The tour was wonderful! Bob took us through a neighborhood that was clearly "his" in the very bet of ways. When a guide gets "hello's" from folks on the street and warm smiles and waves, you know he is 'home'. He was great and I will recommend him and Intrepid often!

Nabil was great! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and passionate about the neighborhood. We went to what seemed the best and genuinely local spots, and he navigated all the logistics beautifully. Easy morning of following along, learning and eating, and meeting like-minded people. Plenty of food and a nice mix of selections!

The North End Food tour was so fun! Our tour guide, Bob, was spot-on, giving us neighborhood background, history, and development plus great food stops and other recommendations. He took us to an out -of - the-way bakery and some of the less touristed but delicious places. It was cold but he had us inside enough so it didn't matter, including a well time bathroom stop. We really got a sense of this historic vibrant, wonderful Italian area and the people who lived and live there. And did I mention the food was delicious? I went back to the Italian grocery and brought some goodies home.

We toured the North End with our exceptional guide, Nabil, to sample delicious local foods and visit several historic colonial sites. It was an outstanding tour, thanks to Nabil's deep knowledge of the area, his enthusiasm and evident love of North End foods and culture as well as Boston history. Thanks to Nabil's knowledge and charm, the tour could not have been better. This wonderful tour was well worth the cost and a fun, fascinating and memorable experience.
