Itinerary
Boston’s “North End” aka “Little Italy” is a pocket-sized Italian neighborhood teeming with history and charm. Among the narrow streets, hidden alleyways and park benches you will find The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill and The Old North Church. In the next step you are standing alongside Boston’s organized crime headquarters. Absorbing the history and folklore of the North End cannot be done properly without coupling it with the culinary lining of the neighborhood. As home to over eighty restaurants and countless wine shops, bakeries, and Italian salumerias (a.k.a Italian delis) it is safe to say you won’t leave hungry! On this 3-hour guided walking tour we’ll visit historic sites, hidden gems, unique neighborhood shops, local hangouts all while tasting some of the most delicious Italian food anywhere! Enjoy the history, outrageous stories, and folklore of the North End neighborhood through the eyes of your Politically Incorrect born and raised VERY FUNNY local tour guide Anthony

If you want a real local to give you some history, a little attitude and great food, do this tour. Flash was fabulous and we laughed as much as we ate!!!!
Tony was great. He's like the fun uncle you want to hang out with.
Anthony was gem. He was so knowledgable about the history of the NorthEnd & took us to great places to sample great food! We were stuffed at the end of the tour! Anthony smoked, swore, joked and made the tour a really fun experience. He took pics with us at the end & had us do one w/ us all flipping the bird! Such a hoot! Highly recommend- unless you are easily offended- then avoid this tour.
Flash (Anthony) is a hoot!! Amazing time on this unconventional tour. You will not be disappointed in the local food that he introduces you to on this tour! Skip Breakfast! You don’t need it! Here’s a big Texas Hook ‘em Flash!!
This tour was fantastic. I’ll start with the obvious. The food was amazing. Anthony did a wonderful job getting food to everyone on the tour. If we had more time we would have gone back to all the places he shared with us. A little bonus tidbit. Anthony grew up in the area. He told us what life was like when he was a young boy. He also shared the changes he has seen in the neighborhood over the years. Truly a fabulous experience. I would highly recommend. But beware! Anthony is a very colorful character!!
funny and entertaining. Flash has an amazing personality and is a very fast walker. Make sure you can keep up
By far one of the best experiences we have ever had! Flash is everything you expect and then some. Taking us into alleyways, giving us history of his neighborhood; all while enjoy some good Italian food! Highly recommend his tour to everyone with a sense of humor!
Not what I expected, I didn't read any of the other reviews, BUT we had lot's of fun! Flash is a character! He got to our meeting spot late, smoking a cigarette and cursing. He is also up front if anyone is uncomfortable with him, they could leave and he'd refund their money. SO READ reviews and don't be surprised! We had lots of food to sample, and no one left hungry. We got lots of information about growing up in the North End, and the community that lived there. He is quite the story teller. It was truly a unique and fun experience!
This tour was absolutely fabulous , the food was amazing and Anthony story telling and political incorrectness was on point . We loved it x
Tony is really fun, knowledgeable and no nonsense. I went in there with a couple of teenagers and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
