Discover Boston’s famous North End, where Italian tradition meets New England seafood, on our Secret Food Tour. Over 3 delicious hours, our local guide will lead you through cobblestone streets as you explore the city’s rich 400-year history while tasting its most iconic dishes. Enjoy a comforting cup of New England Clam Chowder, a pastrami sandwich, authentic Italian Brick Oven Pizza, a sweet Mini Cannoli, a refreshing Lemon Slush, and more. In total, you’ll experience 6+ tastings, including Our Delicious Secret Dish, revealed only on the tour. Along the way, we’ll share stories of Boston’s past, from Puritan settlers to the modern-day city, making each stop both flavorful and unforgettable. Whether you’re a foodie, history lover, or simply craving the best bites in Boston, this tour blends culture, flavor, and local charm into one memorable experience.
We'll explore high-quality artisan and ethnic products, along with freshly-prepared foods from independent merchants at the Boston Public Market.
Hanover Street, once a Native American path, now a vital Boston thoroughfare, renamed in 1708 after the House of Hanover, hosts Little Italy's Italian culture and played a role in the American Revolution, featuring landmarks like St. Stephen’s Church and the Concert Hall.
A historical plaque at 256 Hanover Street in Boston's North End commemorates the trial and execution of Italian anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti on August 23, 1972
We'll take a moment to eat at this spot full of history. North Square has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1961, greeting visitors to the North End with historic charm.
Built in 1680, it is downtown Boston’s oldest building and one of the few remaining 17th-century dwellings in a large urban area in the United States.

Elizabeth made it a fun tour for us. She’s very knowledgable and gave us many tips on her favorite restaurants and places to check out. All the food served to our group were great. The biggest complaint is not “not having enough”, but “having too much”. By the time we get to the Cannoli place, everyone is stuffed. I highly recommend this tour with Elizabeth..
