Your tour will begin at the Boston Harbor with a walk through a scenic waterfront park with amazing views. Then, you'll make your way to the heart of the North End. Your guide will introduce you to a small, hidden Italian bakery serving up fresh bread daily.

A proper Italian salumeria is next, where you’ll have a chance to enjoy some Italian meats and cheeses. Next up, you'll get to take a break in Hanover Street at a traditional Italian café. As you let the caffeine kick in, your guide will take you back in time into North End history with stories about some of the most influential events that happened in Boston.

You'll then head to the Old North Church, where you may get to step inside for a quick visit. Last but not least, it's time for a taste of pizza and some samples of the best Italian pastries.
