2 Hour North End 'Little Italy' Walking Tour
Overview
Boston’s North End is the city’s oldest residential neighborhood and one of its most vibrant. Over time it transformed into Boston’s beloved “Little Italy,” thanks to Italian immigrants who filled its narrow streets with food, family traditions, and unforgettable flavor.
The best way to experience this historic neighborhood is with your taste buds. On this food tour, you’ll stroll through the North End’s cobblestone streets while sampling local favorites—from rich Italian coffee to piping-hot pizza.
You’ll even take part in Boston’s sweetest rivalry with tastings from Modern Pastry and Mike's Pastry, deciding for yourself who truly serves the best cannoli.
Along the way, you’ll also hear stories of famous residents like Paul Revere and boxing champion Tony DeMarco who once walked these same historic streets.
