Highly insightful and engaging tour, must do! - Tony was an exceptional and funny tour guide! He showed great passion about true crime and Boston and clearly did his research! He was very interactive and engaging with our group. I still remember a lot of the stories’ details because of how good the storytelling was LOL! Despite the gory nature of most of the crimes, Tony did a great job in keeping it light hearted. Definitely recommend this tour and this was a great end of our trip in Boston.

Highly Recommend Both Tours with Tony! - We had an amazing time exploring Boston with our guide, Tony, who was both knowledgeable and passionate about the city's history. It’s clear that Tony loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made both tours incredibly engaging. We did the Beacon Hill True Crime Tour and the Boston Harbor Walk & Seafood Tour, and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Tony's storytelling brought the history of Boston to life in such an interesting way—especially the intriguing tales on the True Crime Tour. As for the Harbor Walk, learning about the city's waterfront history while enjoying fresh seafood was the perfect combination! Both tours were well-organized and informative, and I was really happy Tony was our guide for both. If you're planning to visit Boston, I highly recommend both tours and definitely ask for Tony. You won’t be disappointed!

Exception Tour - The Beacon Hill Crime tour lead by Tony was exceptional. His historic knowledge of the area and crimes committed around the Boston area was engaging and professionally delivered. If only there was a six star rating. Funny moment involved the big group of 20 odd being frightened by a small rodent which appeared from the Boston Common. Everyone survived. A must do tour for anyone visiting Boston.

Not what I thought - Our guide was SO nice and VERY knowledgable. The stories were very long and sometimes hard to follow.

Disappointing - Even an entire boat cruise tour proceeded with their tour with only one person booked, your denial was crazy and disappointing
