“I’ve been living in Boston for over a decade but discovered so many good things in the North End on this tour.
…I always discover a new favorite restaurant. Plus, I walked more through the neighborhood than I ever have. Highly recommend!”
Our Hospitality
Every detail, arranged by your guide before you arrive.
Seated tastings
At our sit-down stops, fresh-made local specialties are waiting for you at a table reserved for your group. Each tasting is your own individual portion, never a shared plate.
Dietary needs, handled
Tell us when you book, and substitutions are arranged with each restaurant ahead of time. Our tours offer a good mix of vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free options.
All food costs included
Every tasting, plus the tip for your servers where we are seated, is handled behind the scenes. We support our local restaurants and the staff who serve us.
Guides who know the stories
They share the stories of the chefs and owners behind every stop, along with the history of the neighborhood.

Before You Book
Frequently asked questions
Will we just be visiting restaurants to sample food?
Definitely not! In addition to delicious local food tastings, we also serve up a hearty helping of neighborhood commentary. We'll share the backgrounds and inspiration of the chefs and owners behind the eateries we visit, as well as plenty of historical, cultural and architectural information about the neighborhood.
How much food can I expect to eat during the tour?
Our tours collectively provide enough food for a satisfying lunch for most people. We provide tastings, so please do not expect a full meal at each location. Some tastings are served seated inside the restaurant, and others in a more “on the go” manner to allow time for the neighborhood.
Are there vegetarian options available?
We can provide vegetarian options in most tasting locations with advance notice. Please make this request when purchasing tickets, as we will not be able to arrange alternatives on the day of the tour. We are not able to accommodate a vegan diet on any of our tours.
Do I need to purchase tickets in advance?
Tickets must be purchased in advance, online or by calling 617-702-2483. Cash is not accepted for ticket purchases.
Can children participate in the tour?
Children ages 12 and older are welcome. Our tours last 2.5 to 3 hours with a lot of time outdoors and on our feet, which past experience has shown is challenging for young children. Due to space limitations, strollers are not permitted on any of our tours.
Are tours given in bad weather?
Tours are held rain or shine. Please check the forecast and plan ahead: if rain is predicted, bring an umbrella and proper rain gear, and dress for the season.
