We loved this tour! Pat was a fantastic guide and took us to really cool places we would never have seen otherwise. The cocktails were all delicious, and bonus my husband wasn’t drinking this trip so he had a mocktail at every stop! Thanks Pat for doing that! The desserts were also amazing. What a great way to spend time in the North End.

Pat was amazing an amazing tour guide and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the north end! It is a perfect tour for those visiting or those who have grown up here. Plus, who doesn’t love a classic Italian pastry!

Loved this tour! So much fun! Pat the tour guide was funny, knowledgeable and very intent on making sure everyone was fully satisfied! Enjoyed getting to know the other couples on the tour and especially enjoyed learning all about Little Italy! This was one of the best parts of our visit to Boston, and I highly recommend!

Pat was amazing! He took us to great locations. The cocktails were full size and all the bartenders made our group feel welcome! The deserts were delicious!
One of the most fun adventures we have taken so far.

This tour doesn't skimp on the cocktails OR cannolis! Pat made the tour engaging and fun, giving you context of the neighborhood, taking you to some known and lesser known spots to round out your Boston visit. Would go again!

Highly recommend! The cocktail’s and desserts were great and we found a few spots we wouldn’t have on our own. We will definitely be back.

Pat was a great tour guide, in a group of 12 we were able to hear him speak whether you were in the front of the group or the back. He is very accommodating should you not like the drinks offered (Espresso, Almond Joy, Lemon Drop Martini’s). We don’t drink coffee and didn’t love the creamy drinks, but Pat offered a replacement, which he didn’t have to do! Pat also offered restaurant recommendations and places to go, hidden gems if like, while we visit Boston.

This experience was great !! Pat took us to cool bars with great drinks and showed us some great historical stops and of course some great desserts !!
Must do while in Boston !! Great way to start your evening !!

We’re from Boston and I thought this would still be a cool thing to check out. We’d probably go to all the places we normally do, but hey it’ll still be fun. We found so many new places we didn’t even know existed and Pat was a fantastic guide. If you get the chance to go, GO!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful and so personable. Loved her!! Would ask for her again and would do this tour again next trip.

We had a great experience. Even though we’ve been to the North End a lot during our lives we learned a ton and found new spots. Guys had a lot of knowledge and great sense of humor. Made for a fun experience for all.

Tons of fun with tasty drinks and cannoli's. Lots of history and lots of laughs. Deuce (Pat #2) was our guide and he was awesome.

Our group had the luck & pleasure of the expertise of lovely, entertaining & intelligent Gabrielle(a). She was witty & truly a great tour guide. This tour gives you an unexpected informative tour with features of the Northend few of us probably know. It was a marvelous take and thats all I'm going to say.

FANTASTIC! Exceeded expectations! Pat is full of information and made the tour so fun! You cannot go wrong with this one!

This Tour was so much fun! I am actually a local and my husband and I decided to bring some friends from out of town to experience the North End. It was great skipping all of the lines we would usually have to wait on to try the desserts and the guides were great! It was a good balance of walking and eating as well, I would definitely recommend this tour!
