Make sure you don’t go to... - Make sure you don’t go to the Market and eat beforehand. Go hungry because you will have a lot of delicious food prepared by local north end Italians

Exactly as it was supposed to be - This was exactly as we hoped it would be. A tour the the Northern Italian district by someone who grew up there. The guide was fun, funny and was just as you would think from the title. The food was absolutely fantastic and you would likely not choose these restaurants on purpose unless you knew the neighborhood. I would highly recommend to anyone who doesn't get offended easily.

Amazing food tour - This tour was amazing. Anthony made the tour so enjoyable. He is very knowable about the North End food. The food was all amazing. We were full after the first two stops and had 4 stops after that. Must do when in Boston

Fun, interesting and delicious! - We loved Anthony’s tour and highly recommend it! He grew up in the North End of Boston and shared authentic stories of then and now. I’m not usually a big fan of tours, but this isn’t just any ordinary tour. Anthony was fun and entertaining and shared history of the area in a fun and interesting way. We sampled delicious food from several North End restaurants and loved every bite! 10/10 recommend!

Tons of knowledge... - Tons of knowledge presented in a fun way of north Boston. Don’t come if you’re easily offended. But his humor is what makes this tour so much different.

Excellent tour but a long tour - I enjoyed the tour, but ;The guide was late. He says he’s always late, it’s part of show. He is a neighborhood guy, he is friendly and knows his stuff. His stories were very interesting but long and amounted to standing a long time. The food was plenty and pretty good. The sandwich and raviolis and gelato were excellent. I recommend this tour but requires some endurance and it’s certainly not politically correct.

Chain smoking guide : horrible tour - Horrible experience! Chain smoking tour guide who blows smoke near guests as he is talking . We left the tour because after 1.5 hours he has only made one stop for food then left our entire groin behind at a park while he went to go get pepperoni pizza . It was the word trouble ever been on and we would like a refund
