    Good fun

    Anthony was great! Got the back story on many places we've gone to over the years and learned some new secret spots. Dinner at his mom's was icing on very tasty cake! Would highly recommend this tour.

    Great tour!

    Anthony’s tour was extremely informative and fun! We ate so much great food and had a truly authentic experience. Everyone should do themselves a favor, get out of their comfort zone and take this tour when their in Boston. Such an awesome day.

    North End
    Wandering around Boston’s North End can feel like
    being transported to Europe. Stroll down Hanover and
    Salem streets for the finest Italian restaurants,
    bakeries, cafes, and a few boutique shops. Take part
    in the big debate as to whether Modern Pastry or
    Mike’s serves a better cannoli. Before your food coma
    sets in, make sure to stop by historic Paul Revere’s
    home, and follow the Freedom Trail to Old North Church
