What To Expect

Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park

Your North End experience begins at the lifeblood of Boston, the Boston Harbor. Walk through a scenic waterfront park, with views of the harbor, East Boston and the historic wharfs lining Atlantic Ave. We’ll make our way to the heart of the North End, with views of some of the most historic sites and properties in the neighborhood, some dating back to the late 1600s and early 1700s.

North End

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. Break bread with your fellow travelers and let the carbs give you the energy to continue your adventure! 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.

Old North Church & Historic Site

As you let the caffeine kick in, your guide goes back in time into North End history. Hear stories about some of the most influential events that happened in Boston, including Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride. We make our way to the Old North Church, where we may get to step inside the hallowed walls.

He knew the smallest and most fun details of the tour. The level of intimacy he created between the bostonian history and me was incredibly valuable.

Tim kept us moving and kept our minds off the bitter cold day with interesting stories and mental images of Boston at different points in history. Food stops were yummy. Tour was engaging and the time flew by. Well worth it! Great way to keep a kid or teenager interested in learning about a city, it’s history, culture and food!

My teen daughter and I had a great tour. There were only four of us which really made for it feeling like a personalised experience. As British visitors John was great in explaining the history that both separated and joined us. We got to see inside a few of the buildings, John clearly knows the locals well. We visited a church where he carefully explained the private boxes and the separation of the different people at a time when slavery was still legal in Boston. The highlight was the State House and the amazing paintings, ironwork and furnishings inside. The weather wasn’t great but that didn’t diminish the enjoyment of the visit, seeing and hearing about all the amazing history and sights of Boston. Thank you John!

Thank you so much for your review! We'll definitely make sure to pass along your compliments to John. We really try to make all of our tours feel like time with a friend instead of a typical, scripted tour, so it's awesome to hear that you felt that! It means so much to us when travelers take the time to write a review, so thanks again and we hope we'll see you on another tour soon!
