Engaging tour learning of the Crimes of Boston - I learned two days earlier on the Pub Crawl with Tony, that he was filled with knowledge to share about Boston and the area. He told us that night in one of the bars, a story about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and I knew then I wanted to go on the Crime Tour. I booked the tour immediately, before we completed the Pub Crawl. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and Tony is an engaging story teller. He adds tidbits of information just as you are walking to the next site, not necessarily crime related, perhaps history of the area. The crime stories were fascinating and it was such a great evening! Tony was also able to make suggestions of other things to see and do. We were heading to Salem so he share must-sees with us, which we loved. He also shared what not to waste our time doing.

Interesting tour and entertaining guide! - Tony did an amazing job showing us the city and entertaining us with some headline stories! The tour was 2+ hours, and we walked about a mile, so it was a very doable pace. Some of the streets are cobblestone, so wear good sneakers and bring your water. There was only one story I already knew (the Boston Strangler), and I even learned a bit more about that one. Tony made them all come to life for us, adding a little humor and tactfully describing the most gory and unpleasant parts so it was even appropriate for younger teens. I highly recommend this tour! Ask for Tony!

Not to be missed - We had this tour included with the Boston GoCity Pass. We are happy to have been able to do this tour with Cady! She is patronized by her subject and she masters it very well! She explains each case with a lot of information and we see that she did a lot of research. It is easy to understand even for those who do not have English as their mother tongue. If the subject interests you, do not hesitate and I wish you Cady as a guide!! Cady comes to visit Montreal now!!
