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.

Tony was the best tour guide I had my while trip to Boston! - I had the best time on this tour! Tony was so informative, he really went in depth with all the stories without it feeling like an info dump. Despite the gruesome topics of crime and murder, he kept the tone light and welcoming. I want to go on more true crime tours with this guy, I feel like the info would actually stick lol. Thanks again Tony, I highly recommend this to anyone that's visiting Boston! Quick tip, make sure you use the restroom beforehand and have adequate foot wear. I'm from flatland town in SC and was not fully prepared for the hills in Beacon Hill. Trust that I took advantage of any opportunity to sit during the tour.

Amazing Tour - I highly recommend this tour. We started out at the Massachusetts State House where a couple of very interesting stories were told and walked to several sites where crimes occurred or were associated with the crime. The tour is very informative and interesting. Spencer is such a great story teller and held everyone’s attention from the beginning to the very end of the tour. He is excellent. I really think you are missing out if you don’t go on this tour!
