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.

Our guide was nice and engaging. My biggest disappointment was the food on the tour which began at 1:00. It started with a cannoli which was great but not how we usually start a meal. The food was supposed to be a north end food tour- the rest of the food was a slice of a sandwich, a slice of a below average pizza (the guide asked us to rate it and with the exception of a 9 year old who gave it a 100 most people rated it at 6 or below), and a piece of bread. We were on a food tour of the north end! Really think that at $75/pp the quality of the food should be “upped” and for this reason I would not recommend this tour.

Janet was awesome! She showed us authentic Italian places in the North End and I really loved all of the food we tried! The Freedom Trail was brought to life as we visited important landmarks in our American History. Thank you Janet! See you next time!
