Overview

Back Bay is one of Boston's most beautiful areas 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 area.

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:

-An art gallery representing Old Masters, Impressionists & Modern Masters from the 16th to 21st centuries
-A gallery featuring 50 artists, including ceramics, paintings, and mobiles
