Each tour she has been absolutely incredible and every time I go to Boston I feel like I need a Boston Foodie Tour with Audrey!

Another thing I love about her tour company is that it is not jam packed with so many people. You can truly have a good experience not being overcrowded. Thank you so much Audrey!! We love you and hope to visit again soon!!

Paula is an incredible guide--an enthusiastic historian with a deep love for the North End, its rich stories, and its vibrant food scene. She brought the neighborhood to life with fascinating facts, local lore, and unforgettable bites from hidden gems we would've never found on our own. We were so lucky to be the only two people who kept our reservation despite the rain, and honestly? It made the experience even more magical. Paula customized the tour to our pace and preferences, and it felt like we were exploring with a friend who knows everything about the area. One unforgettable stop was Ristorante Saraceno, where we met Franco--the owner--who is an absolute joy to interact with. His warm hospitality, legendary food, and impeccable service made us feel right at home. Buon appetito, indeed! I've done food tours in several cities, but this was hands down the best one yet. From the cozy mom-and-pop spots to the authentic flavors and stories, it was a feast for all the senses. You can genuinely feel Paula's passion for this historic neighborhood and its people. Don't miss it!

Now this tour may not be for everyone, as the title of the tour alludes to.. but if you don't mind the random swear word and aren't easily offended, you'll be like me... cracking up for 3 hours straight. And there was one thing I noticed about Anthony that he doesn't advertise, and may try to track me down for saying on here.... But beneath the gruff exterior was the sweetest guy that seemed genuinely interested in sharing his culture, stories, and amazing food with everyone! We started off at a pizza joint where we got a slice of pizza and an arancini ball. I expected the pizza to be good... and it was fantastic. But I am not a huge fan of arancini and this one had peas in it... also something I am not a huge fan.... But hey, I was on a food tour so I was going to try everything! Thank goodness I did, because this arancini was the stuff of dreams. How in the world could something be THAT much better than what high end Italian restaurants advertise? The last time I had an arancini ball was at a restaurant in Hawaii that won "best Italian food in Hawaii".... And it was only so-so. This arancini ball would make me fly 5,000 just to eat it again! Next up was a deli sub, a coffee shop, ravioli, a pastry shop and lastly an affogato (or gelato if you didn't want coffee that late in the day). Based on the food I received, before factoring in all the stories that Anthony shared, I feel the tour was really underpriced. I wish I hadn't done this the tour on my last day, I would have gone back for another round of everything we tried, as well as everything that was recommended. Heck I may have signed up for the tour again just to experience it all over again!

The tour guide, Anthony, is a living embodiment of the spirit of the North End. He knows and loves the streets, the people and the food there. And he is passionate about sharing that knowledge. His stories about the neighborhood and its history are entertaining, educational, and funny. Warning: they are colored occasionally by some spicy language! If you are easily offended by that, this may not be the best tour for you. If not, it all seems perfectly appropriate and is meant in good fun. This is one of the very few tours that we would take again. Can't wait to get back to Boston! Highly recommended!

Our guide (& had I did it that night I prob would have remembered her name) was quite literally the best tour guide I have ever had, at EVERYTHING... I mean just all the tours in life... Im from here - I THOUGHT I knew all the things, and this was a work event and the team is all from here, but we thought it was more a "Food (which it was) Tour" but this gal knew HISTORY - Stuff I didnt even know! But not that she just knew, she had SO MUCH personality, I would literally pay again just to hang with her for the night! With the exception of Dino's I had been to all these places in the past but it was just cool to do it in a different manor. The Food places were fun, the history was great, She was welcoming, knowledgeable and just all around a great person for this job! When in town this is a tour you need (And comfy shoes!)

Both tours were…read morecancelled on us by Great Food Tours by email within days of the scheduled tour due to low attendance. It turns out they don't run a tour unless there is at least 10 people signed on. I had to ask in order to find that out. They would have saved us all the annoyance of oft cancelled tours if only they'd upgrade their website to show the number of spots taken per available tour date and mentioned this little tidbit so that their customers could self-select to cluster themselves. Fortunately, we're locals. If we were planning a trip to Boston from out of state, this would have been a worse annoyance and inconvenience than it already was. PS - their phone number is a joke. We tried every option and everything pointed the caller back to their website and the online chat option. There's no way to get a human being.

Signing up for the tour was easy enough though I don't really like the idea of paying the (optional) fee via PayPal. For some reason when I did that in New Orleans, it automatically created a new PayPal account for me, based on the email address I used. (Even though it says you don't need a PayPal account...) But this time when I attempted to use the same email to pay, it just wouldn't go through despite resetting the password and what not. Ended up asking hubby to pay with his PayPal. Quite a hassle. Other than that, our guide, Brian, was hilarious and passionate about educating us and I had a great time. We took the tour on Mother's Day and half of the 25 or so customers were from Europe. I think maybe there is a little language barrier as not everyone laughed at Brian's jokes. Plus it was a super windy and cold day and some just wanna go back to bed I guess. The tour was about 1 hour 45 mins. It really didn't walk far, maybe 1-1.5 miles. But I truly enjoyed the story telling. Highly recommend.
