    Be careful booking
    The tour was great but there was a misunderstanding with the booking. Make sure to do it correctly because they will NOT budge about a refund. :(

    A wonderful tour. Who knew we would get Tony as a guide for this tour also. As a history instructor, I can't imagine anyone better. From the meeting spot at Tony DeMarco's statue, the stories began. Wandering at a leisurely pace along Hanover, Tony shared the best places for pizza and pastries, and the differences between the shops and food. Imagine ordering a cannoli, prepared for you with fresh ingredients of your choice, and enjoying it within minutes of paying for it. Tony even shared which lemonade to buy. Hearing where Tony himself buys fresh pasta to take home for his family, we knew where we wanted to eat dinner that evening. We filled up quickly, trying the foods, but did return to Bricco's for a lovely and delicious dinner. The knowledge wasn't just with the food, but the history also, as we walked by Paul Revere's home, and saw the Old North Church. When my husband stopped for a restroom, he was back sooner than others in our tour, and I asked how it was he didn't have to wait. He said he saw the line and skipped it, knowing he was missing out on "Tony Wisdom" all the time he was away from the group. I wish I could recall the name of the store near the end of the tour that was such fun to walk through, and loved seeing how it's still the same as the original owner kept it. It was like walking through the history itself. At the end of our tour, Tony shared the fascinating story of the Great Molasses Flood in 1919. I had never heard of it previously, and how great it was to learn of it from such a tremendous story teller.

    The Little Italy tour was very interesting and the food we bought was delicious, especially the cannolis! Cady, the tour guide, was such a trouper because the weather was almost unbearable due to a heat wave that hit Boston. She stayed upbeat and endured all of our questions! Great job Cady!

    We had so much fun learning about Boston's North End and eating our way made it stick with us. Between pizza and cannolis how could it be a bad experience. Our guide was wonderful and it is always nice getting the local perspective.

    It was a good tour from both a historical and food standpoint. The places we stopped to eat were fantastic, but maybe lacked variety. 3 cannoli places, two Sicilian pizza places and a couple of other bakery-type places. I would have liked a deli or pasta stop.

    I did the North End Tour this week and had a really awesome tour guide (Tony). I have been in that area countless times and was floored by how much history of the area I hadn't known.
    Also, who could beat the pairing of history with ... amazing food? (The tour makes stops so you can buy anything from panini to cannoli and pizza/arancini to gelato). It was a very hot day, but our guide didn't let that phase him. Depending on how many people are on the tour, you may have to wait a bit for everyone to finish at food stops. But I definitely learned a lot, ate well, and the guide was open to questions and further discussion. Also note: some food places on the tour only take cash.
