We loved absolutely everything about this tour especially our tour guide, Pat. Pat was knowledgable, super friendly, and very welcoming. He texted us before hand to make sure if we had any questions before the tour, engaged in conversation with everyone, and checked in with how people were feeling about their drinks and dessert. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking to do something with your partner (and/or friends) or just to have a few cocktails with some dessert. The North End experience was much more lively with Pat as our tour guide.

I was looking to surprise my wife for our 21st anniversary and came across the reviews for this tour. I decided to give it a shot and I was not disappointed. This is hands down one of the best tours in Boston. We met with 3 other couples/pairs and went on a tour with Pat. I've been on 4/5 other tours in Boston, and I picked up so many great facts I'd never heard. The spots we went to were amazing and Pat really got everyone talking and excited. After just one stop everyone was laughing and talking and it felt like we were all in one big group. My wife and I will definitely be bringing family and friends back for this tour. No matter if you are brand new to Boston, just visiting, or have lived here forever... don't miss out on this tour!

I attended the Cocktails and Cannolis tour on September 24, 2021 and it was great! Pat was super kind and responsive and showed us really amazing places I probably would never have discovered on my own. I came by myself, but Pat always made sure I was included and doing well throughout the tour, so even if you are a lone traveler, don't feel shy signing up for this! Since I'm new to the area, Pat also encouraged me to contact him whenever if I need a recommendation or help while I'm here. Such a lovely guy and fun tour! Highly recommend! :)

We had an AMAZING time on the Boston North End Cocktail and Cannoli’s tour. Pat was an incredible tour guide with a wealth of information about the area and history, including some really fun stories. I booked the tour to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday! Pat was very accommodating answering all my questions, and he also had mocktails for my younger daughter so she could be part of the celebration. We did the private tour because it was a special occasion! I would highly recommend this tour. It was one of my favorites!!!🍸🇮🇹

LOVED IT - I recently enjoyed this tour with some family and friends who were visiting the area, and we had a blast. We were seamlessly guided through a fairly busy part of Boston, and our guide (Sara) stopped us at the perfect times - to point out historic sites, tell their stories, and most importantly to feed us alcohol and desserts. The entire process from booking to departure was very easy and I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a 'taste' of the exciting North End neighborhood. We felt like locals the entire time - what a treat! Thanks Sara!

This tour was so much fun! I set up a private tour for my close family members, there were 5 of us - and coming me, someone from MA and a frequent visitor of Boston with a passion for the north end - I was brought placed I’ve walked past 100 times and never knew they were there. Hidden gems of bar and bakeries, delighted with some drinking history, taken down quiet back roads off of Hanover St. , this tour gave us everything we wanted and never expected. Our tour guide was awesome and so accommodating. The perfect length as well, 2-2.5hrs - while there is a mix of walking and relaxing - we didn’t feel tired! He truly knew his stuff and I would recommend this tour to anyone no matter how familiar you are with Boston and the North End. As long as you like fantastic cocktails and desserts ;)

My husband and I LOVED our tour with Pat, it was a highlight of our trip! Pat was kind enough to accommodate some mocktails for me since I’m pregnant, and my husband enjoyed his regular cocktails too. We got to see local hidden gems and enjoy some history and sightseeing in Boston. Definitely recommend booking a tour!

We booked a private tour with Pat on a Thursday night after we arrived in Boston. The private tour was slightly more expensive at $100/person but worth it to have our own guide. The tour includes 3 dessert stops and 3 cocktail stops. He also showed us some unique spots around the North End. He has a great knowledge of the history of the area and was fun to listen to!

I could not recommend a better tour. Pat, our tour guide, gave us a lot of information and history about the North End. It was fun and interactive, but Pat did not make it feel at all like a school trip. It was a very hot day when I went, but the walk was not overwhelming at all. He lets you take all the time you need to eat your pastries and sip your cocktails without feeling rushed. Overall, he is friendly and kind and this was one of my favorite activities I’ve done in Boston. Worth it!!

We had a great time on the tour! Love the North End and it was fun to learn little tidbits of information as well as some Boston history. Of course the treats and cocktails were awesome too! Pat has a wealth of knowledge and was great about sharing tips on restaurants, quick take out options, etc.

This tour was awesome! We had such a great time. We did this tour shortly before my sister's surprise proposal. It was the perfect way to fill an afternoon. Pat was an awesome guide, I learned a lot about Boston that I didn't know - even as a native. The desserts were great, and the cocktails were amazing. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Boston, or to Boston natives who haven't already tried this tour. Scratch that, even if you've already done this tour... Do it again!

