We were in town for a concert, and my wife booked this tour. We are both foodies (per say) and love a good laugh. This was the tour for us. Flash is an absolute legend. As someone from the south side of Chicago, I loved Flash's style. I have told my friends, family and coworkers about this tour. I recommended it to them, and I recommend it to you! If I'm ever back in Boston, I would do this tour again.

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

The food was great, info was interesting, and Anthony was amazing! Highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to review Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour. Anthony aka Flash
Presented by Dan - I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the tour other than that it’d probably be interesting based solely on the title. However, the title doesn’t do the tour justice; it is a veritable treasure trove of info you be hard-pressed to find on your own. The care Flash takes in crafting the history of the North End into an entertaining account of a Boston long gone is only matched by the care that goes into each dish sampled along the way. If only I could transcribe what this man has to say, I’d have a bestseller on my hands. Book this trip as soon as you find an opening; at the very least, your stomach won’t regret it…
Dan, Thank you for your review. I love introducing people to great food and sharing stories of what it was like growing up in a small Italian neighborhood and how it’s changed over time. Anthony aka Flash Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour
Really enjoyed this walking food tour. Anthony was funny, had great stories and made sure we were fed well. Don’t let the title turn you away. Nothing more than a few “F” bombs. So if you have virgin ears or are offended by that word, probably best you stay home.
Thank you for reviewing Boston North End Food tour. It was a pleasure meeting you and sharing my neighborhood with you. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Best regards Anthony aka Flash Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour
Great fun, great laughs, great food, and a really wonderful way to spend the day!
Thank you for taking the time to review Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Anthony aka Flash
The title is accurate but this was one of the most fun tours I’ve ever done. Slash is authentic and the food is amazing. I highly recommend this tour for adults!
Thanks for the great review of Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour. Glad you had fun Anthony aka Flash
Guide (Tony) a little brash and outspoken, are F bombs really that important? He was pretty rude to the couple that had a baby with them and wouldn’t let them go. We stood for long periods of time which was hard for most of us to do, we were even supposed to enjoy our deli sandwich while standing in an alley!
I think you mean the customers with the baby were rude for ignoring “adults only” and assuming that the rules don’t apply to them. Yes, F bombs are important for people on a walking tour complaining about walking and standing. But thanks for sharing so other people know to read the (insert F-bomb)tour description (and reviews)before booking. Anthony aka Flash Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour
I had so much fun on this tour, Flash is hilarious and is great at what he does!!
Thank you for taking the time to review Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour. I’m glad you had fun Anthony aka Flash
Over 30 people in group. Guide had no microphone. He grew up in the area, what was giving good insider Still, I would not do recommend this tour.
So you liked that I grew up here and was giving good insider info but you gave the tour 1 star because you didn’t like the size of the group? Really?
Best ever tour guide! Loved his knowledge as a local who was born and raised in this historical area! Kept us laughing, stuffed full of food and enthralled in all the “facts” he gave us! Probably the best tour ever!! He swears, he smokes, he is politically incorrect and he is awesome! Missed his calling as a stand up comedian!!
Thanks for the great review. I really enjoy sharing stories about growing up in the North End while guests eat some of the best food the neighborhood has to offer and I smoke cigarettes and flip people off. lol Anthony aka Flash Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food Tour
