My daughter in law and myself had the most amazing tour yesterday. Our tour guide knew all local food owners and workers in both locations. She prides herself in knowing all the details on every location as well as some inside tidbits as well. It was a pleasure spending the afternoon with such a knowledgable, friendly, outgoing foodie! We look forward to booking more food tours around Boston with the company.

Our experience was phenomenal, Audrey was fun, funny, and a wealth of information of the North End. Can’t wait to return to Boston to take this tour again with my family and take more of her tours.

From the moment we walked up Audrey made us feel right at home. I have taken many food tours and this by far was one of the best. We had a small intimate group of 11, which was the perfect size! Audrey’s relationships in the community and wonderful sense of humor made it one of the best parts of our trip to Boston. Make sure you ask her how to roast strawberries!

My husband and I did the Boston Foodie Tour with Audrey on a recent weekend trip. We had such a great time learning history of the North End, learning about the different restaurants, bakeries and stores plus getting to try so many tasty treats. We had the incredible opportunity to try a ton of food items. The different food items were spread out as we leisurely walked around the North End. Audrey has invested a lot time building relationships with the North End community and it really shows. She also cares about your experience and wants to make sure you had a wonderful time. Cant recommend her tour enough! It was a highlight of the weekend!

Audrey was a wonderful guide. Not only was the food delicious but her knowledge of the area was outstanding. Since she limits the amount of tours she does we were never rushed or hurried along. Audrey has so many friends in town she seems to enjoy the tour as much as the guests.

We were lucky enough to get a “private” tour with Audrey. She was so good and the food was excellent!

We have been on a lot of food tours in multiple countries. This was the best. Audrey was excellent and we had her undivided attention, so we were lucky. North End's Hanover Street is the foodie capital of Boston. Hanover Street is very entrepreneurial—no chains. Extra bonus chats with owners and family members that were not on the tour (sometimes the timing works), especially getting a look/see at Frank DePasquale's newest, Umbria. DePasquale is the premier restauranteur in Boston with 12 distinct eateries.. We had dined at a DePasquale institution, Bricco, the previous night. Excellent. Five tastings in all, and all tasty. Everybody knows Audrey. Bravo.

Audrey was very kind and knowledgeable. We toured the North End and Boston Public Market. Loved the market and fun to visit with some of the local vendors. We did enjoy some delicious pizza and arancini. Audrey pointed out some of the best restaurants and we marked them for future visits. However, we wanted to sample more foods, like pasta and seafood.
