We had a fantastic time! Nabil was excellent. A perfect blend between local cuisine and history! We would highly recommend the tour!
Excellent tour with Nabil!! I decided to take this tour as a local and I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it . Great knowledge, food, and recommendations. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Nabil was a very informative guide taking us to North End Gems. Bread, balsamic vinegar, Deli sub, pizza, cappuccino and candles mixed in with great stories in history.
Great tour! Nabil was outstanding. Five stars.
Nabil was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and funny, and he clearly loves little Italy and the people who live there. The food was also so good, and we loved going to all of the local places. Strongly recommend the tour, and especially Nabil.
Adam Klein was phenomenal. This was our first time in Boston, and he was an excellent guide. Loved his honesty, wit, and style of presenting. You can tell he is a teacher. He made the entire group of 14 feel welcomed and entertained. The food was not quite as good as we had hoped. The bread needed olive oil, and the pizza was just OK. The sandwich from the Italian salumeria and cannolli were both very good. All in all, the price was fair, and it was a good way to start our Boston trip. Again, Adam was great!
This was a great tour. Our guide Adam, was great. He was knowledgeable and funny. We would absolutely do this tour again.
Our Little Italy tour with Lexie was so much fun!! It felt like we were meeting up with an old friend and she was showing us around with great history and fun facts mixed in. My favorite part was trying the balsamic vinegar from a tasting spoon in a charming little Italian store. Had such a great morning with Lexie!
Highly recommend this tour with Lexie!! She is welcoming, fun, and extremely knowledgeable about all things Boston! Each of the food stops were delicious - we were very happy with the mix of walking & food. Lexie's stories were very engaging, it made for a great day in the North End!
This tour is a no brainer if you like to eat and have some time to kill in Boston! Our guide, Nadil (smart, knowledgeable and very funny) took us to some phenomenal food spots that only the locals in the north end know about. We’d stop and eat somewhere fun (without waiting on any lines) and then visit a historic site just to give our stomachs a brief reprieve. What a fun way to spend half a day! Fair warning: DO NOT EAT BREAKFAST BEFORE THE TOUR!!! Seriously, you need to do this.
