Seen the tour on the go city app and it sounded ideal for our first day. Way better than expected with Tony who was really passionate and informative about this area. Visited food venues that we would never of stopped in and had great information about the history of the establishments and the food was beautiful in every stop. A good mixture of history and great food. A brilliant start to our trip. Thank you Tony

Cady was an exceptional guide. She paid attention to the needs of the group(dietary restrictions, walking distance etc) and provided detailed information about the neighborhood in an entertaining way. Highly enjoyed Umbertos pizza and modern pastry. Could do without mikes pastry though.

Cady had great knowledge of the area and led us to some great food. She did a good job of adjusting based on the lines to ensure we stayed engaged.

Our guide, Cady, was very personable and informative and led the group well in a busy neighborhood. She had an excellent grasp of the history of the development of the North End and the historical site. Cady was very patient with the group's questions and offered plenty of recommendations for places not on the tour. While the bakeries were excellent, I would have liked to see more variety on the tour for tasting options like different pastas with different sauces.

We took both the historic pub tour and the north end tour with Cady. She was friendly, fun and really informative. We learnt lots of interesting facts, sampled great quality food and beer at low prices. I would definitely recommend these tours to anyone visiting Boston. Thank you Cady

Echoing previous posters, Tony was an excellent guide. We enjoyed despite the cold, rainy late-March weather. He was also happy to repeat one of his stories at the end of the tour so I could take a video of it.

Our tour guide was Tony and he was fantastic! Very informative and he knew a lot about the city, the buildings, the history. We visited hidden shops, bakeries, delis, and restaurants that were buried deep in North End, like they were little jewels awaiting to be discovered. Definitely recommend this tour if you're looking for authentic Italian food while in Boston.
