I booked this tour on a whim as a surprise for my husband. We had a terrific time. Pat is delightful, very knowledgeable about the area and knows good cocktails. Especially liked the Ginger Mule we had with homemade ‘shrubs’ at Parla.

Great way to enjoy a visit to the North End! The cocktails were creative and desserts delicious. Venues were expertly chosen and even though I grew up here I still learned a lot and went to places I did not know. The website described what to expect well, which allowed us to schedule the rest of our day accordingly. Our guide was engaging and also had us hear from other experts at the old north church, etc. which I appreciated. My favorite part was choosing between the 2 most famous cannoli shops. I had tried both before, but never at the same time, so it was fabulous to do a comparison! Super fun overall :)

Pat was the best host you can imagine for a walking tour. The dessert / drink stops were spaced well and had the perfect combinations! You get to see landmarks like Old North Church, and also learn about the history of the area in a way that leaves you feeling like a local. There were tons of interesting fun facts as well as water and great food and drinks (it was such a bonus to skip the lines for everything!) It was also great that all the shop owners were super friendly with our guide and quick to serve us. The best part of the tour was that you get to try one cannoli of each of the two best shops in the North End. Instead of waiting for 30 minutes at one of the two, you get to do a blind test to compare and see the different styles that each shop has. Choose your favorite. It was an amazing way to spend the afternoon and super fun! Highly recommend!
