It was a great afternoon! Patrick takes you to some of the most iconic places and as a local gives you some of the history. The cannoli taste test is unique and fun. Worth it!

What a Funtastic experience with Patrick! Was gifted the tour and took a friend with me - Makes an Awesome Gift for anyone! Patrick is awesome and knows the North End inside and out. He makes the tour fun and interesting with his knowledge of the North End, Boston, desserts and alcohol. He is also very good at being attentive to all parties and having easy social conversations - he's very personable and comfortable to be around. The food and drinks were all delicious and portioned just right so you don't feel too full or lightheaded. It's perfectly planned out. I would recommend this tour to anyone age 21-100 yo who lives in Boston, MA or out of state! What a great way to visit and learn about the North End while getting to sample desserts and drinks. If you don't do it for yourself, which you should, gift it to someone - you won't regret it! Thank you Patrick for a wonderful tour and time!!!

We had a blast cocktail and cannoli-ing with Pat. The drinks and desserts were delicious, and Pat was so informative! Highly recommend (and this is from a New Yorker)!

Pat's tour was absolutely amazing!! My family and I booked it for my dad's birthday and were so excited to try it out! He braved the pouring rain with us which we are so thankful for because my dad was so excited for espresso martinis. The food and drink choices were amazing and we ate/drank way more than I had expected for the price. I already have a private tour booked again with him and have been telling everyone about the tour! It's going to be my new go-to for get togethers and birthdays!!

Because we had such an amazing time last spring, we decided to do it again and bring some friends along. Once again, Pat made the experience a fantastic one! He started with a personal touch by sending a message the day of the tour. He then brought each of us a water as it was hot out and we would be walking around the north end of the city. Our first stop was at a famous pastry shop. From there we continued with Pat giving us historical information as we ventured to other amazing spots in the area. From sfogliatella (a delicious Italian pastry), a variety of martinis, Gelato and other delicious treats along the way, Pat made the afternoon entertaining and fun for all. We will be back again!

This was such a fabulous tour last year, that we just had to do it again! Pat is very knowledgeable about the history of many of the buildings in the North End. The cocktails and desserts along our stops are so delicious…it’s hard to pick a favorite. Pat goes all out to make sure you you like everything and is quick to accommodate anyone. Don’t hesitate to book….you’ll love it!!! The cocktails, desserts, history and fun makes it the best North End Tour.

We had the best time with Pat! An amazing value - the cost was more than worth the drinks and food we got to have. Not to mention Pat’s knowledge of the North End, the cute places we got to experience, and his stories along the way. If you want to try the best cannoli in town skip the lines and let Pat be your guide - no waiting involved! Cannot say enough good things. Cin-cin!

Pat was outstanding. I arranged a private tour for a families group for a conference. Pat was available for meetings beforehand to tailor this to my group and the feedback from the tour once it took place was fantastic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and Pat even checked in at the end, to make sure one of my teenage participants was back properly. Great communicator and having now seen the other reviews too, I think you would find it difficult to go anywhere else. Highly recommend!
