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 took this tour with some family and friends, and can't recommend it highly enough! Our guide Conner (Connah) was fantastic, taking us through the historic North End and showing us places we would never have found as tourists. Oh, and feeding us the most amazing food at those places, too! The tour was a perfect blend of history, fun facts, food, and walking, which I think is the best possible way of discovering a new city or neighborhood. Thanks Conner!

We had such a great time in the North End! The food was excellent! We really came for the food but our tour guide Joan really made history humerous and interesting. I don't think of historical figures as real people. Joan made them seem that way with fun stories. Highly recommend her and the tour!

When you visit the North End you need a real Bostonian to bring all of the stories you have heard since you were a child come to life. I'm glad the our guide, Joan, was able to make that happen for you.

Conner was great, the food stops were delicious, informative and fun. I really enjoyed the coffee shop and I went back later for another sandwich at the sandwich shop. After the tour Conner sent a personalized email with more food recommendations. This was a great tour, awesome tour guide, and really fun.

My favorite sandwich in Boston is from that little Italian grocery store you went to. Its great that you went back for more! Conner does a great job and always has a lot of enthusiasm (as do all of our guides). The next time you visit Boston plesae take our History & Highlights tour.
