Michele Topor, Inc.

the guide was very knowledgeable on every subject. He was outstanding--in fact I remarked that he should be on television. I give him credit for his enthusium in spite of doing the same thing day in and day out. Highly recommend tour.

First food tour ever and really enjoyed! It was interesting and educational. The tastings were delightful. We were taken to a bakery that was way better than another popular one in the area. Thankfully we were introduced to this gem of a place. Our guide was fantastic!

We were a group of 5 local friends. James,our tour guide was absolutely fantastic, informative and was generally interested in making our day what we hoped for and even more!! The day was filled with good history of our native North End of which we didn't know, and the sample of foods were the best!!! The shopping tips were also great... After our tour, we settled in for a good cup of coffee, and rewalked our steps for shopping all the delights to take home. A real must for everyone, and a great Christmas present!! Can't wait to take our Chinatown tour soon!! Many thanks for a great day!!

wonderful tour! Our tour guide Jim was EXCELLENT and so informative! We went to one of the restaurants in the North End that was recommended in a hand out by the tour group and it was by far the worst meal we have ever had in the North End. We eat in the North End often, as we are local to the area, and have never had a bad meal, however Monica's Trattoria I would take off your list. I had a shrimp dish over pasta and it had 3 shrimp in it. My husband had dish with capellini and the pasta was all stuck together like a big ball of paste. you have unique tours and we are looking forward to trying another one.

My best friend and I had a wonderful time. We saw much that was "authentic" Italian. We learned a lot of history about the North End, sampled some delicious food, and will definitely will go back and shop in the stores we went into. We also learned some interesting facts and information about which parts of italy produces specific products. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tour. It would make a great gift !

My niece and I enjoyed this tour very much. We did learn a lot. We look forward to going back to the North End with all that we learned.

Our tour guide Beth was excellent. Her knowledge of the area and Italian cuisine made the tour very worthwhile and enjoyable. Our tastings included yummy cookies, cheeses, meats and refreshing lemon ice. It was great to meet the shop owners and employees who are part of such a rich heritage. We also received some great tips for a dinner location. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a real Boston experience.

This was more fun/interesting than imagined. Very informative, cant wait to go back to Chinatown now that we know where to shop at all the different stores. We all had a wonderful time and out guide was great

There were six in our group--brothers and wives who were visiting us from Michigan. The tour was the conversation for the weekend...all words of praise and rave reviews! The shop visits and tastings were great. Loved the history and all the food and cooking ideas. Michele is gifted! Thank you.

Our group (three couples) thoroughly enjoyed this North End Market Tour. Michele is passionate about Italian food and it shows! The tour included a large variety of stops in different shops, which was a veritable feast for the senses. You can experience Italy, its culture and its food, just by booking this tour.

I went on the Michele Topor North End of Boston Cooking Tour. I went alone and joined a group of 12 at the meet up spot. Our tour guide, formerly a chef, greeted us and led us to the North end, after explaining some of the history of the area. We stole into small family owned shops, and sampled many tidbits of cheeses, meats, as well as Italian ice. Food samples are small, but that is explained before hand this is a tasting tour not a restaurant meal.We also learned about wines and sampled some . I would gladly take another one of her tours .This is a great way to immerse yourself in the tastes and smells of Italy.

I took the tour on Friday and found it very informative and fun. I live in Mass and thought I knew about the area, but was surprised to learn more about of the North End and where the residents shop. Our tour guide Jim was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

The tour guide was very informed and gave everyone a well rounded experience of Chinatown from the people, to culture, to food. I'd do it again a heartbeat!

learned a lot about the neighborhood history, culture, and their food. very knowledgeable guide and interesting stops.
