Very good tour but needs more food components
Chris_M
, Jun 2022
We just had the tour with Tim in June and had a really good time! He was so knowledgeable and shared a different perspective on the history which was very much appreciated. A couple of critiques I would share are this tour combines a separate food AND history tour and it was not clear that was the case from the tour description. You do a 1.5-2 hour food tour and then the rest is the history tour. To make this tour better I would add 2 more small food stops and shorten the overall tour by an hour. A 5 hr tour was just a little too long for us at least. If you do do this tour be prepared to be out and about for a long time!

Dillon and Adam were very knowledgeable and fun to be with…which is vitally important for a tour of this length. However, it did not feel 5 hours. Loved the combo of the North End with the Freedom Trail. The entire family loved the experience and came away learning so much about this wonderful city.

Fantastic tour guide with both great knowledge and fun personality. The tour is long but definitely worth it. It would have been good to split up the food stops; however, understand it's done that way to provide food on North End tour for first half and more history for the second half. Appreciated the food stops were not necessarily the tourist must go places but more authentic food to Bostonians. Enjoyed the tour very much!

Outstanding. Our tour guide was Dillon, who did an incredible job leading us through the North End and many historical sites. We enjoyed every minute, except having to say goodbye. The food is plentiful and not sample sizes as we had thought. This was our favorite tour in during our stay. Thank you Dillon!
