Cannelloni Off! - It was a great afternoon! Patrick takes you to some of the most iconic places and as a local gives you some of the history. The cannoli taste test is unique and fun. Worth it!

Book This, You won't regret it!! - What a Funtastic experience with Patrick! Was gifted the tour and took a friend with me - Makes an Awesome Gift for anyone! Patrick is awesome and knows the North End inside and out. He makes the tour fun and interesting with his knowledge of the North End, Boston, desserts and alcohol. He is also very good at being attentive to all parties and having easy social conversations - he's very personable and comfortable to be around. The food and drinks were all delicious and portioned just right so you don't feel too full or lightheaded. It's perfectly planned out. I would recommend this tour to anyone age 21-100 yo who lives in Boston, MA or out of state! What a great way to visit and learn about the North End while getting to sample desserts and drinks. If you don't do it for yourself, which you should, gift it to someone - you won't regret it! Thank you Patrick for a wonderful tour and time!!!

1000/10 RECOMMEND - Pat's tour was absolutely amazing!! My family and I booked it for my dad's birthday and were so excited to try it out! He braved the pouring rain with us which we are so thankful for because my dad was so excited for espresso martinis. The food and drink choices were amazing and we ate/drank way more than I had expected for the price. I already have a private tour booked again with him and have been telling everyone about the tour! It's going to be my new go-to for get togethers and birthdays!!
