My brother and I took this tour as a gift for my 23rd birthday, and it was definitely a worthy way to celebrate! Our guide, Pat, told us about how he had tried 58 (or 59?) of the 120 restaurants in the North End, and he hand-picked some of his favorites for this tour. As a tourist who didn't have all the time necessary to explore such a rich area, it was great to be able to hit all the highlights recommended by a local! Pat was also very kind, friendly, and knowledgable, which made the tour all the more enjoyable. Perhaps it was because we were the only ones on the tour that day, but my brother and I were treated to a ton of treats and left the tour STUFFED. The desserts and drinks were very generously portioned for samples, and so yummy that I couldn't help but eat them all. I definitely felt I got my money's worth! If you have a sweet tooth and the itch to explore one of Boston's oldest neighborhoods, this tour is definitely for you!

What a fun outing! My fiancé and I did this walking tour of the North End, and had such a great time. We left full of sweet treats, delicious drinks and fun facts about the area’s history. I’m new to Boston and haven’t explored the North End much, so this tour was a perfect way to discover neighborhood highlights. My favorite part was probably the blind taste test of two rival cannoli… Who knew that there was so much nuance to cannoli?! Definitely recommend the tour, and plan to bring family on it when they visit next!

Nothing is better than getting to eat cannolis, drink some amazing cocktails and learn about Boston's amazing history. Cocktails & Cannoli was such a great tour, I would recommend it for anyone! Pat, the tour guide, knows so much about Boston and the North End and took us to so many hidden gems my roommates and I had never seen but walked past so many times! The cocktails were very tasty and you even get to guess the ingredients in one of them which added some extra fun! Not only do you get to experience true Boston cannolis but you also get to attend tours in the Old North Church and learn about how they made chocolate years ago. This tour had everything! Perfect for couples, parents visiting, and friends!! Thanks Pat!
