  We walked about the historic North End, absorbed the stories and myths, and experienced the legendary pizza tastes only locals know about first-hand. Great experience!

  Pizza and Historic Tavern Tour November 22, 2013

  Very much enjoyed the Boston Pizza and Tavern tour. Our tour guide was excellent!! He was full of knowledge and history as I believe history was his major. He was a perfect fit for this job. It was a beautiful afternoon and i loved walking thru the North End over the bridge to Charlestown. After visiting a local Tavern we headed over to the USS Constitution and then a ferry ride back. Another stop for Pizza and one more tavern stop completed this tour. It was fantastic and we ended our night with a stop at Mike's Pastry!!

  Pizza and Little Italy Tour October 22, 2013

  This is a great tour of the North End. You make three stops along the way and at each stop a slice of pizza awaits. A great way to have lunch. Pizzeria Regina is the best of the three. The others are pretty good too. The tour guide is extremely friendly and informative. Limited to 12 people, the crew stays manageable. We saw Old North Church and the Paul Revere House but also the old grave yard and places like Rose Kennedy's birthplace. A great way to get the lay of the land in the Little Italy section and some local insight on whose cannoli they buy (Modern versus Mike's). Tour is about 2 hours total and I took it two days after dropping a 16 pound bowling ball on my toe, so it is manageable.

  Pizza and Little Italy Tour October 14, 2013

  This was so much fun - we are locals, but have never really walked through the back streets of the North End. Our tour guide, Pat, was super. We saw some less known historical sites (like Rose Kennedy's birthplace); things I would have just walked by if not pointed out to me. The pizza was spaced out perfectly and the restaurant choices were good - with a variety of pizza styles. What a great location too -right next to the Greenway and Quincy Market. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a real taste of Boston's Little Italy!

  Pizza and Historic Tavern Tour October 2, 2013

  The university I work at did this tour as a group of about 25 people. The weather was perfect which really helps on a tour such as this. Our tour guide, Pat, was a historian and he was very knowledgeable and friendly and I learned many things that I had never known about in the history of Charlestown and the North End. It is a lot of walking, but well worth it. We stopped at two different taverns and had 3 different kinds of pizza along the way. We walked from the North End across to the area of TD Garden and over the bridge into Charlestown. The walk brought us to the area of the USS Constitution. There was also a ferry ride which lasted about 20 minutes which brought us back to the area close to where the tour began and we went to another tavern before the tour ended. The tour is well-organized with no glitches. It began at 4:30 and lasted about 3 1/2 hrs. I highly recommend it. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes or sneakers and a jacket as it gets cool on the ferry ride.

  My husband and I were visiting from NY and had originally booked the Historic Tavern and Pizza tour. Unfortunatlly, we hit so much traffic getting into the city that we missed out tour. The service I received on the phone was lovely and we were easily accommodated to switch to another available tour. We really enjoyed every aspect of our tour given by Pat. We learned a great deal of Boston history and had some tasy pizza that even a New York pizza snob could enjoy. I highly reccomend this tour to make your Boston trip a memorable experiance.

  Pizza and Historic Tavern Tour July 24, 2013

  My boyfriend and I have both been living in Boston for a while now but had a great time. We went on the pizza and tavern tour which visited 2 North End pizza joints, 1 charlestown tavern and 1 Boston tavern. It was a good mix of sightseeing, food, beer and history. Our tour guide Scott was knowledgeable and chill. We will recommend to Boston based friends and visitors alike!

  My friends and I decided to take the Pizza and Tavern Tour with Pat on a Friday afternoon. He was very knowledgeable of the area and kept the tour moving at a good pace. We tried three pizzas which helped keep the tour interesting and fun. Pat was very friendly and was able to give recommendations after the tour. It was a great way to spend a sunny day!

  We started off our day meeting our tour guide, Martin. I found him to be very personable, knowledgeable and excited about the tour he was about to take us on. We took the 'Pizza & Little Italy Tour'. This walking tour took us through the North End where we sampled pizza from three very good establishments. Each was piping hot and delicious. Martin timed the tour so that the pizza was ready and waiting for us at each stop. To my delight, the tour was so much more than I thought it would be. It was very informative, interesting and thorough. I learned things about the North End and vicinity that I never knew, and I was born and raised in Boston! This is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon and I highly recommend it!

  What a fun thing to do in Boston! My husband and I are local (as in metro west, but not originally from here) and we did the Pizza & Historic Tavern tour as a "date night." It's a great, unique way to see the North End/Charlestown and learn something in the process. Martin is awesome; everything ran smoothly from picking up our first pie at Regina's to getting on the ferry in time before embarking. A few slices of great pizza, a couple of brews, some history lessons, and lots of socializing with the other "tourists." Good for locals and tourists alike!! Don't miss it!!

  Even though we live in the city, we love doing walking tours and this one was so much fun. Our guide Martin was knowledgeable and patient and had lots of interesting anecdotes (gossip!) to share about the places we visited. Everything was great and our out-of-town guest really enjoyed it too. My favorite part was the boat ride back from Charlestown to Long Wharf at sunset, getting to see my city at it's finest.
