Great Tour - Do it or Regret it. - Really enjoyed this tour. Tony was fun, friendly and informative. We took in a number of eateries including Nricco where childhood memories of bread baking and cakes came flooding bake due to the smells. We had pizza which was good but honestly not the best I have ever had. Tony suggested some places to eat and we decided upon La Familia Georgia’s; the home made pasta was delicious. Be warned though the portions are huge - this is America after all. Thanks Tony for a great Tour.

Walking guided tour of Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown - Excellent - Excellent 2 hour tour by host Clare around Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. Myself and my wife were the only clients that morning and I guess the firm could have cancelled the tour but didn't. Which meant we had a more personalised and interactive tour than envisaged. Clare was engaging and showed great knowledge of the area and its history. Highly recommended. As a foot note... when visiting Chinatown, don't be tempted to buy the cut priced, white boxed labeled Apple electronics being sold on mass by the street vendors. They're all fake. Don't waste your hard earned dollars. Spend them on this tour instead

A truly delightful tour! - This tour was so much fun, even as a seasoned visitor to Boston. I feel like I've been telling everyone I know about how much interesting info I learned and have visited several spots in the North End that I discovered on this tour. Tony was an amazing guide and source of knowledge!

A Can't Miss Boston Experience! - We had an amazing time on the North End "Little Italy" walking tour with Tony. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and engaging, sharing the history of the neighborhood, as well as local legends and personal anecdotes. He introduced us to several amazing restaurants/bakeries in the neighborhood where we tried pizza, cannoli, and more! We've been on numerous food tours throughout the US and this was the best one we've been on. Thank you Tony for a great afternoon! We really can't recommend this tour more.

Booking scam - The tour was good. The rating is more for the top dog tours user experience with booking. It was easy to make a mistake and book for regular pass and they have a separate option for go city. I've never had to do something like that before so they charged me for the tour even though they scanned my passes. Im guessing they rely on people with go passes to make that mistake so they get more profit. Its in their policy that they won't return the money if you make the mistake. Be careful booking when you have the city pass.

Tour Guide Failed to Turnup - No one arrived for our booked ticketed tour guide in Boston, which is hugely disappointing. We booked it for my partners 50th birthday events in Boston. Stood in the freezing cold waiting for 25 mins at the meeting point in the freezing cold. We sent messages and never had the decency of a reply. Wouldn’t recommend this company.
