Scrumptious way to explore the North End! - Memorable authentic experience on this amazing food tour with Paula. Loved every stop. Definitely don’t have breakfast. Really feel like you are visiting hidden gems with a local. Not only scrumptious food, but great history/information to go along with it. Perfect way to tour the North End in Boston. We have done many food tours around the world and this was one of our favourites. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful Experience. Highly recommend. - Wanted to get the teens engaged in our trip to Boston and this tour did the trick. I let this activity be a surprise (so no groaning ahead of time. ) and in the end we all really enjoyed Paula’s wealth of knowledge and ALL the delicious food. I was worried 3 hours would be too long and the food would be too little… I worried for nothing. The time passed by fast and our bellies were all full to the brim. Paula is passionate about what she does and it shows! Great tour would highly recommend.

So amazing we did it again! - This is the second time I have taken this tour and it's for a reason: Paula is the best!! She is full of knowledge, history and the absolute best food stops in the North End. She makes you feel like family while you chat along the tour. I always feel like I'm catching up with a best friend. You definitely don't wanna miss this one!

Extremely knowledgeable guide - Paula is an excellent North End guide. She provides a lot of history and takes you to spots you might not notice without her guidance. The tour covers a very small area so not much walking is involved.A great variety of food is included.

North End Food Tour - Great Experience - I've gone on many food tours in my travels, but never gone on one locally. Paula's enthusiasm and the care she has taken to curate a such a wonderful experience of both history and food are what makes this tour top notch. The shops and food on the tour were great and will be on my list when I visit the North End in the future. I highly recommend this tour whether you are visiting Boston or are a local. I do have to note, one of the reasons I booked the tour is Viator states it's a small group tour(10), we had 20+. Although it didn't damper our experience our group of 6 was not always able to sit together/stay together. On the plus side you do get to meet people from other parts of the country/world.

Great Italian Food Tour! - Off the Eaten Path's Paula is a fantastic tour guide, incorporating history and delicious food in three hours. The food was just the right balance of savory and sweet that we could still walk back to our hotel without falling over. :) The small tour group size made the whole experience more personal. We'll never look at olive oil the same way again! Paula also gave us some great recommendations on things to do during the rest of our stay in Boston. Highly recommend you take this North End food tour!

Excellent! - Paula knew so much , not just about the neighborhood but also about Italian immigration history. She also shared her extensive knowledge about wines. It's a "must do" tour. We really enjoyed it!

North End Food Tour - The North End Food Tour with Paula was an enjoyable afternoon, filled with amazing food, history, and personal antidotes through the tour. Being able to experience going into the bakery and watching the baguettes being made was a highlight of the day. I would highly recommend the tour! The only downside was the size of the group, as we were 24 plus on an extremely busy Saturday in the North End, and in Viator’s description where we booked, states Group size 10.

Best food tour - It was so much fun and so informative. Got pizza, pasta, cheese, cannoli, pastry, gelato, wine and it was all delicious. We ate our lunch in this cool restaurant downstairs with statues and beautiful painted pictures on the walls. It was so cozy and such a unique experience. I highly recommend this food tour to all the foodies. The guide lives in the area so she filled us in on all the history and personal experiences. Loved it!!!!
