He hasn't stopped talking about it since! I was extremely happy with the North End Market tour. Having lived in the Boston area all of my life, I took away a lot of fun facts and interesting North End trivia that I never knew before the tour. Michelle is extremely knowledegable and passionate about Italy, Italian culture, Italian-American culture, food and drink. She had me hanging on her every word! After the tour, we went back to the different markets and bought some of the items we sampled. Everything was fantastic!
