North End & Market District Tour

Note: This tour does not run on major holidays when the Boston Public Market is closed. 

Arrive hungry? We’ve got the perfect, iconic cure!

Join us on a culinary journey through Boston’s vibrant food scene, starting in the historic North End, or what visitors might consider a Little Italy. We’ll begin with award-winning pizza included on the country’s “Top 100 Pizzas” list. Depending on the day of the week, it may also be a James Beard Award winner, or a Best of Boston Pizza winner.

Next, guests will enjoy a bread tasting from a three-time Old World Best of Boston Bread Bakery at a hidden gem. In fact, it’s so hidden, you probably wouldn’t discover it on your own! At the next door Salumeria, you’ll savor freshly-made mozzarella, thinly-sliced prosciutto, and Italian olives.

Then, we’ll switch to artisanal, chocolate Bon Bons. We’ll follow up with your choice of a house-blend coffee at a coffee shop described as a time capsule. During the warmer months, guests will enjoy old-school Italian lemon slush.

We’ll finish the North End portion of the tour with one of Mamma Connie’s famous meatballs at a longtime, popular family-run restaurant. Prefer house-made Limoncello? No problem.

Explore the Boston Public Market

On Fridays and Saturdays, our tour route will take us through the nearly-200-year-old historic Haymarket Market, the oldest open-air market in the country, where we’ll meet with vendors. 

Moving indoors, we’ll visit the Boston Public Market, which is consistently recognized as one of the top public markets in the country by USA Today readers. Here, you’ll enjoy representative tastings from up to 30 local and regional vendors, including a regional specialty doughnut and addictive flavored roasted nuts.

Our finale is both historical and delicious! Just a block away from the Market, we’ll experience the longest continuously-running restaurant in the country, ranked by Forbes as one of the top ten classic restaurants in the world. Here, we’ll savor its iconic chowder and cornbread, and beer drinkers can enjoy an exclusive Sam Adams beer on tap.

Join us for an unforgettable culinary adventure through Boston’s rich history and diverse food culture.
