Take a Bite of These Awesome Reviews!

My family and I absolutely LOVED the pizza tour! Martin was extremely charismatic and an absolute delight to be around. His historical knowledge was enlightening and the pizza shops we stopped to were fantastic! My family and I will definitely book this tour (Or his new seafood tour!) in June 2021!

Martin just knocked it out of the park! He was awesome at communicating with me (I was a little late) and responded to me right away. We visited three pizzerias and walked around Boston’s north end. The only downside to our tour was the rain, it poured the entire time but we made the best of it! Martin was able to secure our seating inside and brought the pizza right out. The amount of food was definitely worth the cost of the ticket, you will get several full slices of pizza and a giant cannoli.

We booked a private tour with Martin on a Sunday afternoon in early October and it was AMAZING! Despite living in the Boston area for our whole lives, we were surprised with how much we learned about the history of the North End and Charlestown area. The pizza and cannoli were to die for. Martin was extremely accommodating and made us all feel very comfortable throughout our tour. We had so much fun! Would highly recommend!

We were looking for a tour of the amazing northend that would convince our 9 year old the walking was worth it and pizza did it! It's a beautiful walk around the historic northend. The pride in the neighborhood from our tour guide was fantastic. It hit some of the freedom trail spots but not so much "history" that kids get bored- just enough to learn something! And the pizza is amazing! And the owners interact with you as well- very friendly! These slices are not sample size either- you will be full when it is finished.

The tour was great! Best clam chowder I've ever tasted, and some good info sprinkled in along the way!! Very good experience.

This is such a great tour. An awesome way to learn about Boston and see some great and historical sites while also enjoying some amazing food. I will definitely tour with this company again!

A beautiful day with so much great history and new-found friends. Martin is absolutely fabulous and kind and easygoing, full of stories and so much knowledge. A must do Tour!

Fantastic Tour with wonderful history, enjoyable ferry ride and FANTASTIC tavern visits with local beers and cider with delicious appetizers. Cannoli was the cherry on top!

What a wonderful experience!! Scotty, our guide, was so friendly and informative. We just had the best time!! We went on several guided tours and out of all of them this was our favorite!! We would recommend it to everyone!!

Awesome tour! Very informative and amazing food. Highly recommend

Traveler Reviews

Was on a spur of the moment solo trip to Boston. This tour was worth every penny and more. The pizza was out of this world at each location and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.

A great history lesson while eating three different pizzas in three different parts on the walking tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun.

Boston's North End & Pizza Tour was great. Scotty was our guide; so informative and funny. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Kira was fantastic. Her history background and ability to answer of the cuff questions we had made our tour. We enjoyed trying the different styles of pizza as well.

Tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable about Boston's history. The walking was pretty easy. Learned lots and most importantly, got stuffed on yummy pizza! It brings you to some great places you would not think of.

The guide was funny and entertaining and we stopped at spots I wouldn’t have noticed just walking around on my own. Fun evening!

We loved seeing Bostons history through a native’s eyes. We could tell he loves this city and have good stories to tell!

Such a fun way to see Boston and hear interesting and entertaining facts. Scotty was an awesome guide!

Our tour guide was fun and the pizza was great! Best way to experience the North End of Boston. It was nice the tour was limited to only 10 people. We all got to know each other and made new friends.

Pizza was really good and our guide Tim had interesting facts and information about the North end area. It was a perfect amount of time and a nice intimate experience.

North End (Little Italy) Neighborhood Tour

Boston’s Little Italy Food Tour

Experience the vibrant and flavorful North End neighborhood on our guided food tour. As you join us, we’ll welcome you with a warm “Buongiorno”, or “Ciao” and, perhaps, an authentic Italian gesture to start the day.

Our first stop will be to one of three award-winning pizzerias, either a James Beard Award winner, or one of two Best of Boston winners, one of which has been recognized by TripAdvisor as the best pizza-maker in the country! You’ll get to indulge in the delicious flavors of these acclaimed eateries, setting the tone for the rest of the tour.

Next, we’ll take you to a hidden gem, a three-time Best of Boston Bread Bakery, and a salumeria and pasta shop featured on the Food Network’s “Best Thing That I Ever Ate”. You’ll sample the best-selling Italian bread, balsamic vinegars, and house-made mozzarella, and you’ll learn about the history behind these local establishments.

As we continue to explore the neighborhood, we’ll introduce you to three popular eateries that you might want to come back to later. One has been featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives”, and another has been ranked as one of the top restaurants in the country by the New York Times.

The best coffee in the North End

While it’s closed on Sundays, the remainder of the week, we’ll also stop at our favorite old-school coffee shop, where you can enjoy their famous house-made lemon slush during summer months, or a cup of the best espresso our guests say they’ve ever tasted. Before heading to our next destination, we’ll stop at a long line for the Best of Boston Sandwich, a mouth-watering Italian sub that will leave a lasting impression.

After a bit more sightseeing, including a quick stop at Paul Revere’s House, we’ll finish our tour at a small, family-owned restaurant that’s a favorite of locals and Hollywood alike. You’ll savor a delicious pasta course with one of Mama Connie’s famous meatballs, followed by a classic cannoli to round off the perfect North End experience.

Join us for an unforgettable culinary adventure in the heart of Boston’s historic North End!
