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!

What an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Pat, was great, and so knowledge about the North End. He knew everything from the history, to the best restaurants, and of course where to get the best dessert and cocktails. Pat took us all over the North End to sample delicious cocktails and famous desserts! We also got to do a blind taste test to see who has the best cannoli in the North End - so cool! This tour is not only great for those visiting the area, but also a fun and unique way for locals to explore the North End!

Looking for an intimate tour with laughter, history and alcohol then look no further! This is an incredible tour that shouldn't be overlooked! I probably walked through the north end a dozen times over the weekend and while walking with Pat he shows you places that are often overlooked by tourist (aka me)! He shares with you the history of Alcohol in Boston and teaches you things that you don't get taught in those high school tours and those big tours that Boston offers with the people in costumes. Also the cannoli's are to die for! Take this tour if you want to have a relaxed time and hang out with a true local who knows what hes talking about! This is one not to be missed! Recommend to all of my friends even a friend of mine who is local!
