Working with Rafi on setting up the event flow and discussing the details was super helpful and one of the few non-tedious aspects of orchestrating what felt like a wedding weekend! The entire team who were on site were phenomenal -- engaging, happy, helpful and fun for all our guests. We had a big group... 40 kids, 50 people around our (parents) generation, and about 30 in the grandparents generation, and people from each group commented about how awesome it was to have entertainment that was actually fun for people of all ages. We had the jigsaw puzzle maker, and people got to take home nice keepsakes, and we also had the escape room, which was a lot of fun! Kids were able to be successful at it, and it also challenged parents (I say this from experience!) We are grateful we don't have to plan another brit mitzvah, but if we did, we wouldn't hesitate to book Eureka again!

We couldn't be more pleased - I had guests of all ages coming to say that they did not realize a bar mitzvah could be so much fun. They truly made it a very enjoyable event for all. We had the games and puzzles, plus custom jigsaw making (was great as a bar mitzvah gift, rather than the more generic clothing items), Escape room (it was a hit with both kids and adults) and MC and DJ services. I want to separately say that having Rafi as a partner in event planning was invaluable - he came to the venue prior to the event, met with us several times, provided numerous suggestions and advice (on timing, music, highlights, etc.) and coordinated with the venue, caterers and photographer. Can't recommend them enough!

We enjoyed Chef Marco's banter and dumpling instructions, but I admit I was sad to not witness their cuteness in person. Patty called over the TV at one point and held up cute signs all the way from Taiwan. I don't drink and was delighted to find a NAB in the cooler along with a variety of boozy and other options. A spread of amazing dishes awaited us and we also got to eat the dumplings we made. It was a little weird to be 2 cooks at the party, so I think going with a group would be super fun. But then you wouldn't get to take home quite so many leftovers as we did! It was certainly a memorable experience, check it out if you're looking for a different kind of cooking class.

I took the Beacon Hill Chocolate Tour and loved it so much I want to do all 3 of the other tours as…read morewell in the near future. The tour made its way down Charles Street and across the common to Park Street, stopping in several places for tastings and talks along the way. I don't want to give away all of their secrets but a few highlights were Beacon Hill Chocolates, a fabulously adorable little shop with amazing artisan chocolates, 75 Chestnut, where we were served a unique and superb toasted almond chocolate soup and the Melting Pot, where we got to try 4 different dessert fondues! A few people mentioned this tour was pricey, but I disagree. Good chocolate is pricey. If you went to Beacon Hill Chocolates on your own, a box of 4 chocolates would have cost you $10. We got to try 2 chocolates and a sample of gelato. A small fondue at the Melting Pot would run you $18. We got to sample 4 different types. And those are just two of the stops! I actually think it was a bargain! The founder actually joined us on the tour and it was apparent that this was his passion and a lot of time and effort went into finding the places to feature on these tours. I really had a great time and I left stuffed! But I can't wait to try another neighborhood for more amazing chocolate discoveries!

