Best food tour in Boston - Boston Foodie Tours was the best! Audrey and friends did a private tour for our 24 ladies. The food was fabulous, the walk and weather the best, the guides so fun!! We ate our way through the afternoon! So yummy. Highly recommend this tour.

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.

Best food tour we've ever done - Perfect experience for people who love food and culture! Audrey was amazing, we felt like we were traveling with North End Royalty because she knows everyone. She was so much fun and the food was top notch.

The only foodie tour you need to do in the north end - Audrey was absolutely amazing! If you do any tour in Boston, this should be it. All of the food was amazing, we actually went back to a couple of the spots during our trip. She knows everyone so you get an insight into all of the places you go and you get a big piece of the history and culture of the food scene. It was a small intimate tour given by a local and you could tell we were getting the better tour when all of the big chain tours were passing us so quickly at the locations. We talked to a lot of the chefs and owners and felt so spoiled the whole time. Honestly, this was the best part of our trip and we’re planning on bringing our kids back some day!

Best Ever - Audrey was amazing. We have gone on food tours in several cities, this was by far the best. She was knowledgeable and passionate about the history and food in the end. I would definitely contact Boston Foodie for another tour tour on a future trip.
