We went on the Cocktails & Cannoli tour a few weeks ago. It was so much fun! Pat was great and had a lot of cool stories and facts about the area and the different places we went to. One of the highlights was going into some of the hidden gems of the North End, including a trip to a bread bakery, which smelled incredible! We both loved the Lemon Drop. It was so refreshing! My boyfriend loved the Almond Joy drink too. While we disagreed on which cannoli was best, they were both amazing! Thank you, Pat, for an awesome experience! Cin-cin!

I went on Pat’s Cocktail and Cannoli tour last week with a friend and my daughter. We had a blast! My friend is from out of town and I used to be a local (many years ago). Pat was fun and had lots of fun facts about the history of the North End and the bakery rivals. This tour is a must for any foodies or cocktail connoisseurs visiting the North End for the first time. Even former locals like me would enjoy this.

Ever since I discovered food tours years ago, I always try to take one while on vacation and this one did not disappoint. The drinks were full size, along with the desserts (because it’s more than cannoli). We walked throughout the streets of the North End with 3 beverage stops and 3 food stops. Each of the stops were excellent and I enjoyed being able to hop around vs picking only one to two stops had I been on my own. One place tucked away in an alley, which I would never have found. But what made the tour excellent was Pat. I reached out ahead a time to ask about an afternoon option, as I could not make the AM tour. He accommodated and added a 4 pm tour for our party of 4, at the end I think there were 9 total on the tour. The morning of, he communicated via text to ensure we are still doing well and confirmed where to meet. While walking between stops, Pat shared the history of the neighborhood and his personal experience living in the North End. He has a great personality and easy to talk to during the tour. I did have reservations for later that night in the North End, but with all the stops I could not even think about dinner. Highly recommend taking Pat’s tour, you won’t be disappointed.
