Amazing Tour - What a wonderful experience we had. Highly recommend this tour with Paula. She gave us so much history of the North End and brought us to places we never would have seen. Put this tour on the top of your list, of things to do in Boston.

Inside the North End - Short distances were involved, so easy walk. Guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We would do it again.

One of the best tours I’ve ever been on - My wife and I book a food tour in every new city we go to. Paula did truly make this one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. She weaved in history with food so effortlessly that I could’ve sat and listened to her wax poetic on north end history all day. The food, unsurprisingly, was also insanely good and everyone we met at the restaurants and shops was so lovely. 10/10 would do again and recommend as THE tour you do in Boston.

A great eating and historical tour of the North End! - My family and I really enjoyed this eating and history tour of the North End. I was looking for an experience we’d all enjoy that combined our love of exploring different cultures, tasting and learning about foods, and their historical context. It was great to explore some of the neighborhood and we appreciated starting off with reviewing the map of the area and learning about its history over the past couple of hundred years. Paula has so much knowledge of the area and it was great to taste foods from some of the local eateries. I’d definitely recommend for something fun, delicious, and educational too!

Best Food Tour Guide I’ve Ever Experienced - FANTASTIC Tour! Paula is excellent…engaging; entertaining; informative and fun! 3 hours were spread out nicely over 6 sites, each with a different vibe & atmosphere. Everything we ate (and drank) we loved. Sites were even places I’d never been having once lived in the North End. Lots of interesting facts & history along the way. Paula was super personable! Would HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Highly recommend this tour with Paula - This is an excellent tour, Paula is fantastic, different food samples as well as some history along the way. Some of the our stops were Umberto, for one of the best rice balls and sicilian pizza I ever had.Salumeria market, for a oil and balsamic tasting as well as cheese and procuitto.Bricco bakery for delicious breads and pastry and our sit down for lunch was at Ristorante Saraceno, the meal included bread, appetizer, lunch (macaroni) and wine tastings. We also stopped at a local liquor store for limoncello and a pistacio liquor, last stop was dessert - Gelato at Caffe Paradiso...Paula was very knowledgeable with a vivacious personality. Would highly recommend this tour

Great Experience - Excellent experience! The history lesson well appreciated received on the neighborhood and Italian culture overall was really cool. The food was fantastic! We did not leave with empty stomachs. Stopped at places I would have never of seen or thought of going into. Our tour guide Paula is fabulous. She is a walking history book. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone!

Great Family Excursion - So much interesting history in the North End, and the little hidden spots for delicious Italian treats!! Paula is a long time resident of the North End and it is very apparent that she loves it!! She, herself, is a treasure!!
