Back Bay Evening Chocolate Tour

Overview

Welcome to the Back Bay Evening Chocolate Tour! Back Bay is one of Boston's most beautiful neighborhoods and a city planning masterclass that illustrates American architecture's changing tastes and stylistic evolution throughout the mid-to-late 19th and early 20th centuries.

It's also home to excellent chocolate vendors and gorgeous art galleries. The group will have chocolate tastings at four locations while visiting two art galleries to see why Back Bay is an essential Boston neighborhood. During this tour, we'll taste the following:

-Hot chocolate from one of the pioneers of America's artisanal chocolate industry
-Cookies from a legendary New York City bakery that's expanded into Boston
-Cupcakes from a delightful Newbury St dessert shop
-Chocolate hazelnut cake bites from a three-story Italian goods market

As a parting gift, you will be sent a post-tour email covering more of my favorite places to go, things to do, and food & drink to enjoy while you're in the Boston area!

Our tour with Adam was wonderful! Even as people who have lived in the Boston area for a few years, we learned so much about the development of Back Bay, and were introduced to some great chocolate shops we wouldn’t have found otherwise. We would recommend this tour to anyone with a sweet tooth, who is looking to explore the area. It sounds like there are some other tours in development, too, so keep an eye out!
