Great Tour

This was a great tour and great food. If your looking for a tour of local cuisine given by Gordan Ramsey, this isn't it. This is like getting a tour from Rodney Dangerfield's cousin from the Italian side neighborhood. Anthony "Flash" does a great job of telling the history and decline of the Italian area of the North End of Boston. He is a great story teller and knows the hidden gems of the Italian food in the North End as well the locals he grew up with that we met. We definitely did not leave hungry. If you know you're an uptight A'hole, this is not for you! Would highly recommend. Thanks Flash!

We enjoyed the tour very much much! Initially we booked 11am tour but we were late. The tour guide allowed us to join the 2:30 tour. We are grateful for thus accommodation.

Politically incorrect and well worth it
Mark_H, October 2026
Anthony was both hilarious and irreverent. Make sure you realize that he’s going to show up late, smoke cigarettes, and curse. Lol his stories about the old neighborhood and growing up in Boston in the 70s were well presented and information informational. We also ate some great food at local restaurants that have been around since the 70s.
