	Fantastic! North End Market Tour

	My wife and I took the tour as the first activity of our weekend trip. We were in town celebrating our first anniversary, and she scheduled the tour as a surprise for me (I'm a former restaurant chef/current home cook for my wife). We had such an amazing time! Our guide was knowledgable and fun, and the food was fantastic. This was a great way for people to: 1. Learn about the culture of the North End and how it has developed over time. 2. Learn about how that culture has shaped the food that is made and sold in the area. 3. Learn your way around a very interesting part of the city! In the following days we found ourselves wandering through the neighborhood shops and talking with the owners about their products and spending way too much money! Thanks for a great experience!

	From the beginning to the end the North End Market tour was absolutely fantastic! The combination of history, culinary advice, and Michele's unique perspective on the area and the people was thrilling. The time flew by and the information was fantastic. The information was presented in an interesting format and was followed up with samples and experiences. This is definitely one tour not to miss!

	My wife and I live only 20 minutes from Boston all our lives, but never experienced the North End. We were staying In Boston for the weekend and decided to take a tour of the North End. I checked online and decided on Michele Topor's tour. We were glad we did. The tour guide was excellent, very informative and knowledgeable about the North End. The 3 hours flew by, even though it was the hottest day of the year. Every stop , we were able to sample, foods, drinks, pastries,etc.to get the full effect of the tradition of Italy in the North End. We would highly recommend this tour. We will now make the North End a regular stop for entertainment and shopping.
	This was a great tour - we loved it! North End Market Tour

	My 17 year old daughter and I went on the tour together and both enjoyed it equally. I highly recomend this tour for anyone interested in any of the following : the history of Boston, Italian food, health conscious people who want to understand how to eat well as well as healthy. MIchelle has amazing knowledge. The tour takes the full three hours and could really be four - we could have used more time and would have signed up for a longer one if available. It was a little rushed to fit it all in and none of it was to be missed. Be sure to plan time for shopping after the tour as you will definitely want to do that. My recomendation is to plan on shopping and lunch or dinner in the neighborhood after the tour depending on when you go. Also - please be on time as it impacts the others on the tour to have to wait for those that are late - time is short as it is. Be considerate.
