What a great experience with this tour. Great tour guide, Tony who was very knowledgeable and interesting. Thank you Tony. Sold out tour but small enough group of 25 to be able to hear and walk along the route and not missing anything. Would recommend this Beacon Hill True Crime Tour while in Boston. Beacon Hill is just beautiful and you will enjoy seeing these beautiful places as well.
25 people in the group was just too many
Can't say enough about how great of a tour it is! Tony was an incredible guide!
Found it through our Go City pass and was glad we chose this as one of our experiences. Our guide was super knowledgeable and presented the tour perfectly. Really learned a lot too.
Tony was our guide for this tour. Myself, my sister and my cousin took a 4 day girls trip to Boston and chose this as one of our tours. He was very informative and made the tour very interesting!! This was well worth the cost, as we had looked into a couple other things to do as well.
Tony was amazing! He was so thorough and even in a large group (there ended up being 25 of us lastnight) he was able to project the entire evening! He was so charismatic and the stories he told were captivating. Thank you for what has been my favorite tour in Boston.
Andy was really enthusiastic and has a really great way of telling the history of some of Boston’s most iconic crimes.
Had a great time. Tour guide Tony was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone interested in the crime history of Boston

Tony is great. He is so knowledgeable. We also did the pub crawl with him.
