    North End

    Off the Eaten Path tours is the North Ends most delicious and filling food and history tour. Explore the greatest Little Italy in America with a local guide. We will travel up and down the peninsula of Italy as we taste and learn about regional Italian cuisine. Learn how the oldest neighborhood in Boston became Italian, while visiting small family business. We have 5 stops, including a two course lunch with wine pairing, visit an authentic Italian market and learn about olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and cheese, visit an artisan bakery, and an authentic Italian caffe for cannoli, gelato, and espresso, and many other delicacies. Visit Naples, Sicily, the Amalfi coast, and Emilia Romanga without leaving the North End. You will be transported to Italy without the passports, and become a North End insider at the same time!! This is truly the most special and unique tour of this remarkable district. Come hungry! Leave with your hearts, minds, and bellies full. You will never think of Italian wine and food the same way.

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
