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.

Hi Mary Ann, Thanks for your great review! As I told everyone on the tour that day, the North End is my favorite neighborhood in Boston. The food, the history, and the culture make this a great place to visit. I am so glad you got to experience it and that I was able to show it to you. Come back and tour with us again the next time you are in Boston.

Our tour guide Tim was outstanding providing a history lesson with great intensity. Always helps when your guide is “into” his work. The North End of Boston is a must see with the Italian Restaurants along Hanover Street a sight to see!

We took this tour with our two boys aged four and seven and our infant with a grain of salt. These guys did such an incredible job and handled our family like pros. We saw so many incredible sites, ate so much incredible food, and really felt like we understood the north end at the end of the store. They try to find things that the kids would like instead of the basic cannolis or cappuccinos and had such a good sense of humor about everything. If you want to experience top-notch food in Boston, with some really awesome people this is your tour!
