It's an absolute must! - It was phenomenal, Scotty is a savant with quick wit and storytelling. Its the best money you'll spend on your whole trip. Not to mention on top of the great conversation you also get pizza and a canolli from the best pizzarias and pastry in North End.

A tour for foodies and history buffs alike - best of both worlds! - Fantastic tour with Scotty the guide. He’s a local with roots in the North End, knows his history and his pizza. My wife is a historical preservationist tour guide and she thought Scotty did a great job on the history side and we all enjoyed the three different pizza joints we stopped at along the way. It’s a lot of delicious food, but spaced out perfectly over the 2.5 hour tour. Highly recommend this for locals and tourists alike.

What could be better than pizza and a history walk together together! Like a Kit Kat. - Such a fun tour. 3 slices of great pizza - one at the very start, another an hour later and a third slice as the tour finishes. And in between the delicious pizza, Scotty our tour guide delighted and entertained us with great North End and Boston history stories. My wife is a historic preservation tour guide and she thought the history part of the tour was terrific. Scotty is a very witty, good hearted and fun tour guide. 4 of 6 people on our tour were locals so this isn’t just for tourists.

Funny, delicious and fun! - SO MUCH FUN! Our host was awesome and funny - plus gave us the "inside" history and facts. We knew some of this however the "nuggets" of extra facts were great. Would do this again.

Pizza!! Pizza!! - The North End pizza tour was great!! Scottie/Scotty (sp?) was our tour guide. He's very knowledgeable and funny! He clearly loves the city and all it has to offer. It was a rainy cold day but he made it worth while. The pizza and cannoli were all delicious! Great historical information as well. We would recommend this tour!

Cheese Pizza Only - The tour guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, and provided interesting information. However, the pizza was disappointing. It was a plain cheese pizza, and they should at least offer one topping. On the bright side, the cannoli from Modern Pastry was delicious.

Pizza Tour - There were 6 adults & one child in our tour group. Our guide was friendly & knew the points of interest & history well. The pizza stops were well placed throughout the tour & the cannoli at the end was delicious. The pizza selections were fresh & hot, however variety was lacking. We were offered pepperoni or cheese at one location and only cheese at the other locations. The restaurants we visited were busy so seating for our group was difficult. Our last stop found us standing outside eating our pizza slice & cannoli. Lastly, our tour guide had a good sense of humor but used numerous swear words during our tour. This was unprofessional and inappropriate with a child in our group.
