The City, Art and Chocolate!
Adam gave us an amazing experience, and we got to see the city in Back Bay! We visited four different chocolate shops, a couple of art galleries, and some beautiful scenery of Back Bay. The chocolate shops were the best I’ve ever visited, with fudge that melted in my mouth, a cupcake with filling in the middle that was tasty, warm crispy chocolate chip cookies that I couldn’t stop eating, and the most delicious chocolate drink I’ve ever had! My kids agreed with me; they thought all of them were delicious too! Adam was a great guy, very friendly and funny, and I hope we get to have a tour with him again someday!

Chocolate Lovers Unite
If you enjoy chocolate, bakeries, and art galleries definitely book. This was the perfect introduction to Boston. We enjoyed the Pucker Gallery and Gallery d Orsay. It’s hard to pick a favorite sweet shop. I really enjoyed the Eataly and Levain.

Fun and tasty
Adam's Chocolate and Art tour was great for both my husband and I as well as our teenage kids. Adam was extremely knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Note, there's a lot of walking on the tour so be prepared with jackets (if needed) and comfortable shoes!

2nd time on tour, just as amazing as the 1st
Fun, delicious, and incredibly thoughtful tour! This was my second tour with Adam, and once again he exceeded expectations. He customized our private tour to celebrate a friend’s birthday, adding personal touches and surprises that made the experience feel extra special. We explored Union Square in Boston where we enjoyed some amazing food/drinks/pastries, and learned so much about the neighborhood along the way. The meeting spot was easy to get to, and Adam was engaging and knowledgeable. It’s so much more than just great food and an informative couple of hours — highly recommend for a memorable outing with friends or family!
