| This tour was the absolute highlight of my vacation in Boston! Our tour guide was Jim, who was warm, friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter. I learned so much from Jim, and I took lots of notes. The food tastings were fabulous, and Jim even recommended a wonderful restaurant for lunch that served the best food I've eaten in years. Don't hesitate to take this tour. You will love it!! | ||||||

| This is the second time I've taken this tour, and Michelle's trained guide Jim was no less informative and enjoyable providing a comprehensive--every moment counts--tour. I live in upstate NY, and wanted my older sister from Florida to see how this tour gave us a new understanding of not only the meals we were served as children by our immigrant parents, and an appreciation of their loving preparation, but also new insights into our heritage, and the life-long significance of wonderful meals together. The tastings on the tour offer an additional verification of our memories, this time, sumptuously! | ||||||

| We absolutely loved our experience. Having eaten on the North End for years, we were amazed and enchanted by the back alleyways we'd never before noticed. Our guide was terrific, and the tastings were wonderful. It was extremely well organized--each shop was ready for us, tastings prepared, and they were warm and welcoming. Loved learning the history of the area--and have a greater appreciation for the many cultural changes there. We enjoyed it so much (it was a gift from our son), that we gave it to our kids when they visited from CA. Our son-in-law is a chef and couldn't stop talking about it. Highly recommend it. | ||||||

| I really liked the tour and our tour guide was brilliant in his knowledge of cuisine and flavors. My only complaints--a lot of standing in one place (I prefer walking or short periods of standing) and I expected to be able to taste more foods. The tastes we received were interesting, flavorful, and enlightening to the content of the tour--but I wanted more food!! Overall, definitely worth the trip downtown. And nice to walk around an area I don't spend much time in. | ||||||

Excellent and interesting tour

| A very interesting look at the culinary and demographic history of the North End of Boston, from a different angle than the usual one. It was very much enjoyed by all the ages levels in our group. | ||||||

| This tour was highly recommended to me by two friends that had taken it a few months ago. When I mentioned it to my friends..I wasn't surprised to get an overwhelming response ! Six of us decided to attend, and enjoyed it immensely! Our tour guide Beth was a joy! She was a wealth of information! Coming form an Italian family, and having traveled to Italy several times, I thought I was pretty knowledgable about Italian food & culture...but after spending the afternoon in the North End with Beth..I really came away from that experience with so much more appreciation and knowledge of my Italian heritage! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!! Warm Regards, Marie Terrizzi | ||||||

| We really enjoyed our North End Tour. Our daughter had gone on the tour in the fall and highly recommended it. If you enjoy Italian cooking and eating, then I would say it is a must. You are on your feet almost all of the 3 hours so bring water, eat beforehand, and wear comfortable shoes. Enjoy! | ||||||

| My husband and I took the north end food tour over 4th of July. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the neighborhood! We had a wonderful time on the tour and would recommend it to everyone. | ||||||

| Our culinary tour of Chinatown was equally educational, interesting and fun. Our guide, Jim, has a wealth of knowledge about Asian cuisine and culture, having studied and lived abroad for many years. Besides learning about the history of Chinese immigration in Boston and the development and evolution of Boston's Chinatown, the tour provided tons of information about local dining and shopping favorites -- as well as more "off the beaten path" establishments that Westerners (local Bostonians or tourists) might not venture into on their own. To top it off, we were able to sample various Chinese foods and finish the morning with a delicious dim sum lunch. The tour would be a fun activity for visitors to Boston or locals who want to learn more about Chinese cuisine, cooking and culture. | ||||||

It's like entering China with a personal guide.

| Jim's knowledge of the area, cuisine and language immersed us in Asian culture for a day. His delivery was perfect and unintimidating. Although I used this tour as a surprise for my sister visiting from out-of-town, I am more likely to shop in Chinatown now that Jim has shown me the unique items and bargains that are readily available. The Dim Sum lunch alone was worth the price for the entire tour. My sister left feeling enlightened and entertained. I'm sure she will spread the word to the rest of my relatives. We will definitely be doing this again with our visitors. Even for locals, it's a great way to spend a Saturday morning and get to know a mysterious part of the city. | ||||||

| We had a wonderful morning meeting the local merchants and enjoying the aromas and tastes of Italy!! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she brought out the real people of the North End! My sister and brother-in-law had a good taste of Boston and will remember their visit for all the right reasons! Would recommend this tour for any person that enjoys history, food and good company! | ||||||

| Jim our knowlegdeable tour guide and Chef on Hiatus walked us through our culinary tour of the North End. We sampled baked goods, cheese and Italian cold cuts of meat. I tasted a proscuito to die for! We finished the tour in a wine shop that served us some Lemicello. This tasting tour in the North End was an entertaining and a fun time. I highly recommend this tour. I can't wait to take the Chinatown tour July 26. | ||||||

| Three hours FULL of information by Jim, a chef. How incredible; knowledge and expertise! Thank you for coordinating all this with the vendors. My North End world exploded with new enthusiasm. They were supportive and I can't wait to return for shopping there. The Wine store people looked scared. We were warned. Do they want us as customers? I have several people who would want to go there as they are Italian wine collectors. Yet, I hesitate. Maybe we need a larger dose of Limencello to move to a different wine store! | ||||||

This tour exceeded my expectations!

| Jim is a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable, a great speaker. I thought I knew a few things about Italian food, but having Jim, a trained chef, as our guide made this tour such a fun learning experience. I will be using the information he shared with us for a long time to come because I enjoy cooking and shopping for specialty foods. I would recommend this tour without a bit of hesitation. I have encouraged all of my family in the Boston area to make the time to take this tour. | ||||||
