Q&A

Q: Can I do this tour if I have a gluten allergy? Are there any alternatives?

A: While this tour is all about pizza and cannoli, the North End has some great gluten-free options! You can ask at different spots for gluten-free crust or even snack on some Italian cheeses and meats instead. Just make sure to plan ahead and check the menus online for any alternatives!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Any tips?

A: Comfort is key! Wear good walking shoes since you’ll be on your feet checking out spots in the North End. Boston can get warm, so breathable clothing is a plus. And don’t forget a hat or sunscreen if it’s sunny – you don’t want to ruin your picnic vibes!

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour? Can I reschedule?

A: You can definitely reschedule! Since this is a self-guided tour, just pick a new day that works for you. However, be sure to check the weather beforehand so you can enjoy your picnic without getting soaked. Also, some shops may close early or have different hours in bad weather, so keep that in mind!

Just did the North End Pizza, Cannoli, and Picnic Tour!

I finally got around to doing this tour last week and it was such a blast! Started at Galleria Umberto for the famous pizza before hitting up some cute shops and picking up cannoli. The best part was chilling in the Prado with my treats. The WalknTours app was super easy to use. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves food and wants to explore the North End!

Thinking about gifting the North End tour - any advice?

I’m planning to get this self-guided tour for my foodie friend’s birthday. Is it worth it? Since it's self-paced, does anyone feel it loses the tour experience? Also, how’s the app?
