Private North End Neighborhood Tour

Overview

At Boston Foodie Tours, we are proud to be a multi TripAdvisor Award winner, and one of Boston's original food tours.

Our North End Neighborhood Tour offers a view of Boston's Little Italy from the perspective of our founder, a native Bostonian, with topics ranging from best eats to history to crime to movies, and personal stories that you can't Google! We've included some surprises, too, including FOUR sites that aren't what they appear to be, and two hidden gems in a very unexpected place. And, if you're lucky, you might meet a neighbor or two!

Note: We regret that we cannot accommodate dietary restrictions at this time. If any questions, please message us prior to ticket purchase.

Our tour (and tour guide Audrey) exceeded our expectations in every way. Audrey seems to know everyone in the North End and all the best places to sample the best of the neighborhood. She also knows a lot about the history of the area and of the restaurants and food purveyors there. Our multi-generational family group got to try SO many foods and visit a great many charming places. The walk was well paced and easy. This has our highest recommendation. Just a lovely, personalized experience.

Thank you for entrusting Boston Foodie Tours to provide a memorable food tour experience for you and your loved ones, and for sharing your feedback with future guests. We simply couldn't be more pleased to learn that our private North End & Boston Public Market Tour exceeded your expectations, or more grateful for such a glowing guest review. We're thrilled each time that we have an opportunity to demonstrate that food tours are appropriate for multi-generations of families, and this was no exception. In this case, we had the opportunity to host you and your husband, your son, and your lovely granddaughter at a pace and with tastings that were appropriate for each family member. We hope that our finale, served in John F. Kennedy's favorite Union Oyster House booth, tied a bow around the entire experience, creating lifelong memories for all.

We had a fantastic time with Audrey touring the North End. We ate delicious pizza. We tasted fresh baked bread. We tasted fresh mozzarella with different types of balsamic vinegar. We tried an Italian sub on freshly baked bread and finished with a balsamic glaze that was unlike any Italian sub I’ve ever eaten. Ate delicious pasta at a charming Italian restaurant. And then there was the cannoli, which we were too full to eat- luckily Audrey had it boxed up for us to take home. Yes, there was a lot of food. But, what really made the tour enjoyable was Audrey’s knowledge of the neighborhood and the proprietors- the back stories on the generations of families that have run the various places we visited. The North End is a really special place, steeped in history with fantastic food around every corner. Whether you are a local or just visiting, this tour will be a memorable experience.! I highly recommend it!

And this tour guide had a fantastic time hosting the three of you!!! I couldn't be more pleased that you enjoyed our North End Neighborhood Tour as much as you did, and that your local host made unexpected discoveries, too. You proved, once again, that food tours can be the perfect vehicle for entertaining out-of-town guests. And, sometimes - as in this case - it's the guests' thoughtful gift to their host! We'd like to think that we make the choice easy, whether you're a gift-giver or a recipient. Let us do the entertaining for you. We promise to send locals and visitors alike home happy and full!

There are tours that this tour guide/owner will always remember fondly, and this is one of them. We were honored to be entrusted not only with celebrating your lovely parents' 50th wedding anniversary, but also with ensuring the enjoyment of two other generations, including four young children. Our goal was to capture everyone's interest at "hello" with Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives-featured Saus, where guests enjoyed its multi-award-winning fries - darkened just as "Nana" likes them - along with several dipping sauces. Following were apple cider doughnuts, ice cream, flavored roasted nuts, pizza, Italian sub, artisanal bread, mozzarella, balsamic vinegars, and an iconic cannoli for the long ride home. We hope that the joy-filled family photos, and the award-winning best eats will combine for a lifetime of memories, and that your experience will inspire other families and groups to celebrate meaningful occasions with us.
