Overview

Recognized by Yelp as Massachusetts #1 food tour in 2025!

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 arguably the country's #1 pizza, a Best of Boston-winning Italian sub like no other, an award-winning, Time magazine-featured pasta, and an iconic cannoli, our goal is tell the WHOLE story of this historic neighborhood, with topics ranging from history to movies to crime! And, as we venture off-the-beaten path, we include the neighbors, who share their own experiences.

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?

Have we convinced you to join us yet? We hope so!
