I keep telling people this was one of the best days I've had this summer! Dessert, cocktails and history - what better way to explore the North End? Pat, our tour guide, was fun and knowledgeable and took us to some great North End spots - some famous ones as well as some hidden gems. Being from Boston, my boyfriend and I are familiar with the area, but still learned so much on the tour and will definitely be going back to some of the spots. So whether you're a local, a tourist, or hosting an event (bachelor party, company outing) you will surely enjoy this!

Pat was super friendly and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained and informed us of many interesting North End tidbits. I expected the desserts to be delicious and they were. I did not expect to have such a fun learning experience. As locals My girlfriend and I definitely got to see this historic neighborhood in a new light. I'd recommend this tour to any of my friends locals or tourists.

My husband and I did the Cocktails and Cannoli walking tour a couple weekends ago. It was an awesome experience and a great way to spend the afternoon on a gorgeous summer Sunday. Our tour guide, Patrick, was really knowledgeable about the city and the places we visited in the North End. The tour was just the right combination of drinks and desserts and the perfect duration, not too short and not too long. We easily found parking on Hanover Street since we did the Sunday tour which was great. We did a cannoli taste-off that was a lot of fun! I was able to decide my favorite place at the end and I will definitely be going back for some more yummy desserts! My husband enjoyed the Moscow mule at our first stop and so did I, even though it’s not one of my favorite drinks! I would highly recommend this tour to any couples, girls/guys looking for a day out, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or just a fun time to spend with family or friends. There’s so much history to Boston and so many unique places I would have never discovered - this was a great way to learn more and enjoy a nice day out. Do this tour before you grab some delicious pizza in the North End! :)
