Boston's North End Walking Food Tour

It was great weather, we tasted yummy food, and the tour was very insightful in terms of the history of Boston and the at the places we stopped to try foods. Bob was nice and he was funny. The cannolis were really the best! Although I did not receive an email with the list of places we went, which I was told I would get. Overall it was a really nice experience and I would recommend to any one who is interested in food and a side of history.

Great tour
