"I booked a personal bike tour on Charles River with Adam. He is very accommodating: we waited until the drizzle almost stopped and started biking. Adam brought the bike and took me on a tour around Boston. He is knowledgeable, has great world experience, and is great to talk to. He is a very special person, doing NGO work - worth asking him about! I will definitely book a tour with him again, and also highly recommend you to do so yourself!"
"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! "
"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."

Beautiful tour with Adam
"We had a wonderful bike tour of Boston with Adam this past weekend. The Blue Bikes were easy to use and most of the ride was along protected bike paths and we always felt safe in our travels. We went through Cambridge seeing MIT (the most innovative square mile on the planet and the amazing Frank Gehry building), through Harvard with a fantastic stop at the Fogg Museum of Art, and along the Charles River. We crossed over the river to Boston to a beautiful lagoon with all the trees in blossom. Adam gave us a lot of recommendations for restaurants and other things to see while we were in Boston. It was a great time and we really enjoyed our time with Adam!"
"We've been natives of Boston for a long time, but wanted a new, unique perspective. Adam was able to provide that and much more. The spots we went to were exactly what we were hoping for and the conversation was great. It was good to have a night out planned and orchestrated by someone else. Well worth the price! I'd definitely recommend Adam as a guide for your adventures."
"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!"
"Seeing the sights along The Charles river from a bicycle is a wonderful experience.
Adam’s route he planned was great . Using the bike paths we were able to go through neighborhoods and the historic universities with no problems.
Adam was a pleasure to be around and made our experience very enjoyable.
Would highly recommend !
