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
We'll also visit two art galleries:
-A contemporary gallery showcasing local and global talent
-Another gallery featuring 50 artists, including ceramics, paintings, photographs, mobiles, works on paper, and sculpture
