Public North End Neighborhood Tour

Overview

Why book Boston Foodie Tours' North End Neighborhood Tour? Just ask recent guests! "BEST food tour EVER" and "ahhhhhmazing", they've said.

Our multi-award-winning tours are designed from the perspective of our owner, an Italian-American, native Bostonian who is a culinary school alum. Our focus on award-winning best eats is just the beginning. In between bites of arguably the country's #1 pizza, a Best of Boston-winning Italian sub like no other, an award-winning, Time magazine-featured pasta, and an iconic cannoli, our goal is tell the WHOLE story of this historic neighborhood, with topics ranging from history to movies to crime! And, as we venture off-the-beaten path, we include the neighbors, who share their own experiences.

Oh, and did we mention the three-time Best of Boston-winning bread bakery, the the Food Network, "Best Thing that I Ever Ate"-featured salumeria?

Have we convinced you to join us yet? We hope so!

Audrey was a delightful, enthusiastic and knowledgable culinary queen and tour guide/host. As both founder of the Boston Foodie Tour and a gourmet chef, she guided us through a delectable afternoon of an array of foods...from pizza and pasta to cannoli and sub sandwiches. Funny, candid and engaging...Audrey was delicious!

Your creative writing skills may be even better than our tours!!! Thank you for such a wonderful review of our North End Neighborhood Tour, and for sharing your terrific photos. I'm pleased that the weather didn't dampen either your experience or your enthusiasm, and that you were still able to enjoy the North End's best eats, along with stories of both its history and culture. We hope that we'll have another opportunity to share Boston's best eats with you in the future. (Clarification: While I earned a professional chef's certificate, having never worked in a professional kitchen, I would describe myself as a home cook only. Simple and delicious food is the way to my heart.)

Audrey our host was wonderful. We were three in our group so it was like getting a private tour. The food was delicious. We warn don't eat before you go.

Thank you, your lovely wife, and your sister-in-law for joining us on our North End Neighborhood Tour. It was a pleasure to offer you a more intimate experience than expected, and one that evoked pleasant memories of your family's Sicilian roots, too. We hope that you enjoyed the remainder of your stay, and that we've inspired you to consider a return trip to Boston in the future.

It was a pleasure to both host you and your husband on our North End Neighborhood Tour, and to be included in your initial retirement travels. We were delighted to be able to introduce you to the North End's best eats, including Limoncello's Time magazine-featured Rosette Pasta, a favorite tour tasting that we hope will inspire you to visit Boston again. Wishing you a retirement filled with adventures, discoveries, and lifelong food memories.
