Helped all of us identify which markets to go to for shopping and learned a lot of the history of the North End. Would have preferred that Michelle herself was leading it though Matt was great. Should let people know, however, that it's not Michelle since we'd expected that.
Less could be more North End Market Tour
Fri, Nov 25, 05 2:00 PM	daphnepetri	Female	50-59	Combination	Family With Children
I would pay the same price to have the tour be a little shorter and give time and energy to go back to make purchases. It was so great but perhaps a half hour too long. It might be too hard to let people shop right then but then we needed more time to shop after and enjoy the nighborhood. If I were doing it again I would go early in the day, have lunch and then shop. I too worried aobut the no cancellation policy...seems a little rigid. The tour guide, whenever possible, should be listed. We were lucky to get MIchele and she is GREAT! Love seeing the North End from the local perspective.
great family activity North End Market Tour

We went as a fmaily but the kids were 19-24 so interested in food wine travel and fun! It was good and having michelle as our guide was the best as she is well known and respected, it seems, by all. We could have lived without the produce stop where we couldn't fit inside so we FROZE outside while she went back and forth bringing out produce to show us. its a little long on descriptions and maybe too long all together...fewer or quicker stops would be better but we loved it. FYI we were two males one 55 and one 22, 5 females 55, 50, 23, 22, 19.
Fabulous! North End Market Tour

Our family enjoyed this tour very much! I had been on the tour a few years ago with my sister and thought it was great, so we took my mother-in-law and sister in-law this time around. The tour is very informative from the cooking perspective as well as the North End/Italian cultural perspective. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and friendly, and did a fantastic tour. We live in the North End and have been shopping at many of the tour stops since I first took the tour. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves cooking and baking!
great tour BUT..... North End Market Tour

The tour was great!! the leader was awesome...all the places visited were super!! HOWEVER the no refund/postponement policy is awful. My husband got very very sick at the last minute - i would have cancelled and reserved for another date and not asked for a refund BUT you make no allowance for that so down the drain went that $50.00 ticket!! i went alone on the tour so as not to waste $100. i think this is unfair and would not recommend the tour on that basis.
Best Boston Tour North End Market Tour

I took my sister who was visiting from out of town on the tour. We couldn't stop talking about all the stops we visited. I thought the tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I will definitely take the rest of my family on the Little Italy Tour when they come up to visit. I would highly recommend the North End Market Tour to anyone locally or visiting Boston.
Good tour, especially for history buffs North End Market Tour
Fri, Nov 11, 05 3:00 PM	aeharley	Female	30-39	Local	Family Without Children
I enjoyed this tour. I thought it was especially useful to local residents because of the shop/restaurant info and advice. However, it would be interesting to anyone who enjoys history and learning about the local flavor of their vacation destination. The samples are just that and really added to the trip but should not be considered snacks- bring something if you think you might get hungry (especially because you are mostly talking about food!)
Not enough time to shop North End Market Tour
Fri, Nov 11, 05 3:00 PM	carebear7281	Female	20-29	Local	Group of Friends
The tour was interesting but some parts could have been left out. It was hard to go to places then immediately have to leave and not have time to look. I understand you want to keep the tour moving, but there should be allowed time into the tour to go back and shop. Our tour was at 3 so most of the stores were closed by the time the tour ended. Plus it was cold out and it was hard to stand outside and learn about different foods. The tour should be shortened, with fewer stops and more time to go to the different stores to make purchases.
Fun For Foodies North End Market Tour
Fri, Nov 11, 05 10:00 AM	jjamison	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
We loved this tour!! We are 3 Food lovers from Ohio and this tour met all our expectations. We learned a lot and would definitely recommend this to others. One suggestion would be to have a two hour tour. Several of the areas could be shortened. Three hours was taxing for some in our group. Thanks and this will be a definite thumbs up!
Informative and Entertaining Tour! North End Market Tour

Our group enjoyed the tour immensely. We would certainly recommend this to others, especially those who are interested in the North End of Boston.
Very informative North End Market Tour
Sat, Nov 5, 05 10:00 AM	smakulab	Female	20-29	Local	Couple on a Date
A very informative tour. I learned about great places to buy groceries and good restaurants to go to! I highly recommend this tour if you're looking to learn a little more about the North End and good restaurants to eat at, other than the better known ones.
Great day in the North End North End Market Tour

I went on the North End tour with two friends this November. It was a great day. We learned so much and enjoyed the wonderful food and information. Paul, our guide, was very nice and informative. We tried one of the restaurants, Artu, and had a great lunch! (The eggplant was divine) After lunch we retraced the tour and bought lots of food,etc. We are all from Massachusetts and visit the North End often. I look forward to trying every restaurant on the list. thanks for a great day.

Sure beats wandering around the Italian section wondering what's up! Great little tastings, wonderful tour guide. Fair weather helped too!
Facinating insight into North End food and culture North End Market Tour
Fri, Nov 4, 05 10:00 AM	kmedmunds	Female	40-49	International Tourist(s)	Individual
I was pleased that Michele herself led the tour I went on - she's a very good 'teacher' and I learnt more things about Italian food in 3 hours that I learnt on my 3 holidays in Italy! Michele was happy to answer questions and accept our observations. The North End is a fabulous place to eat out, shop for food goodies and to get a great cup of coffee. After the tour I had lunch at 'Artu' (one of her recommendations) and had a wonderful Melazane Parmigiano (aubergine/egg plant with tomato sauce and cheese). Go on this tour - it's worth every penny.
