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.
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.
We had a great time on the pizza tour in the North End. Big Al was entertaining and passionate about history and pizza. We’re still referencing some of his stories about Paul Revere and the colonists waiting for the British on Bunker Hill. The pizza was also excellent. Reginas was our favorite. The cannoli at Modern Pastry was the perfect end to the tour.
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 great for the whole family. Entertaining and informative.
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.
Was in Boston to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday. This tour is a perfect mix of history/ great food and entertainment. Big Al was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. Tour is appropriate for all ages- while it lasts close to 3 hours - you are not walking or standing for great lengths.
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!
