Adam was the perfect guide for us (party of 3, me as dad with my two teenage kids) - very personable, knowledgeable, and providing exactly the right mix between explaining Boston´s history, showing us historic places, places of interest from today and gossip / interesting fun facts that kept us and especially the kids interested. Can only highly recommend Adam as your local guide for Boston!Great experience with a great guide!

We had a Highlights & Hidden Gems Tour in Boston with Adam. What can we say? It was one of the best tours we've ever had. Adam is extremely nice, incredibly relaxed, knows truly enchanted and beautiful places in Boston (we were with him in Cambridge), and he is very interested in art. He showed us places and artworks that we would have never found without him. He also has a very profound knowledge of Boston's history. He seems to have strong roots in the cultural scene as well. And then he recommended a Peruvian restaurant to us, which is now one of our culinary highlights. And we've traveled a lot in the world. For us, Adam was the perfect tour guide. Adam, again: Thank you very much.The perfect Tourguide for us

We have participated in food tours all over the world - and so we went in with high expectations…not only of Adam, as our host, but also of Boston’s culinary scene. Neither disappointed - both were amazing! Adam led us around the streets of Boston, regaling us with stories, and simultaneously keeping our tummies full and satisfied with delicious food!!! If we’re ever back in Boston again, which we hope to be, as it was so much fun - we’ll definitely do this again with Adam - he was the BEST! Wicked Awesome Experience!!

Adam was very nice and personable. He had printed out some info on the local history and shared that with us. The low rating is because it was advertised as a food and beverage tour, and before booking he stated it would be customized to our dietary needs. He asked that it be scheduled during the lunch hours. For four adults it was $882. During the three hour period the only beverage included was free tap water. For the four of us to share the following food was provided: one donut (from his backpack, did not meet dietary restrictions), one side of baked beans (did not meet dietary restrictions), one bowl of chowder (did not meet dietary restrictions), six oysters, one small lobster roll (did not meet dietary restrictions, two cannolis (did not meet dietary restrictions) and some chocolate from his backpack (did not meet dietary restrictions). He did give us each a little souvenir magnet at the end. Nice guide but Not a food and drink tour
