Food, history & fun!! 10/10! - We had an amazing experience on our North End food tour, and Olivia truly made it unforgettable! From start to finish, she was engaging, knowledgeable, and so passionate about Boston’s history and food scene. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen - from the incredibly just filled cannolis and freshly brewed coffee to the authentic Italian sandwiches and pizza. Olivia didn’t just take us to great spots, she brought each place to life with stories and history that made the entire experience so much more meaningful. I especially loved how she tied in the Freedom Trail and shared fun, lesser known facts about Paul Revere and the area. She also created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere for our family, it felt like exploring the city with a friend who knows all the best hidden gems. If you’re considering a North End food tour, definitely go with Olivia. You won’t regret it!

A taste of history - This was our last adventure in Boston and the perfect end to our time in there! Our guide, Olivia, was wonderful! Her passion for history and the North End made the experience so much more than a tour. The walk was pleasant, and the food and vendors were absolutely wonderful! One of the reasons we chose this experience was to be able to try authentic food and not a touristy version. Olivia delivered! I can’t decide which I enjoyed more-the food or the history - but I know where to get the best cannoli in Boston!

On of the best tours in Biston - This is a wonderful tour. Very informative and lots of tasty food. Our guide, Nabil, was excellent. He exceeded our expectations. We would recommend this tour to anyone, not just “foodies”. If you book this tour it would an extra treat to have Nabil as your guide.
