2 Hour North End 'Little Italy' Walking Tour
Description
Boston’s North End is the city’s oldest residential neighborhood and one of its most vibrant. Over time it transformed into Boston’s beloved “Little Italy,” thanks to Italian immigrants who filled its narrow streets with food, family traditions, and unforgettable flavor. The best way to experience this historic neighborhood is with your taste buds. On this food tour, you’ll stroll through the North End’s cobblestone streets while sampling local favorites—from rich Italian coffee to piping-hot pizza. You’ll even take part in Boston’s sweetest rivalry with tastings from Modern Pastry and Mike's Pastry, deciding for yourself who truly serves the best cannoli. Along the way, you’ll also hear stories of famous residents like Paul Revere and boxing champion Tony DeMarco who once walked these same historic streets.

Mickey did a wonderful job with the history and special North End favorite food stops. He gave many stories that were very interesting I enjoyed finding new restaurants that were tucked away...only Bostonians would know about. Highly recommend this tour.
Andy, amazing. So funny and so knowledgeable. Would never have known about the special spots in the North End without him. Thank you.
We had a great day !! The pizza and cannolis were a big hit . Loved hearing of all the history of the streets and restaurants. The tour guide was funny and knowledgeable.
Andy was a great tour guide that gave some great historical facts. It was a great way to see the sites of the North End as well as get some tips on some great authentic Italian food ! We really enjoyed it, would do it again !
Andy was very knowledgeable and we had some great food stops. It was a great way to see the North End and it was a great way to try some great food!! Very worthwhile. Enjoyed walking around town.
Great tour and very informative!
We had such a great time on the Little Italy North End food tour! Mick truly knew the neighborhood intimately and was able to take us to the best spots! He was engaging and had entertaining and historical stories along the way.
Along with the north end tour my fiance and I also did the true crime tour the night before. Tony was just amazing, he told dad jokes, had a great attitude, was very knowledgeable, and just flat out fun to hang out with! He includes everyone in the group and through the tour talks to everyone which is appreciated being from out of town. If I ever come back to Boston with friends I will definitely book these tours again!!!
Tony did a fabulous job with our tour - family of 6 with 4 adult children (17-22). Our resident foodie was over the moon. Tony did a great job showing us some fantastic food stops and well as weaving in history and culture of the North End. He kept the pace just right so we moved along without feeling rushed. He was super easy to hear even on the crowded streets without having to yell. Loved it and would definitely recommend. My only request is that Tony would post the entire Paul Revere song to YouTube - Gen Xers would love it. Rock on Tony!
Yummy food tour! Tony is a fantastic tour guide!
