Thank You Molly M.

We had a fantastic time on the North End Food Tour. Molly was very enthusiastic and was very knowledgeable of all the sites we visited. She made everything fun. Molly was the best Tour Guide we have every had the pleasure of meeting. The food was delicious, and the places we visited were unique and very interesting. We would love to have Molly as our Tour Guide again when we visit Boston for another Tour.

Fabulous xperience!

Every minute of this tour was amazing! My husband and I grew up in Boston. My mother was born and brought up on Prince Street and I spend a good portion of my childhood there. I can not believe how much I didn’t know about this historic part of the city. Our guide was informative, friendly and took us to fabulous neighborhood spots not tourist traps. He had it timed perfectly between spots of interest. The food was great as were the conversation the guide got going between the people on the tour. I highly recommend this tour not just for visitors to Boston but to Bostonians as well. A big A+ to our guide!

North end walking history food tour

This was a birthday gift and by far my favorite. The food was absolutely amazing and the pace was perfect. One of my worries was keeping up with my group but I didn't have to worry I never got tired since whenever we are we sat down. My tour guide Janet was amazing and I loved all the history stories and her own antidotes and fun facts.
