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.

Our tour was a great experience. Despite living in Boston for several months I didn't know all the gems I was missing in the North End. Our guide, Bridget, was engaged, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and ate more than enough! I'll definitely be returning later to the places we discovered, and already recommended this to my friends and family for the next time they visit.

Thank you so much for your review! We'll definitely make sure to pass along your compliments to Bridget - you're right, she's a really great guide! 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 on your food tour! 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!

5 of us on vacation in Maine....last day before our flight out of Boston! Bob was knowledgeable, funny and kept everyone moving right through the North End. The food was unbelievable! Bob took us places we would have never heard about without him! I highly encourage anyone visiting the city to partake in this adventure, especially if you love authentic food you can never find on your own.... You will leave pleasantly full with fod memories of Boston and of Bob!!!!!!
