Lovely tour - Audrey was lovely and took us on a tour of the Little Italy area and a few parts of the North end. We came hungry and had some very nice dishes. We started with fabulous cannolis and ended with clam chowder. The tour inspired us to come back to the Little Italy area for dinner the next night and we were not disappointed. The tour took about 3.5 hours. It was very hot when we were there and Audrey was very aware of staying out of the sun. Bottom line, I’d go again!

10 “Baby Toes” Review for the Win!!! - What a wonderful tour provided by a truly wonderful person. Audrey, the founder, delighted us with an amazing tour filled with Italian treats and modern culinary options courtesy of the public market. We started with creamy cannolis, moved to savory Sicilian style pizza, then a surprising Italian lemon slush, followed by decadent gelato, fresh bread and mozzarella, flavorful nuts, and the ultimate Boston tradition of clam chowder. She gave us a thorough explanation of the history of the North End and the hopes for it in the future. So glad we chose this tour because we got a local’s perspective!

Amazing experience! - We’re so glad we chose this tour! Audrey was amazing, and we LOVED the experience she provided. In addition to sharing amazing food with us, she shared all of the stories and history to really enhance the experience, and she made us feel like family. We definitely recommend and would come back any time we are in Boston.

Must do when in Boston... - Had a fantastic time on our North End Food Tour. Audrey is incredibly knowledgable about the food scene in Boston and provided us great insight to the "behind the scenes" in the North End. Visited some amazing spots and had delicious tastings of a wide array of dishes. Had so much food we cancelled our dinner reservation that night! GREAT TIME! Well worth the time and expense...highly recommended!

Multi-generational Food Fun! - Our 12 year old granddaughter toured with us and enjoyed it as much as we did. Audrey did a great job pulling together the food and the culture of the North End. No need for lunch or dinner! Definitely a gluten fest! Food was great and we never would have found the many hidden gems that we got to experience. We went back the next day to some recommendations that we didn't get to during the tour. Audrey is really connected in the community and learning a lot of the background that she dished out was as exciting. It was definitely a high light of our trip.
