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.

Wow, I chose this tour based on the amazing reviews. We were very sadly disappointed. From the beginning, our tour guide wasn't on his A-game. The only stops that were organized were the first 2 - an Italian bakery and coffee shop. After our coffee, we literally walked around for the tour guide to find an Italian grocery store to get a slice of a sandwich. After several phone calls, we went to a pizza place for a slice of pizza. Our tour ended with the guide leaving us at a park to "try to find a dessert", which he came back empty handed (that's after he boasted about ending the tour with a famous cannoli). Very odd. The description of the tour said it was a 2 hour tour. At 2 1/2 hours, we were waiting in the park for dessert. Had it been an amazing tour, with amazing food, that wouldn't have bothered us. Being that so may other people rated this tour as "Excellent", I wish I could recommend it. But based on our experience, not so much. Our family of 4 was visiting Boston for Father's Day and thought this would be a fun way to spend the afternoon. We always try to do a food tour when we visit a city as a way to learn more about the city. This one didn't make the cut. We didn't leave full. Learned a little history. And found our way to Modern Pastry for a cannoli (which didn't disappoint!)

Our tour guide, Bob, was phenomenal! It was a really fun tour with a perfect blend of Boston history and delicious and authentic Italian food to accompany the culture of the neighborhood. We went back to Caffe Vittoria for the cappuccino. It was outstanding!
