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.

Ellie was a great guide. Very informative and pleasant. Most of the food choices were mediocre at best and served without beverages. The best tasting was the Cannoli and cappuccino . Urban Adventures if you are trying to impress visitors in the Boston area market, I hope you give your guides better options. Again, Ellie was wonderful!

Positives: our tour guide (Liz) was great. She genuinely loved the neighborhood. The food was outstanding and the places we visited are ones I wouldn’t find on my own. Negative: the weather on the day of our tour was HOT but there were no drinks offered. A pitcher of water at our stops could have been a welcome relief. Instead, we had to purchase our own.

Eric was a super guide. The tour actually ran a little longer than advertised but that was ok. The food was delicious. This is a great thing to do in Boston
