Reviews
Wonderful to do in the evening, less crowded. Good for all ages, even kids. Hits all the major sights.
We did an early morning tour with Lorenzo. This was definitely the highlight of our quick stop in DC on the way home from Spring Break. Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The 7 am tour was perfect for photos of all monuments and buildings! There was no one around and traffic was minimal!
Dr. Cook was fantastic. Would definitely book with them again. He was fun and extremely knowledgable. would highly recommend.
Traveler reviews
Well worth 3 hours of your life
Excellent from start to finish. Our guide Nabil was very knowledgeable and approachable. It was like a history tour, but with food at the fore front. Little Italy has now become our favourite place in Boston (So good we went back the next day for more canolis and coffee). From the fresh baked bread to the cheese pizza and everything in-between. Excellent. Lovely group (10 in total), we really did have a memorable day. Would Highly Highly recommend.
North End tour is great!
Five Stars! The tour was great and our guide Lexi, made it especially fun. She gave us a lot of great historical info and made the tour a great experience. The North End is a really interesting place, and Lexi showed us some of the great food available there (and we got to eat 4 really good things). Ask for Lexi if you can. (NOTE TO OWNERs of this tour company - your website says to 'meet at 156 Blackstone St' and that address is incorrect. The correct address is 136 Blackstone St. There is no 156 Blackstone so it's very confusing. Please correct your website info. Thanks.)
