The tour itself was very good. Tyler, the guide was full of information and interesting facts. The food was amazing though disappointing that only 4 stops, compared to food tours in other cities, where there is about 7. Although we enjoyed the tour, I don't think it is worth the money.

I did the North End food tour with Will and it was great! A very well balance between historical and food facts, and everything we tried was delicious (I will be back to some of those for sure). The places we went were hidden gems that you would probably never found by yourself. Will was very knowledgeable about the area and had a lot of stories to keep us entertained while we wander around the North End. I highly recommend this tour, and if I ever return to Boston I will certainly take it again!
