Fun and delicious time in the North End - Nabil was an incredible guide. We felt like he was showing us his hometown with all the tidbits and anecdotes he shared about the North End. And he took us to places that had the BEST food! We were all so full from his culinary choices and his knowledge of the area. If we come back to Boston again, this tour WITH Nabil will be tops on our list!

Fun but too cold! - Nabel was very funny, friendly and was loaded with information.
Cannoli was wonderful. I would have liked to have eaten in places where we could sit. It was freezing and raining outside . So it definitely would have been enjoyable if most of the food stops had been indoors.

Great food and cool spots to check out - Nabil was a fantastic guide! My sister & brother-in-law took my wife on this tour for her birthday and we had an awesome time. Great food and exposure to some cool spots to check out in the future in the North End.. mixed in with some history tidbits that we really enjoyed. Would recommend to most.

Ok, not great but could be - This was a nice outing, but it could be so much better. The food, we were six people eating a reverse order. We were first taken to get a slice of bread, we didn't choose. Then we went to have cannoli and cappuccino. Afterwards we were given 1/4 of a sandwich for four of us and two got a half each, kind of ridiculous. Each person should at least get a half sandwich. The six of us then split a personal pizza, on slice each, seriously. We got to see the North end, we got to hear some history and see some sights, but the order of the food and lack of choice left something to be desired. We should be given a couple of choices, larger portions and desert at the end not the beginning of the tour. We walked past the Paul Revere house with out going in, for $6 bucks a little more time would have been time well spent. No narration or information on the North Church.
