Killer Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was very interesting! That area that the tour took place was beautiful. Spencer (tour guide) was extremely knowledgeable and fun!

Cold Killers

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was great! The information was delivered very well! Spencer knew his history! It was very cold but I would do all over again!

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!

Published on Dec, 2024

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!

Amazing time!
