Amazing Experience - I gift my husband a 1-2 day getaway (in New England) over the holidays each year. This year we ended up in Boston (again) and I was initially uninspired but this tour SAVED the day! Despite the bitter cold Audrey provided an AMAZING experience. We have been on many food tours throughout the country and this was the BEST one - a completely unexpected surprise. We can’t put our finger on it- but some amalgamation of Audrey’s relationship with the neighborhood, interesting stories, food history, variety of seemingly “hidden” stops and DELICIOUS food made it magic! Thank you Audrey!

Best food, best tour guide - What a fun tour! Delicious food and more than enough to eat. Audrey is an amazing tour guide and really knows the neighborhood and people well. Great way to start our Boston trip and immerse ourselves with the locals. Thank you, Audrey for a truly memorable experience!

Don’t miss this opportunity! - Our guide, Audrey, was absolutely delightful!! She educated us about the North End neighborhood, giving us insights into the history and families. And, we enjoyed so many wonderful tastings, from pizza to desserts to limoncello. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour.

We highly recommend this... - We highly recommend this tour. New to the North End, we wouldn’t ever have been able to taste and sample all the goodies that we did under Audrey’s expert guidance! By the end, we felt like old friends. 5 stars for sure!

SO MUCH FOOD! - So much great food and history! Audrey was amazing. Everyone knew her and she made us feel like we were part of the North End family. I 100% would pass this on to others (and I have!).

Totally Worth It - Oh my gosh, Audrey was such a delight as our tour guide! She guided us around the North End and Boston Market areas. We tried a variety of foods and style (basement panaderías, patios, cash only pizza, market donuts, nuts, etc). It was also really neat to learn about the family and restaurant culture behind the food and restaurants.

One of the best! - Audrey was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed all of the tasty delights and knowledge she shared with us. We left completely stuffed and happy. Definitely do this tour at the beginning of your trip to take advantage of the local places and hidden gems you’ll want to return to! Thank you Audrey! See you next time 😊

Great food tour in Boston! - The Boston Foodie Tour was fantastic! Audrey was an incredible guide. (She seems to know every person in every restaurant in Boston!) The food was delicious, and Audrey provided color and context and historical background for each place we visited. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. I highly recommend this tour!

Lovely tour - Audrey was lovely and took us on a tour of the Little Italy area and a few parts of the North end. We came hungry and had some very nice dishes. We started with fabulous cannolis and ended with clam chowder. The tour inspired us to come back to the Little Italy area for dinner the next night and we were not disappointed. The tour took about 3.5 hours. It was very hot when we were there and Audrey was very aware of staying out of the sun. Bottom line, I’d go again!

10 “Baby Toes” Review for the Win!!! - What a wonderful tour provided by a truly wonderful person. Audrey, the founder, delighted us with an amazing tour filled with Italian treats and modern culinary options courtesy of the public market. We started with creamy cannolis, moved to savory Sicilian style pizza, then a surprising Italian lemon slush, followed by decadent gelato, fresh bread and mozzarella, flavorful nuts, and the ultimate Boston tradition of clam chowder. She gave us a thorough explanation of the history of the North End and the hopes for it in the future. So glad we chose this tour because we got a local’s perspective!
