Did this tour last summer, and forgot this review.  Came across this tour by accident and thought it looked interesting. Ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The host, Anthony is a gem! Knows the area (he was raised there) and is a great story teller and funny! Make sure you read what the tour is and is about, as I don't think this is for everyone. It is politically incorrect and some of the content my rub some the wrong way. And DO NOT eat before you go. The food stops are fantastic and the portions are nice sized considering the number of stops. If you enjoy, good food, good stories, and politically incorrect humor, this is for you. Thanks for a great time, Anthony.

Had a wonderful time with Anthony/Flash as our tour guide, a true local to North End Boston. Hearing stories from someone who lived through the growth and transformation of North End was unique and interesting, to say the least.

Like others have mentioned, go into this with an empty stomach as you will be filled with great food from local spots with storied histories. The arancini and affogato were my personal favorites from the tour.

Highly recommended food tour for Bostonians and tourists alike.

This was a fantastic tour given by Anthony. I loved the fact that Anthony was born here and grew up here. He shared some great personal stories of growing up, as well as some of the history of the area and the changes that took place over time.

I can't stress this enough...please don't eat much before this tour! I consider myself a good eater and by the time we finished, I was stuffed like a Manicotti!

Just relax, have fun and enjoy this unique opportunity to take in the North End and all the flavors: the interesting styles of the older buildings, the heavenly smells of Parmesan and Romano cheese from Umberto's, the silkiness of gelato mixed with espresso, and the warm personalities of the residents. Thank you Anthony!

My husband and I did the tour a few days ago and we are still talking about the lemon ice, Italian sub, and pizza. Anthony was a fantastic tour guide with so many great stories about growing up in the North End and the people there. He's quite a character, a little crude, but also hilarious, and you can tell he loves the neighborhood and the food. There were 25 people on our tour, which we feared would be too big, but Anthony managed it well, calling ahead to our next stop to inform them of the size of the group and what he wanted. Some of the stops were short and we ate outside on the sidewalk or in a park, while others were longer and allowed some time to sit, enjoy a glass of wine, and get to know our fellow tour-goers. Overall, we thought it was very well paced and planned, and made for a very entertaining and enjoyable afternoon. Thanks for showing us around, Anthony!

My friend and I were visiting from Minnesota and took Anthony's Politically Incorrect tour. We had such a blast! Anthony is very charismatic (he may not like that word) and knowledgeable. We loved all of his stories. He really is a local and well connected with the community. That is easy to see. The food was all delicious and perfectly portioned. We can't recommend Anthony's tour enough! Politically incorrect is right up our alley. He has really carved a perfect niche for himself in the tour business. Thank you, Anthony! We'll see you again when we are back in Boston. Take it from us, do not hesitate to take this tour.
