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!

Great walking tour

Had a great experience on the History and Highlights walking tour. Hayley was professional and proactive, reaching out on the morning of the tour to confirm the meeting point. The tour itself was excellently paced with a great mix of historic tidbits and modern culture. Hayley is a wealth of knowledge. I enjoyed learning about the local architects and the evolution of Larimer Square. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting the city!