Because we had such an amazing time last spring, we decided to do it again and bring some friends along. Once again, Pat made the experience a fantastic one! He started with a personal touch by sending a message the day of the tour. He then brought each of us a water as it was hot out and we would be walking around the north end of the city. Our first stop was at a famous pastry shop. From there we continued with Pat giving us historical information as we ventured to other amazing spots in the area. From sfogliatella (a delicious Italian pastry), a variety of martinis, Gelato and other delicious treats along the way, Pat made the afternoon entertaining and fun for all. We will be back again!

Pat's tour was absolutely amazing!! My family and I booked it for my dad's birthday and were so excited to try it out! He braved the pouring rain with us which we are so thankful for because my dad was so excited for espresso martinis. The food and drink choices were amazing and we ate/drank way more than I had expected for the price. I already have a private tour booked again with him and have been telling everyone about the tour! It's going to be my new go-to for get togethers and birthdays!!

We did a walking tour in Boston with Cocktails and Cannolis on our last day. It was so much fun and delicious! We started with Moscow mules at Parla (Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn). The best mule I've ever had. Then, we went to Bricco Panetteria and had Sfogliatelle (the best, lightest dessert I've ever had). After that, we went to Massimo's and had a cannoli taste of between Mike's Pastry and Modern Pastry with an Almond Joy Martini. I can't remember the next stop, but it was a cool Italian Portuguese fusion restaurant that made us pistachio martinis that was delicious. To round it off, we had gelato and espresso martinis... Or in my case a cappuccino. If you are ever in Boston and looking for something not too kitchy, book the tour with Pat. He's super cool, and it's definitely worth every penny!

Really great tour. He had some cancellations, and I ended up being the only customer. I really appreciated he didn't cancel the tour since it would just be me. He has a lot of great insights and is a multigenerational Bostonian which adds to the experience. I had been in the area walking around before the tour, and there were spots I passed and never would've stopped at on my own. A couple of them were places that had inconspicuous to practically hidden entrances and ended up being quite the place. Cocktails were really good, and they weren't just tastes which I really enjoyed. Pat is very down to earth.

My first time to Boston and I am glad we chose Cocktails & Cannoli tour. Pat was genuine and a friendly knowledgeable guide. He is attentive and makes sure everyone enjoys the tour. The cocktails & desserts were delicious. The tour is a great start to exploring the restaurants around Boston. I highly recommend!

My wife and I absolutely loved this tour!! Pat was an incredible guide! His passion for Boston's North End was evident and sincere, and came across in his energy and enthusiasm while guiding us. It was our first night in Boston and this was a great way to get to know the neighborhood. The following days we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at places recommended by Pat and were not disappointed. Communication and follow up was great as well. If we are back in Boston we will absolutely do this again. It's a great option if you're just visiting or if you live close by and want exclusive access to great drinks and delicious cannoli (and more)!

We had such a fun and delicious experience with Pat in the North End on Friday! Pat is well organized, friendly, fun and very informative. He took us to places we'd never been before and clearly is well liked by the establishments we visited. We loved our Cocktails and Cannoli Tour!

We had a great time on the tour and a lot of fun discovering Boston’s north end. My friend and I were only in town for a couple of days and wanted to find a unique way to explore. The desserts and cocktails were delicious; Sara was an excellent guide; and we learned a lot about the neighborhood. I highly recommend!

Pat was a great tour guide! My friends and I had a short amount of time in Boston and this tour provided just what we were looking for: some history, some sweet and savory foods and amazing cocktails! Highly recommend!

This dessert and drink tour in the North End was the most fun tour we’ve been on. My family and I are from MA and have been to Boston many times but we wanted to learn and see more of it from a guide and Pat was the absolute best!! All of the facts and history he gave us we’re so interesting and entertaining, the opposite of a boring tour. They combined the perfect amount of eating/drinking indoors to walking ratio and we all had such a blast, we can’t wait to go on another tour with Pat!

The tour is absolutely amazing, you get to see the best parts of Boston while enjoying great drinks and even better deserts. The thing I enjoyed most about this tour was that they show you things of Boston you wouldn’t normally get to see on a tour. Extremely knowledgeable tour guide who was very enthusiastic. Pat was easy to reach as he texted us the morning of the tour to make sure we knew where we were going and made sure we didn’t have any issues or questions.

Pat was an incredible tour guide, and he brought us to hidden gems of the North End! Even growing up right outside of Boston, we didn’t know some of these places existed! And we were happy to explore them with a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Cocktails & Cannoli was a great time, and I’d definitely recommend to both tourists and locals!

We did this tour for my aunt's birthday - it was so much fun! Pat was so nice and took us to great spots in the North End. The food and drinks were delicious, and he provided us with a ton of interesting facts and stories about the neighborhood. The group was about 12 people total so it was a good size. Definitely a fun group activity while in Boston!

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!
