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.

Such a fun morning playing tourist in our home city. Bridget did a wonderful job as our guide, taking us to hidden gems and historic spots. Very knowledgeable, relaxed and funny. And of course the food! Wonderful food. Definitely recommend!

Hi Mary Beth, thank for that great review! Our goal at Urban Adventures is to take guests to places that they would not be able to find on their own. The North End is loaded with many restaurants and bakeries, but our guides, especially Bridget, seek out the hidden gems. And she loves to share her enthusiasm for the food and history.

Conner Bourgoin did a fabulous job on this tour of the North End of Boston. He was truly excited by what he was doing and we loved his enthusiasm!! He must be a phenomenal teacher in the classroom as well!! The food was delish and you will walk away completely full from the experience!!
