This was a great find. I just googled "events in Boston" for this past weekend because a friend was coming into town and this popped up. I thought the cost was very reasonable and I have done food tours in other cities and enjoyed them. Pat and Sara were fabulous tour guides and kept us entertained with all the fun facts about the North End history.

Often people wonder when they see the price of a tour if it’s really worth it! Well, I am here to tell you, this tour definitely is!! It includes 3 signature cocktails (such as the famous north end ‘expresso martini’ made differently than in other parts of the world), 3 local desserts, and a tour of some of the north end’s most hidden gems. Can you say Speak easy? This tour also provides some fun Boston folklore which may surprise you; it’s not in the history books! Last but not least, you will get great recommendations for eating and drinking which you can use for future visits to the area. The two hours goes by extremely quickly on this tour; you will be begging for more! ** It was an extremely hot day and we even got water; you can't beat that!**

We had a private tour with Pat for a Bachelorette Party and it was fantastic! He was on time and started off by making sure everyone had water (much needed on the hot day in the North End)! The places you visit throughout the tour were so unique and places that people would definitely pass by if they did not know they were there. We had someone from Boston that was shocked to discover things she walked by all the time while visiting the North End. The tour was spaced out well between food and drink stops and local sites. Pat also did a great job of telling history stories that were not boring (a very hard skill to master in my opinion)! He also added in content based off of our groups questions and was willing to give recommendations of where to go in the area. Now it is time to talk about the food and drink. The desserts we tried were SO GOOD! And the drinks complemented the food perfectly and one even involved a fun element that we were not expecting, but loved. The group's favorite part was a cannoli taste off in the area. I could not recommend highly enough if you are looking for a fun experience in the North End, whether for a date night, Bachelorette Party, or visit into Boston!
