  • In the morning when you are in the famous North End, all of the food stops are 100% owned and run by locals, ensuring that local people benefit from tourism to their city. So any inclusions on the tour and additional purchases you make will directly benefit the local community.

Both the Old North Church and King's Chapel are non-profit organizations that work hard to educate school children and adults on American history and colonial life. By paying an entrance fee, you are helping to maintain the church and their work.

Excellent tour

We had Dillon as our tour guide and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the city and history and enthusiastic about his job which made the tour even better. Lots of taste treats along the way. I would recommend this tour to learn about Boston and also find some great local eats that I would never have known about if I didn't do it.

Mrs. Janet did a fantastic job. She was witty, knowledgeable, experienced and charming. I would love to go on another tour with her. The five hours just flew by, as she seamlessly meandered us through all historic and delicious parts of Boston.

We had a great experience with Bob as our tour guide. One of my favorite things about Urban Adventures is their dedication to keep groups small (12 max). We felt like we had our very own personal tour guide to learn about Boston. I highly recommend the tour for this fact alone. I have been on similar tours in other cities by different operators with no maximum and the experience is definitely not as fun. Here is what you need to know before you book this particular tour: - The first half of this tour is of the North End and includes food samples. You get samples of freshly baked bread, a cappuccino, cannoli, a piece of Italian sub, a slice of amazing Sicilian pizza and at one of the final stops a cold beer. The food is outstanding and really filling. They don't provide a sit-down meal, but you will be full! -The second part of the tour takes us along of the rest of the Freedom trail. You get admissions to Old North Church along with your tour. This part of the tour is excellent and you will learn a lot about Boston's history, and really the history of our country. Be Aware: -The tour can run much longer than 5 hours (ours was about 6.5 hours). You are walking and standing almost the entire time. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. We walked about 5 miles. -You can leave the tour at any point, don't feel pressured to stay until the end, especially if you have plans. We ended up really late to our next scheduled activity. -This tour ends in a different location from where the tour begins. The tour guides are kind to help you find your way back if needed. We were able to take the T back. Overall, this tour is worth every penny. In fact, I think it's underpriced for the value you receive!

Conner was an engaged and enthusiastic guide. Morning in the North End was the better part of the tour for us. Group size was 12 in the morning, 10 in the afternoon. Cannoli was the food highlight

We had a great time. The tour guide Corinne was very knowledgeable. My only feedback…. Space the food stops throughout the tour instead of all in the beginning. I think the tour should be condensed to four hours.

Sully is the best tour guide we’ve ever had; his knowledge of Boston’s history was amazing. As first-time visitors we couldn’t have asked for a better tour of the North End. And the food great!
