Authentic and DELICIOUS North-End Experience - Allen was GREAT!! He was knowledgeable- giving us historical and local information. While the north-end has many fabulous eateries, he took us to “gems” those of us unfamiliar with the area would likely miss. His style and friendliness made it an afternoon spent with a friend vs. a tour guide.

Enjoyed every stop! - This was our first food tour. Allison was a great guide. She took us off the beaten path to show us some great places! Certainly A LOT of food!!! We did a family trip and all of us enjoyed the tour as well as the food! Loved how she gave some city info as we walked through the North End. Would definitely recommend! Also appreciated her giving us some other travel tips as we continued our trip outside of Boston. Thanks again!
