Alvin was such an enthusiastic and engaging tour guy. He was so accommodating and gave us great stories while introducing us to AMAZING pizza. This tour is a MUST when visiting Boston
Rachel_W, May 2026
This was our favorite tour! Great way to see the north end and get some delicious pizza. Our tour guide Scottie was very personable and very familiar with the area - and his history knowledge was entertaining even if slightly inaccurate 😂
Sylvia_J, Apr 2026
Bring a big appetite and get ready to enjoy some delicious pizzas. The family loved the tour and our guide was amazing. So knowledgeable, friendly and best of all entertaining! Kids can easily get bored with historic information. Al kept it fresh and fun for all of us. Next time I have friends in the area, I’m going to set up this tour instead of going out to lunch!
Alessandra_M, Apr 2026
Amazing combo of food and history. Ended with the best cannoli I’ve ever had. We went back to one location for more pizza and they were closed. Highly recommend.
Shannon_V, Mar 2026
“Big Al”, our tour guide, was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable about the area we were touring, the history, as well as the untold history! We travelled with our 18 year old and our 15 year old, and we all had a wonderful time! The pizza and cannolis were delicious!!! We highly recommend this tour!
Russell_R, Mar 2026

Cathryn_R, Jan 2026
Pizza tour was great, only problem was that it was so cold out that day. But the tour itself was interesting and the food was good.
Gregory_G, Dec 2025
Alvin was a great guide with tremendous enthusiasm, a warm manner and a great command of local history.
Leah_M, Dec 2025
We did the Pizza & North End tour with our three teenage boys, and it was fantastic. Scotty struck the perfect balance of walking, history, and food, which kept everyone engaged and happy (no small feat with teens!). The pizza stops were delicious, the history was interesting without being overwhelming, and the pace was just right. The pizza stops also gave us a chance to warm up. We highly recommend this tour for families, especially with older kids.
Stacy_S, Dec 2025
This tour was wonderful. I went with my family of 6 and we all loved it. We started at a delicious cannoli place and also stopped at 3 pizza places in the North End and had a slice of pizza at each. Each one was different and delicious. Scotty was the tour guide and he was great. Very entertaining and great stories and information about the North End. This is our favorite section of Boston and we enjoyed the tour and all the food. We were stuffed and happy! Take this tour...you won't regret it!
Brandy_C, Nov 2025
Big Al was FANTABULOUS!!!! We had an amazing time. We traveled with 16yo's and they loved it! BILig Al, became Uncle Al. Best tour guide ever, from our 12yo daughter!
Nicole_T, Nov 2025
Big Al is the absolute best. Everything he does is for your benefit. Loved him so much it’s not even funny! The pizza was soooo good and I would’ve never gone to these places in my own.
Jillian_C, Nov 2025
This tour takes you on the journey of the freedom trail, around the north end. Our tour guide was Scottie. He was really friendly and knowledgeable and fun to be around. We popped into three pizza places that I would never have dreamt of visiting. And a gorgeous bakery. This is a fun way to see a little part of Boston when you dont have much time. I highly recommend it.
Laura_F, Nov 2025
Walk was nice, not too long; was through interesting neighborhood and historic sites. Tour guide was fun and informative. Fun trying different types of pizzas.
Janet_T, Nov 2025
Terrific tour! Al was energetic, funny and full of Boston history! The pizza and cannolis we good too!
n5njpz6t9h, Nov 2025
They cancelled on us due to a conflict. So did not get to try any pizza at all. So far no refund!!!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
So sorry! We had a Tour Guide call in sick, and couldn't run your event. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Refunds can take 3-5 business days, so please be patient.
Sara_P, Nov 2025
Your guide was great! This experience was a mix of food and history in the north end. Anyone looking for something fun to do should sign up for this!
Caryn_L, Nov 2025
Our tour guide was friendly and informative. Pizza at three different stops. All delicious. By the time our cannoli arrived we were full. We will enjoy them soon.
Rodrigo_R, Oct 2025
We took the tour on a crisp October day. We were late and joined the tour in progress. Scottie was personable, knowledgeable and funny. He made the tour a good experience. We had a great time.
Dalibor_D, Oct 2025
This was a terrific tour! Scotty, our tour guide, was knowledgable, funny, and informative, and gave us great ideas for things to do and see after our tour -- and where to find a great steak!
The pizza was delicious -- it's amazing to be able to link the food to the Freedom Trail. Would highly recommend this tour!
Sherryl_S, Oct 2025
Great tour, guide, pizza, and cannoli! Our tour guide Big Al was awesome. The tour was informative on history of the areas we walked.
Kim_R, Oct 2025
This a was fun tour with great food and interesting history and lesser known information about the North End. We were pleasantly by the end of the tour. Scotty took great care of us! There were a lot of options for food tours and we are glad this is the one we went with.
Erika_S, Oct 2025
Scottie made the tour! He was so knowledgeable and personable. We did it with a 9 year old and a 10month old and were nervous but he was very accommodating and made it a breeze. Highly recommend you experience the north end and the freedom trail this way. The food was delicious and made the experience very authentic. 10/10!!
Amy_F, Oct 2025
Alvin “Big Al” was very knowledgeable and had great energy and charisma. He made this tour top-tier!…and the pizza and cannoli were icing on the cake!
Alisa_N, Oct 2025
Big Al is the BEST tour guide!!! He is incredibly personable, tons of fun, passionate, and really knows what he’s talking about.The north end of Boston is incredible, but you are missing out if you don’t see it with Big Al!
Timothy_M, Oct 2025
Scotty was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about Boston and its history, and is a very funny guy. Visited a good amount of places on the freedom tour and the pizzas (& special dessert) were all amazing! Great combination of food and history!
Ellen_F, Oct 2025
Hands down one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Scotty was great: funny, knew his history, and sprinkled in a lot of local stories. He did a great job shepherding our group through North End on a busy Saturday. My 12 year old loved it. The pizza was fantastic!
Mary_D, Oct 2025
We learned a lot, ate some great pizza, and enjoyed our tour guide! Scott has a great sense of humor and knows a lot of great history.
