This isn’t a touristy, cookie-cutter tour! Hi there, I’m Bobby Agrippino, I am the owner/tour guide of the North End Boston Food Tour. I grew up on these streets, and I’m going to show you the North End the way we actually live it. You’ll see century-old landmarks, meet longtime family businesses, and enjoy generous tastings from the pastry shops, salumerias, bakeries, and specialty spots I’ve been going to my whole life.
No lines, no tourist traps, no fluff. Just real North End culture, real history, and really good food.
Every portion is included in your ticket, so arrive hungry and ready to explore. Most shops prefer cash, so bring some with you. Tours run rain or shine and sell out quickly, especially weekends.
