Fun and informative overview of some of Boston’s historic spots coupled with pizza tastings. Scottie was blunt, pragmatic with a smile and a good storyteller. Our whole family enjoyed it (including 14 and 11 year olds). Thank you.
Scotty was our tour guide and he did a great job. It was a busy Sat. In the North End and he was able to navigate through the crowds and manage seats in the small restaurants for all of us. He was very friendly, and was a wealth of information telling many stories of the history of Boston., doing it with a smile and making the tour fun, engaging the whole group in conversation. Highly recommend the tour and Scotty and of course the pizza was great as well as the yummy cannoli!!Thanks Scotty for a fun filled day!
Scotty was fun and informative. It was a great tour with loads of pizza! We would do this tour again.
Tour was fantastic. Great way to get some history and eat some good pizza. Big Al is amazing and made the tour!
I really loved our tour guide, Scotty! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire tour so much fun!
Be ready for a lot of walking before you book. Other than that, I highly recommend!
We had such an amazing time on our history tour! It also happened to have yummy pizza and a delish cannoli. This tour with Big Al is a must-do if you are in Boston! He was friendly and so so knowledgeable about Boston history. Definitely would recommend!!!
Scotty was a great guide, the pace was easy and the pizza delicious. A great way to combine a food tour with a little history.
It’s not just pizza, it’s history and authenticity Boston in tone. In short this tour is wicked pissah
Fabulous walking tour! Just enough of a history lesson and pizza was amazing! Scotty was a great guide!!!
We had a great time on the Freedom Trail Pizza Tour! The three pizza slices were all delicious and offered a fun variety, and the tour itself was a perfect mix of Boston history and great food. Margot was an excellent host—knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston!
This was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken! Dan was funny, informative, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. The pizza was delicious, and the meeting instructions were clear and easy to follow. Five stars all the way - this is a must-do when visiting Boston!
All 3 Pizza places were awesome. We would go back to any one of them. Tour guide was excellent and really gave us lots of Boston history
Never got a refund even though they cancelled. Texted them multiple times. Go with a more honest tour company.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Carmela - you have indeed been REFUNDED IN FULL for the canceled tour. You texted us multiple times (at least that much is true) and we always texted you right back. Next time, simply check your Viator app for a refund confirmation before butchering a small business with nasty reviews. Have a lovely day.
Amazing pizza along with interesting Boston history. Scotty kept the tour moving and kept us laughing.
Although this is a rather lengthy walking tour, it is very easy to do. I am a senior citizen with a neurological condition that affects my ability to walk and I could still easily complete the tour. We stopped at many historic sites and our tour guide, Scotty, was very knowledgeable about each place. The walking pace was also very comfortable. And the pizza was delicious!
Big Al was fantastic! Very energetic and personable. We were able to see some great views of the city and try some amazing pizza. I highly recommend this tour!
Amazing experience, amazing guide I would recommend it to anybody. The host is knowledgeable and funny and totally Boston.
This was such a fun and smooth experience! I came to Boston solo for a weekend getaway. I wanted to do something unique along with some sightseeing/learning about the city. What better idea than to mix learning with some of the best pizza you’ll ever have!!!
Scotty as a tour guide was amazing - fun, friendly and personable, knowledgeable, and welcoming of all questions. He pointed out a lot of cool facts, I feel I left smarter.
It was easy to locate the starting point (Modern Bakery Underground bar) - I received a call from our tour guide to make sure I reached. We started the tour with the plan overview, it was a well organized 2-3 hours.
This tour is so worth it, especially if you are short on time. I would definitely do another tour with this company again and will recommend to my friends. Hope you enjoy this food & history tour at Boston too!
A fantastic tour with Scotty giving us all the history and background of north end. Scotty is very informative, funny and kept us engaged the entire time. We learned a lot even if we are locals. Food was great! There are 3 pizza stops the last one - modern pastry not our favourite.
Come hungry! Aside from great food, this was a great tour. Our guide Scott gave us a lot of historical insights.
Scotty was very informative and funny! Great North End history tour, Pizza tasting, and definitely the best Cannoli too!
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
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 😂
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!
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.
“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!
Big Al was not only knowledgeable about Boston History and current happenings, he was veet entertaining. Hubby and I enjoyed the tour very much.
Big Al was the best! Very knowledgeable and a great personality. The pizza was delicious as all the locals confirmed he was taking us to the best places.
Amazing experience and money well spent. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable and made the entire experience enjoyable. Highly recommend!
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.
