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.

Andy and I had never been to Boston...nor had we been on a food tour...How fabulous to be introduced to both by BOB!! His passion for his city and its food made our food tour one of the highlights of our stay in Boston...I HIGHLY recommend this excursion for a delightful way to see (and taste) Boston...❤

Tim was enthusiastic and funny and overall a great guide. I live in Boston but came on this tour with my family who were visiting. I can attest that he brought us to some of the more local, less-tourist-y shops and restaurants and he even sent us an email afterwards with a list of the local attractions! My only complaint is the 3-hour morning tour was too long; could have been done in 2 hours.

Thank you for your feedback. I know Tim will appreciate your compliments. We really want to give our guests the more local experience and take them to places in the North End that they would otherwise not find on their own. Sometimes our tours run a little long so we will take your suggestion seriously.

The tour had delicious food from places tourists might not come across. We also got to see some history. Our tour guide, Bob, was very engaging and made sure to include everyone - fast and slow walkers - during the walk. I had a great time!
