Totally Worth It - Oh my gosh, Audrey was such a delight as our tour guide! She guided us around the North End and Boston Market areas. We tried a variety of foods and style (basement panaderías, patios, cash only pizza, market donuts, nuts, etc). It was also really neat to learn about the family and restaurant culture behind the food and restaurants.

Great food tour in Boston! - The Boston Foodie Tour was fantastic! Audrey was an incredible guide. (She seems to know every person in every restaurant in Boston!) The food was delicious, and Audrey provided color and context and historical background for each place we visited. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. I highly recommend this tour!

Lovely tour - Audrey was lovely and took us on a tour of the Little Italy area and a few parts of the North end. We came hungry and had some very nice dishes. We started with fabulous cannolis and ended with clam chowder. The tour inspired us to come back to the Little Italy area for dinner the next night and we were not disappointed. The tour took about 3.5 hours. It was very hot when we were there and Audrey was very aware of staying out of the sun. Bottom line, I’d go again!

10 “Baby Toes” Review for the Win!!! - What a wonderful tour provided by a truly wonderful person. Audrey, the founder, delighted us with an amazing tour filled with Italian treats and modern culinary options courtesy of the public market. We started with creamy cannolis, moved to savory Sicilian style pizza, then a surprising Italian lemon slush, followed by decadent gelato, fresh bread and mozzarella, flavorful nuts, and the ultimate Boston tradition of clam chowder. She gave us a thorough explanation of the history of the North End and the hopes for it in the future. So glad we chose this tour because we got a local’s perspective!

Must do when in Boston... - Had a fantastic time on our North End Food Tour. Audrey is incredibly knowledgable about the food scene in Boston and provided us great insight to the "behind the scenes" in the North End. Visited some amazing spots and had delicious tastings of a wide array of dishes. Had so much food we cancelled our dinner reservation that night! GREAT TIME! Well worth the time and expense...highly recommended!
