Delicious food is never far away in the North End. Your guide will introduce you to a small, hidden Italian bakery serving up fresh bread daily.

A proper Italian salumeria is next, and you’ll have a chance to enjoy Italian meats and cheeses at their finest and freshest. Next up, we’ll take in the energy of the North End’s busiest corridor, Hanover Street, where it’s time for a mid-tour break with your guide at a traditional Italian café. Here, if you like, you can purchase and enjoy your choice of a classic cappuccino, espresso or tea or just take a minute off your feet.

Despite the cold, Tyler led us on an interesting tour of Boston's North End with a depth of historical background. He pointed out tempting spots to eat and took us to sample yummy canoli, hot chocolate and cappuccino and an excellent pizza slice. Definitely do not eat before you go on this tour -- lots to eat, not just a bite but a full serving (we took our Italian sandwich home for later!). We knew enough from the tour to go back and explore the North End on our own. Good tour!

I participated in this tour on a cold day in early January. Our tour guide Chanta was very knowledge and informative. The food was excellent and a good representation of the North End of Boston. This tour is good for adults and children (probably 8+) who like to eat good regional food.

Chantha was a great tour guide! My boyfriend and I had a fun time learning more about the city we call home and trying favorite spots of the locals!

If you’re looking for a tour that requires very little effort from you (the one taking the tour) then book this one and ask for Nabil. Nabil was able to book all of our food tastings in advance, and all we had to do was walk to the location, sit down, and the food was waiting for us. He was extremely knowledgeable, and spoke on topics that were interesting, and not just the stereotypical Boston knowledge that you could just look up on Wiki. The uniqueness, and personality of our tour and tour guide is why I would recommend this tour.

I had an amazing time on the Italian food tour in Boston with Nabil as our guide. The delicious food, rich history, and Nabil's passion made it a standout experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to savor Italian flavors and Boston's culinary heritage.

Bob was great! He was so patient with our 9 year old....she learned a lot. The food was delicious and the history was interesting. A perfect morning for a carbaholic like myself.
