This is a great tour, mix of history and food. Lots of funny stories and anecdotes. Our guide was Jack and he was the best. So funny and knowledgeable.

I didn’t realize it was an “express” tour, felt kind of rushed. The food was delicious and loved the donut.

Reading this was such a nice moment for our team. We’re pleased the walk left you with good memories and an experience worth talking about afterward. Hope to see you again through Secret Food Tours!
AK was so much fun and showed us around a small sampling of the North End. I also really appreciated her recommendations for where to go after and complete a few more spots for Arancini. The group size was small and friendly with 4 people and it made the time just fly by.
