5.00We spent a day with Audrey on her Sip, Savor and Shop food tour in the North End of Boston and it was fantastic. Audrey is funny, knowledgeable and well-loved by the North End businesses/restaurants we visited. We were made to feel welcome and the food was incredible! A great way to spend a day with friends or family! I would ablsolutely do an other tour with Audrey! She is a warm-hearted and hospitable tour guide for sure!
Total blast on a Girls Day Out!

5.00My friends and I had a total blast with Audrey on her 'Sip, Savor and Shop' tour! All the food we had was amazing and it was fun to be introduced to many of the great shops in the North End. Audrey is a true treasure of knowledge about food, the North End, empowering women and having fun!! You won't regret spending time with and learning from Audrey!
Audrey is a gem who shows you the gems of the North End.

5.00We had the pleasure of exploring the North End with the fabulous Audrey yesterday. Audrey truly cares about the community, small businesses, and humans that keep the neighborhood humming - and you can tell how much the neighborhood loves her back. As new Boston residents, this tour was a perfect way to discover things we wouldn’t have on our own. From the extensive history and stories behind who runs these family businesses, to trying the most delicious eats (do come hungry!), and the serendipitous moments in between, I could not recommend a tour with Audrey enough. Ten minutes in, my face already hurt from smiling so much. If you want to tour a special neighborhood with a truly special person, Audrey is your gal.
North End Must-do Experience!

5.00This is the second North End foodie tour we did with Audrey. We are a family of 6, including two teenagers, and everyone loved it! We did it Dec 23 - Audrey showed up in full Mrs. Claus attire with Christmas bells. The neighborhood was festive to begin with, but everywhere we went every shopowner/worker lit up when they saw Audrey. This tour is so successful and fun because of the relationships Audrey has built over the years. Her stories, institutional knowledge of everything North End and, of course, the fab food stops make it a must-do experience. The day will be a treasured memory for our family.

5.00From the very beginning, this tour did not disappoint. When booking the reservation, I needed a little flexibility in time and Viator and Audrey were helpful, prompt, and accommodating. Audrey was so much fun and so knowledgeable, the food delicious, and the North End beautiful and charming. Ending with a full sit down dinner was the perfect end to the tour. We went to Caffe Victoria for cappuccinos, espressos, pasteries, and affogato after the tour. I highly recommend this. Bring cash with you! Many establishments in the North End only accept cash as payment. While the tour is paid for in advance, you may want to make purchases before, after, or along the way.
Top Boston Experience!

5.00This was so much better than expected. The great food was certainly amazing, but the fantastic experience provided by Audrey with the background and stories and history and inside look at the neighborhood was fantastic. I cannot imagine a better choice for a Boston foodie tour!!
