I've been to Boston a number of times and didn't think that I would get anything from this tour. I was SO wrong. It was so much fun. Audrey took us into places I would never even have noticed and was a wealth of knowledge about the area, the restaurants, the history and most importantly the food. I don't eat meat and she went out of her way to accommodate me. I was so full at the end of the tour! Can't wait to go back and do the other tour with her!

Our second referral from a Bachelor Party!!! We're thrilled that our fun-loving group of Canadian guests enjoyed their private tour, and have since referred one mother, who, in turn, referred you. We also couldn't be more pleased that we added value to your Boston visit, and helped you to sort through the multiple delicious food finds in the North End and the Market District. It would be our pleasure to host you in the future. We promise to have preferred meatless options available, and to help you to create more delicious food memories that, hopefully, will continue to inspire not only return visits, but also more referrals!!!

I can prove that we enjoy Audrey’s food tours… because this was our second walk with her! She is a very lovely woman who made us laugh, showed us around Boston, and gave us yummy treats to eat along the way. Who can ask for more than that?!

The BEST tour of the north end and Boston Market! Audrey was just amazing!! Since growing up in the North End she truly knows all of these hidden gem restaurants and truly KNOWS the owners, their stories, the marketplaces stand owners & where to get the best of every food you can think of. She had the most interesting stories at every single one of our stops that you would not get on any other tour! All of the food we had (pizza, ice cream, cannolis, clam chowder, fresh mozzarella, plus so much more) was just beyond anything we could have hoped for in our first food tour!! I HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone even considering a food tour! We truly had just the best afternoon with Audrey and wish we could have spent more time with her learning more about all things North End and Boston Market!

"BEST" ... "KNOWS" ... "HIGHLY" ... THANK YOU!!! It means a great deal to me and to our tour partners that you enjoyed the tour as much as you did, and that you so thoughtfully and enthusiastically shared your experience with future guests. I'm thrilled that your first food tour was so memorable, and hope that we've inspired you to seek out food tours wherever your travels may bring you next. (Clarification: I'm a native Bostonian who was raised in an Italian-American family just a stone's throw from the North End. Our paternal grandparents resided there early on, as did extended family, who owned a North End store, of which I have fond childhood memories.)
