HI, my name is Anthony and yes – I am Italian, born and raised in Boston’s North End. Out of the many food tours about 20 of them, with no exaggeration there are only 2 of us tour guides that were born and raised here .On this 3-hour guided walking tour we’ll visit historic sites, hidden gems, unique neighborhood shops, local hangouts all while tasting some of the most delicious Italian food anywhere! I will take you to the local spots that tourist don't even know they exist.
But as the title suggests this is not your typical North End Food Tour and thank God for that. Being Boston’s “Politically Incorrect” North End Food tour , you will get the information about Little Italy with no BS from a true local who was born and raised here, not from some transplant who isn’t even Italian that read some stuff in a book and wants to tell you about it. I can guarantee you will laugh a lot and eat a lot of good food. So, come hungry!! Bring some Bail Money just in case we get arrested.lol

This was an amazing experience for my family, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Our tour guide, Anthony, was a great balance of funny and informational telling accurate stories of some of the mom and pop history of this area. This is a “politically incorrect” food tour but there was nothing that came close to offended us at all! He was just that funny! There are three food stops and 2 dessert stops so come very hungry because the food was delicious and filling and it’s all included in the tour at no extra cost! It is a lot of walking with occasional sitting so be prepared. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy some of the hidden gems of this area, wants to know history, and wants a good laugh! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

If you're looking for a tour guide that's rude, profane, late and talks constantly about themselves, this tour is a must. Some people describe it as 'local color'; others as unprofessional and humorless. Take your pick. You'll visit some interesting 'old school' spots to sample a bit of authentic North End flavors. You also get to bypass the long lines of fellow tourists in some places. You also will get "Flash's" family's financial history, a 20 minute recounting of the life of Whitey Bulger while standing under a scaffolding and blocking a sidewalk and you'll learn how Viator is a cheat and an organization you should not do business with because 'they're like the mob'. Different strokes for different folks. Happily this tour guide loves bad reviews !

There is no substitute for a tour guide that lived through the history that he is giving a tour of. Anthony told us such interesting stories and made it funny and educational! The food was fantastic and we were absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour.
