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.

We booked our tour ahead of time. We were pleasantly surprised by how great it was! Our guide’s name was Guido. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We learned so much AND had a blast at the same time. The tour makes Boston make sense and really brings it all full circle. Guido was very friendly and had a great sense of humor while keeping everyone on track. Great food and drinks. The tour was 5 hours long and to be honest I was afraid that was too long but it didn’t seem like it! The time truly flew! My advice: wear good walking shoes and bring water! You will get water on stops but it’s summer now and hot anyways so I wanted to have more. Guido did make sure at the stops that he had pitchers of water on the tables for everyone and we got plenty of bathroom breaks. We are so happy we did the tour! And we recommend it for anyone considering seeing Boston!

Guido was so informative and entertaining in his history/food tour! Tasty food choices! Nice breaks taken during the 5 hour walking tour. Growing up, just south in Connecticut, it was educational and fun to hear his stories! Definitely recommend his tour! Ciao

Guido was an excellent tour guide who has lives here and augments his knowledge of Boston by reading a lot! It’s a long tour so you get your money’s worth. Guido knew when we needed a rest and stopped for treats accordingly. He is fun and taught us a lot of history. This tour is a great way to combine food and history and I highly recommend it!
