Wow! Nabil was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Boston's history and the various places we visited. I learned a lot AND had fun doing it. The tour was very interactive and not really a lecture at all. The next day, a couple of us went back to the get more bread because it was life changing. Nabil was patient with the child that was on the tour but kept us moving. We joked quite a bit about whether Philly or Boston could claim Ben Franklin. I would take another tour with Nabil in a heartbeat.

This was a great experience! Not only the tasting part of the tour, but also our guide- Nabil- offered us an unforgettable day.

We had an excellent tour with Nabil. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The places we visited all had a great story and also delicious food. My husband told me that this was his favorite experience with the family in our various travels. Would highly recommend Nabil and this North End food tour. Thank you!

Bob was great! Great balance of food recommendations and sharing his knowledge about the history of the North End. He also shared his personal recos for restaurants to try as we walked through the tour. This was a great way for me to see the North End from a more local perspective and try some places that I haven’t been to before.
