Overview

Recognized by Yelp as Massachusetts' #1 food tour in 2025! Small, intimate tours. Why book Boston Foodie Tours' North End Neighborhood Tour? Just ask recent guests! "BEST food tour EVER" and "ahhhhhmazing", they've said. Our multi-award-winning tours are designed from the perspective of our owner, an Italian-American, native Bostonian who is a culinary school alum. Our focus on award-winning best eats is just the beginning. In between bites of a top 100 U.S. award-winning pizza, and a Time magazine-featured pasta, and a few belly laughs, our goal is tell the WHOLE story of this iconic neighborhood, with an oral history that you can't Google, and an introduction to the colorful old-time locals, whom, we're sure, will make a lasting impression. Oh, and did we mention the three-time Best of Boston-winning bread bakery, the the Food Network, "Best Thing that I Ever Ate"-featured salumeria, or the iconic cannoli? Have we convinced you to join us yet? We hope so!
