If you're looking for a foodie tour with plenty of yummy things to eat, this is your tour. BUT this tour is so much more than that. Paula knows some North End history and that's where she lives, as well. She has experienced knowledge of Italy, having visited many times, and also speaks to the immigrant surge of the late 19th c. She weaves personal experience and cultural, historical, and culinary facts into her narrative. She's passionate about her tour - and frankly, I don't know how she keeps that enthusiasm after more than a decade of walking folks around the North End! She's genuine and responsive and when asked a question about which she knows only a little, she doesn't try and snow you - but she knows a lot about many things yet she is not arrogant in the least. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And the food; so good. Mucho gusto. Grazie.

Thank you for this incredibly generous and thoughtful review! I genuinely love sharing the North End so much that regardless of how many tours I have given, I get excited and energized by the neighborhood. Iām so glad you enjoyed all of the delicious food and the history.
Happy Travels,,
