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.

I was on a girls trip to Boston and we always take a food tour where ever we go. We all enjoyed the tour and all the food stops were great. Cafe Vittoria was my favorite. The cannoli were fabulous and the hot chocolate was the best this side of Paris. Eric was a great guide,filling us in on the North End history as well as some very interesting stories. Would highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed this tour! It's the first time we ever combined a food and history tour, and it was hit with our teens as well. Tim was an excellent guide, clearly enthusiastic about the history as well as the cuisine. Our tour time was about 2.5 hours, which was the perfect length for us. The food and coffees were awesome! Our 17-year-old discovered affogato and banana peppers on subs! I really appreciated the time we got to spend in the Old North Church. This experience was a highlight of our New England trip. Big props to Tim and this tour company!

This part of Boston is so unique and special. Not only great food - but a bounty of American history. We all like to pick out our favorite spots and Conner knows the area well. We will pass on your compliments to him. Cheers!
