Boston is where it's at! - I recently enjoyed this fantastic walking tour of Boston's North End, known as Little Italy, 🍝 guided by Paula. Her deep knowledge and passion for the neighborhood's history and cuisine is impressive. Her positive energy and storytelling brought the area's rich Italian heritage to life, making the tour both engaging and super tasty!! 🍕

Best way to truly get a taste of the area! - My husband was skeptical of taking this tour because he is a picky eater, but he was pleasantly surprised and we both really enjoyed it. Paula is extremely knowledgeable about the history of North Boston and focused on interesting aspects and hidden gems in the neighborhood that only a long time, proud resident would know about. The flow of the events was smooth and there was more than enough delicious food to sample. We gained an appreciation of the modern history of North Boston.

Sign up for this tour if you come to Boston - Paula gave a fantastic tour! We learned so much about the North End but even more about the roots of the neighborhood going back hundreds of years in Europe. This helped paint the picture of what makes the North End what it is today.
The food was outstanding and the locations selected were terrific. She has so much knowledge and passion for the history, food and wine. It was money and time well spent.
