Great (and tasty) intro to Boston! - This was a great introduction to the city! We did this tour on our 1st day in Boston and had a great time. Our guide was knowledgeable not just about the area and the city, but chose some great stops for food that really highlighted the neighborhood. We had so many yummy desserts we had to take some to go by the end we were so full. Definitely reccomend for travelers of all types. He also shared a handy guide as a follow up with every stop, mention and question we had

Eat light before this tour! - Such a great tour! Adam had lots of great antidotes and stories to tell our small group of 4 about Boston, its history and the history behind the places we ate amazing pastries at. My daughter and I especially loved the florenrine cannoli (I don’t like them in general) but we loved the first place and wound up there for dinner the next night per Adam’s recommendation. Over all great tour and Adam, loved the molasses story!

Would do again - Yummy! We each had a serving of the first dessert from a place only people in the know would be able to find. The rest of the desserts were shared between pairs, which was fine because we were 2 groups of 2. Adam was friendly and knowledgeable, he kept us all involved in the conversation throughout the tour.

Fun and easy tour for the flight inbound - The spots he chose were so good! That bova pastry. I'm a man of few words. Why do I have to have a hundred characters so silly

One chatty family and a cold day - Adam is an amazing tour guide who braved the freezing temperatures to take us on a fascinating tour through the north end of Boston. He was funny, informative, and super accommodating. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston, whether it be for the first time or for the 100th time.

North-End Pastry tour - Adam was an awesome tour guide. Excellent pastries at every stop and excellent knowledge shared throughout the tour. Adam blended local food-scene knowledge with a greater-boston history and architecture lesson and it was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone and will be returning for one of his other tours.
