Pat was a great host as he toured us through North End. Took us to bars we wanted to visit, bakeries (bypassed long lines), and told us history about this area. He told us of bakeries and bars we never would have discovered . The small group was just perfect for this tour.

Highly recommend this unique tour of Little Italy/ the North End. It’s essentially a 3 for 1, as you get dessert, booze and history. Alcohol has great historical significance in Boston, and it was cool that it was incorporated into the tour. Alcohol history > boring history. Patrick was fantastic and knowledgeable. Great personality and will give great recommendations for the area. We had walked through the area at least 5 times prior to the tour, and would have never found some of the hidden spots he recommended. Dessert and booze portions are plentiful. No dinky one bite samples! Well worth the price. The tour was approximately 2.5 hours and was a small, personal tour (ours only had 6 people which was amazing). I don’t want to give away what you’ll eat and drink and where you’ll stop, but I can garentee you will not be disappointed. If you have any allergies or simply dislike any of the food or alcohol you receive, you will be accommodated accordingly. Please support Patrick and book this ASAP! It will be one of the highlights of your trip!!

I'm local to Boston, and I really enjoyed this tour of the North End! It was a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We visited unique locations and got to experience VIP status; we were served at a bar that opened it doors (and open air windows) for us, and we did a taste-test of some deliciously famous cannoli, and didn't even have to wait in line! Throughout the tour, Pat wove interesting and funny historical details into his dialogue, including fascinating bits about colonial Boston. I saw new things and learned so much, while meandering through the North End at the perfect pace. And best of all, we ate and drank a well-coordinated palate of finely crafted beverages and desserts. Now I know some really cool places to visit in the North End. I highly recommend the Cocktails and Cannoli North End tour. You will not be disappointed!
