Highly interesting, engaging, and fun.
Tyler absolutely killed it as a tour guide. This guys interest in the history of Boston was palatable, his stories interesting and the views were bar none.As a guy doing my first solo trip, in Boston of all places, Tyler made it fun, interesting, and totally worth my time. He knew the crowd, planned for the windy weather, and somehow kept an eye on the traffic!Highly recommend the tour and as someone from Chicago that is familiar with a lot of tour guides, I’d totally recommend this guy as a guide for any of my friends or family visiting in the future. Can’t recommend enough.

North End and Boston Market District Food Tour with Local Guide
SchermerhornTraveler, Sep 2026
You must do this tour! Do not look any further!
I’ve been on many food tours, and if you are looking for the best one, you must do this tour. Audrey is the owner and she personally took five hours out of her Saturday afternoon to take us around, didn’t rush us and made it the best experience on a food tour I’ve ever had. You can always tell on a food tour how it’s going to be in the first 10 minutes. Many food tours in large cities are chains all around the country and don’t have any relationships established with the local restaurants that they are touring you through. It was very clear from the very beginning that Audrey is on a first name basis with every single one of the partners and they treat her like family. She is well liked, and they are excited to see her and the tour when it comes in. Don’t underestimate how important this is. In addition to that, she is 100% knowledgeable of all the interesting and important facts for every restaurant and the local area on the north end. We found this wildly interesting in addition to the delicious food selections that she made at every single stop. Take this tour, don’t miss it, and message me if you need to know anything specific. This is a good one.
