This tour is absolutely worth it; the drinks are fantastic, the cannolis are delicious, and the history of the north end you get during the tour keeps you interested. Pat was our guide and he did a great job making it feel like you're just exploring the city with friends. 5 stars.

Pat was a great tour guide, in a group of 12 we were able to hear him speak whether you were in the front of the group or the back. He is very accommodating should you not like the drinks offered (Espresso, Almond Joy, Lemon Drop Martini’s). We don’t drink coffee and didn’t love the creamy drinks, but Pat offered a replacement, which he didn’t have to do! Pat also offered restaurant recommendations and places to go, hidden gems if like, while we visit Boston.

FUN, FUN, FUN!!! I was looking for something fun to do to celebrate my friend's 60th birthday and I stumbled upon this tour- it looked interesting and decided to give it a try. My girlfriends and I had an absolute blast! We live in the Boston area and have been to the North End dozens of times- but our tour guide, Pat, made it all seem brand new to us. We experienced lots of mouth-watering pastries and cocktails in wonderful, newly discovered settings- all while enjoying his fascinating stories and bits of history. The whole experience was top notch- all of our food and drinks were waiting for us when we arrived at each location- no waiting in lines and no waiting for tables. Be sure to come with an empty stomach- you'll walk away fully satisfied in every regard. Mark this at the top of your "Must Do" list while in Boston. I've already recommended it to dozens of friends. Thank you Pat!

This is a must do tour in Boston. My family and I had a phenomenal time eating pastries, cannoli’s and drinking yummy cocktails. Along the tour we learned fascinating facts about the North End community. Sara our tour guide was absolutely charming. By the end of the tour we felt like family.

Pat was so fun and knowledgeable! We learned so much about cool places in the North End and stories behind each place. Drinks were fantastic and it was fun to finally put an end to the Modern vs. Mike’s pastry debate. Highly recommend— even if you’re a North End regular!

A wonderful evening the city! This tour was full of fun little factoids about the historical north end while taking a leisurely walk and enjoying the beautiful area of Boston. The variety of cocktails were amazing. The desserts were exceptional and we will be back for more in no time. We did just enough walking to not feel uncomfortably full afterwards. And our knowledgeable and charismatic guide, Pat, made this such a fantastic experience. Would recommend tenfold for both locals and out of town travelers!

The Cocktails and Cannoli tour is a must for anyone that enjoys desserts, drinking, and wants a nice tour of Boston’s North End! It was an absolutely amazing experience! You get to do a blind taste test of Mike’s and Modern, get to see different parts of Boston’s North End, and enjoy some delicious cocktails. The tours are also only up to 12 people, which I personally think is great so that way you can actually hear the tour guide and enjoy yourself. Speaking of tour guides, Sara was absolutely amazing! She was super knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and she was attentive to everyone in the group!
