We had an awesome time on... - We had an awesome time on the Boston North End Guided Food Tour & Market Visit. Our tour guides name was Sara and she was excellent. Sara was not only a wealth of knowledge she was also personable, bubbly and fun! We stopped at various restaurants and eating locations. Our favorite was the Union Oyster House (the oldest existing restaurant in America) where we were able to eat cornbread, oysters and clam chowder. As a bonus we even got the chance to eat lobster rolls!! Overall just a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this tour.

Pleasant tour guide.... - Pleasant tour guide. Group was about 12 people which is much better than the bigger tour groups. The food selection had some high points, mainly the lobster roll at the end, but average overall.

Plenty of food but lacking history - Debra was a friendly tour guide who helped us cover a lot of ground in just three hours! I was hoping for more history along our route, which is why I gave it three stars. An overview of our intinerary with tentative times would have been helpful, too, because we ended in a place without restrooms and desperately needed them. We ate plenty; in fact, I couldn't finish my lobster roll at the end because I was full!
