Our tour was a great experience. Despite living in Boston for several months I didn't know all the gems I was missing in the North End. Our guide, Bridget, was engaged, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and ate more than enough! I'll definitely be returning later to the places we discovered, and already recommended this to my friends and family for the next time they visit.
