North End Food Tour. - We have been to the North end in the past but this time we had a tour that included great food and history. Our tour guide was a very knowledgeable young man named Adam. He showed us landmarks and some areas we hadn’t noticed when we had been on our own. It was a very enjoyable tour. It was the day after the Boston Marathon and our guide was congratulating people in the streets wearing medals indicating they had finished the race. I feel we learned a bit about Bostonian etiquette as well ! The food was great, the historical information was interesting and the price was right! You could see our guide was enthusiastic about this beautiful city and sensed he had a true love for it. It was all in all a tour I’d recommend to new visitors and those like us that have been, but overlooked some gems.
Well Done Adam!!!

An Absolute Must-Do in Boston – Adam is the Best! - We had the best time on our Boston food tour with Up and Adam Food Tours, truly a 5-star experience!
Adam was so personable and made the whole tour feel easy, fun, and really special from the start. What I loved most is that he doesn’t just know the food (which was all amazing), but he also weaves in so much history about the city along the way. It made every stop feel more meaningful and memorable.
You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does, and it shows in every detail.
Highly recommend! Such a great way to experience Boston. We’ll definitely be back for another tour next time we’re in town!

More Than Just Food – A Memorable North End Experience - This was our family’s first food tour, and it exceeded all our expectations. We chose the North End tour after hearing it was the best area for food, and with so many options, a guided tour felt like the perfect choice. We’re so glad we did—it’s absolutely worth it.
Rather than naming the specific stops (so as not to spoil the experience), I’ll just say that all five places we visited were fantastic. We enjoyed a great mix of three savory dishes and two sweet treats. Even our picky children tried new foods and loved everything, which says a lot!
Beyond the food, the historical insights we gained made the experience even more special. We learned so much about the North End. Adam was passionate, engaging, and great with our kids—he truly kept their attention and made the tour feel like we were exploring with a friend. He was also very accommodating of our children’s allergies, which we really appreciated.
He guided us through hidden, off-the-beaten-path spots where we enjoyed amazing food. After the tour, he even sent us a list of recommended restaurants to try on our own. The pace was relaxed, never rushed, and we had plenty of time to take photos and soak it all in.
We would absolutely book another tour with Adam if we return to the area. Thank you, Adam—highly recommended!

Top shelf food tour - Excellent food/history tour of north end eateries on the water, tucked away down alleys and rustic historic cafes. Each selection was well planned and each selection provided top shelf examples of Boston’s north end.
Adam is also quite knowledgeable of local history. I particularly liked his binder of before/after photos.
We have been on many food tours - this was one of the best!

Five stars for Adam’s... - Five stars for Adam’s North End tour. He mixes food + history in the best way—quick stories on the neighborhood, then right into spots we never would’ve found on our own. Every stop was legit tasty, portions were solid, and the pacing never dragged. Adam’s easygoing, knows great North End trivia, and clearly loves the area. If you want more than just a bite to eat, this is the way to do the North End.
