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.

The tour, led by Eric, was an amazing experience. It was great to be taken through such a historic neighborhood by someone knew so much about the history and myths. Eric has fantastic stories even for locals who are familiar with the area. The food portion of the tour was delicious. Everything we tried was authentic and delicious. Furthermore, you definitely get your money’s worth. The length of the tour is ideal and we saw so much. Eric did a great job of making sure the walking tour was not touristy and the group blended in with the neighborhood.

Thanks for your review. Our guides always like to show Boston in the best possible way and bring our guests to places they might not find on their own - especially in the North End. We always try to go above and beyond what's expected. Hope to see you on another Urban Adventures tour. Cheers!

Bob was the best! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area and knew so many great stories. He took us to sample foods from several locations and they were all excellent.

I took this tour in mid-December with a group of friends (all in early 20’s). We all had a great time! It was a nice way to explore the historical parts of the North Dnd while also enjoying some incredible food. Our guide was Bridget and she was very informative and friendly.
