We had a great time, and our tour guide (Adam) was absolutely awesome! Very knowledgeable about the area, and the exposure to art and chocolate was a great combo.

We loved the Chocolate and Art Tour in Boston! The stops were fun and unique, the chocolate was incredible, and the guide made the city’s history feel exciting. A perfect mix of sweet treats and local culture. Highly recommend! 🍫✨

Boston history and chocolate

Michele_D, Nov 2025

This was a great way to see Back Bay and lean some Boston history. The chocolate tastings were delicious. Adam is a very attentive guide. Highly recommend.

Art and Chocolate, a Perfect Combination!

Lori_M, Nov 2025

Adam, the tour guide and owner/operator, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and personable. Our tour group was small and he made a point of having conversations with each of us. The places he took us for chocolate were fantastic selections, although my favorite was the last stop and their hot chocolate! Delicious! The art galleries were also just amazing! I could have easily spent all day at the first gallery and the second gallery introduced me to a new favorite artist. If you love art and chocolate, this tour is for you. You will not be disappointed!

Erin_S, Sep 2025

A very sweet and unique walking tour! Adam was a great host -- he had some visuals to set the stage for the history of the neighborhood and answered any questions that we might have. We stopped at 4 locations for sweets and 3 art galleries. Each gallery was really unique and really cool to explore. Afterwards, he offered suggestions for dinner and drinks which was really helpful. This was a fun experience and we were able to explore an area more than we would have on our own.

Best Boston Tour with Adam

Skye_F, Aug 2025

It was just me and my cousin on the tour and we had so much fun with Adam! He was really insightful and taught us a lot about the area. He was charismatic and a lovely tour guide who engaged with us and made great conversation. You really just stay on Newbury for the whole tour. All the chocolate bites were delicious and you get a background with each place you go into. The art was stunning, we especially loved the first art gallery. Had a blast, 10/10 would recommend!!!

Highly recommend

Isabelle_K, Jul 2025

Adam was an amazing guide, very very knowledgeable and could answer almost any question you ask. Tasted some of the best chocolatey desserts ever, and saw some beautiful artworks. If you love chocolate and modern art this is the tour for you!
