Reviews
This was a great tour that not only included local charm, great Italian eats, insider tips on how to experience Boston, but also a great history lesson you don't always read in the books.
Would definitely recommend this night tour to everyone. Our driver, Carl, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our 7 year olds loved the tour a lot and consider it the best part of their Washington DC trip. I can see it being a bit hard to enjoy it fully when the weather doesn't cooperate but we had some great weather so we were really lucky.
We enjoyed our guide Bob and trainee Maddie. Our group was small, including us "locals" from Vermont, two world travelers from Minnesota, and a couple from Ireland. Rain dampened our walk and our clothes, yet we still enjoyed the learning, the history, the food and the company. Bob was very knowledgeable and informative and friendly. We highly recommend him and the North End Foodie Tour!

Mmmmm good!
A tour well worth taking! Our guide Tim led a fun tour and was very knowledgeable about local history and all of the excellent food we got to try. You won’t go home hungry and you’ll definitely know more about Boston and the seaport than you did before the tour!
Great Seafood Walking Tour!!!
We had a super time with Nabil taking us around the Seaport area of Boston and showing us the history of the fishing industry. Along the way we stopped for some delicious treats. We started with a Clam Chowder, followed onwards by Blue Fin Tuna sushi. It was then off to savour Oysters and Fish Tacos. The climax, of course, was the fabulous Lobster roll. This was a great experience undertaken by a great guy. If you fancy a stroll through Seaport, some really interesting information about Boston and great sea food, then this is certainly for you.