This review is for the Cupcake Crawl that Boston Chocolate Tours offers…read more My sister, Mom and I had been on the Back Bay chocolate tour through this company, and had a great time. Our guide was very personable, and each stop consisted of a worker at the shop discussing with us the history of the company, the chocolate they make, interesting facts, etc. Since then, we have gone back to several of the places we discovered on that tour, most notably Hotel Chocolat on Newbury Street. My sister and friends scheduled a private cupcake tour for my bachelorette, figuring it would be along the same caliber. It was not. 1. Not sure if this was the person coordinating the event or the guide, but we were told to park in the Boston Common garage and given the wrong address to the first location. This resulted in half our party having to take a cab to the correct address, and the rest of us doing a 15 min walk, past many other parking garages. We were then almost 20 minutes late meeting our guide. 2. Half our party showed up a few minutes after us since we had been split up, but the guide was hurried and wanted to get started right away without waiting for them, even though it was a PRIVATE tour. She didn't know it was a bachelorette, wasn't overly friendly, and gave us cupcakes from another bakery at Cakeology, but neglected to tell us that, so when I praised the girl working at Cakeology about the amazing chocolate cupcakes, she was completely confused. 3. Obviously cupcake/bakeries are a little more spread around than chocolate stops, but our tour consisted of us walking from Downtown Crossing, to Beacon Hill, to Newbury Street, to behind the Pru by the Christian Science building. We spent more time walking than we did in any of the actual bakeries, learning about the cupcakes, the establishments or even enjoying the actual tasting. At one point, at Georgetown Cupcakes (where we didn't even go inside or get greeted by anyone working there) our guide said let's walk and eat...down Newbury Street, on a busy Saturday afternoon. Not enjoyable. 4. One stop was totally random, at Johnny Cupcakes on Newbury. For those not in the area, it's a niche t-shirt shop, they don't sell cupcakes. They did have cupcakes from a bakery in Malden (why, I'm not sure...because nobody told us). We just kind of stood around in there while our guide chatted with her friends working there until she asked us if we were ready to leave. 5. This is the real annoying part - we walked all the way down Newbury, past the Pru and Hynnes, all the way around the corner and down towards the back of the Pru by the Christian Science Center for our last "stop" with the Kickass Cupcakes truck. They weren't there. I have no idea why our guide didn't think to call them to confirm their location before we started walking over there, but when we got there, she called, and they were at the corner of Clarendon and Newbury, where we had just been. She then offered to go back if we wanted to...we all declined. Tour had been billed as about 3 hours long. If it had started on time at 1:30, that would have put us around 4:30. Because of the address and parking issue, we really started at around 1:50ish, and we were done before 4pm. I can only attribute this to the fact that we didn't spend hardly any time in any of the bakeries before being shuttled off to our next destination, and then completely missing the last cupcake stop. I felt bad for my friends, because this was something special they planned for my bachelorette and paid extra for to have a private tour, and it was a total joke.

I'm pretty sure I claim the title of Stray Boots' biggest fan. Since discovering this company…read morethrough a Google search about three years ago, I have since purchased and played scavenger hunts in New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Boston. Whether it was with my family or friends, big groups or just a pair of us, these scavenger hunts have created some of the best memories (and photos) from these landmark cities. Stray Boots is a great way to get to know some of the largest, most popular cities around the globe! They are perfect for dates, birthdays, or even if you're bored on a Saturday afternoon and are looking for something to do. They're not only fun, but you learn some unique facts and history about cities that you may have thought you knew like the back of your hand. And not only are you learning about the cities, you're engaging with whoever you're with and sharing a ton of laughs and great conversation along the way. If you're looking for a unique way to spend a date with your lover, share a birthday with your friends, or explore a new city with your family, Stray Boots is the absolute best way to do it all!

Mobsters and Lobsters is a mafia story laden trip that ends up at the south shore popular lobster eatery. Although Mother Nature and the traffic in downtown Boston decided yo play games with us the owner who's name actually is Tom Collins, started off with a quick quip yo get the folks settled and the first round of beverages were begun. Tom brings us around to the spectacular locations and spots where specific mobsters from the years past were doing their cunning and not so cunning work. Tom's knowledge for this thoroughly interesting topic is unmatched. His serious knowledge of the history of other significant historical places and events speckled with his dry "Bastan" humor. Made this trip extremely worthwhile. The duration was four hours long which also included a Lobster dinner at a local eatery on the south Boston harbor. I haven't laughed this hard in a long while. If you are in beantown for a spell. I highly recommend you and you motley crew join Tom for an interesting alcohol added trip back in time. I am positive your jaws and cheeks will be sore from laughing so hard. Be aware this is an "R" rated trip! But very worth it. Thanks Tom for making this a great memorable evening.

First of all, Diane D (I asked for her name so I could write a review) was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and up to the task of me changing my mind about when I wanted to depart about four times in a row. She booked four rides for me within minutes and then I asked her if there was any chance CCA had airport transportation. I have tickets for two concerts this week in Virginia, and I was so hoping to go because the singer on tour will likely never tour again, but I was having a great deal of difficulty getting a ride into Boston Logan. Diane was so happy to help and got me a ride immediately. I have recently been dealing with a great deal of pain and I haven't been treated very well , especially in hospitals, by some of the doctors and nurses. I was just released from the hospital this past Wednesday. To talk to someone like Diane today, who made me feel like a real person rather than another number, was truly heartening. It was everything I needed. I'd like to thank her from the bottom of my heart. And thanks to CCA, for hiring someone so skilled in customer service.
