We did the Pizza & North... - We did the Pizza & North End tour with our three teenage boys, and it was fantastic. Scotty struck the perfect balance of walking, history, and food, which kept everyone engaged and happy (no small feat with teens!). The pizza stops were delicious, the history was interesting without being overwhelming, and the pace was just right. The pizza stops also gave us a chance to warm up. We highly recommend this tour for families, especially with older kids.

Great historical tour of Boston's North End with delicious food! - This tour was wonderful. I went with my family of 6 and we all loved it. We started at a delicious cannoli place and also stopped at 3 pizza places in the North End and had a slice of pizza at each. Each one was different and delicious. Scotty was the tour guide and he was great. Very entertaining and great stories and information about the North End. This is our favorite section of Boston and we enjoyed the tour and all the food. We were stuffed and happy! Take this tour...you won't regret it!

If you’re looking for a good food tour, this is it. - Big Al is the absolute best. Everything he does is for your benefit. Loved him so much it’s not even funny! The pizza was soooo good and I would’ve never gone to these places in my own.

Fun tour - This tour takes you on the journey of the freedom trail, around the north end. Our tour guide was Scottie. He was really friendly and knowledgeable and fun to be around. We popped into three pizza places that I would never have dreamt of visiting. And a gorgeous bakery. This is a fun way to see a little part of Boston when you dont have much time. I highly recommend it.
