Anthony the guide, is definitely a no-nonsense local. Don't expect the typical politically correct tour/guide so if you're easily offended, you should consider a different tour. Be aware he does arrive a few minutes late & that's part of the experience. Food is good but if you take the tour on a Sunday, be aware that some places may be closed so there could be a substitue.

Wonderful time! Great way to see hidden gems you wouldn’t be able to find on your own. Anthony is a legend around North End and is very kind. Just a warning though he will show up a bit late! It’s just his thing lol great experience! 10/10

It was a perfectly nice way to spend the afternoon on a crisp cold winter's day during our trip! Not as much food as expected, but very fun! Met some lovely people in the group.

Incredibly overrated. The weather was very cold, but even if the weather was great, I don't understand why a food tour doesn't talk much at all about food. We had tens of minutes spent on how great it is to be politically incorrect (I don't mind anti-wokiness, but that shouldn't be the point of a food tour), tens of minutes on the price of housing, then tens of minutes on mobster history (that was actually better than other lectures, but still not really relevant to a food tour). At that point I started hanging out in bathrooms rather than freezing outside talking about whatever. There have to be better food tours that focus on, you know, local food.
