Excellent tour! I’ve been on several Boston history tours, and this one covered fascinating stories about the North and West End that I’d never heard before. Beth was an amazing guide who is knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the neighborhoods. I’d definitely take another tour with her!
Great tour for high school students! Highly recommended!
We participated in this tour as a family with 3 teenagers (19, 16, 13) and we all had a great time. The content was interesting and kept them all entertained. We learned things that I doubt you'd hear about on a standard history tour and it gave a real sense of the Bostonian culture. Being led by a native gives a personal touch. It's a lot of fun, highly recommend!
Our host, Lilly Winter, was amazing! She had this electrical, contagious energy that made the stories come to life. We couldn't believe that we were walking among tombs and tombstones in the middle of Boston! We had a great time and would easily recommend, just ask for Lilly. 😉
Beth was an amazing storyteller, very engaging with tons of historical facts about true crime and Boston history and a funny sense of humor as well. We would definitely book another tour with her next time we are in town!
Beth was an amazing tour guide! Not only very personable and funny but extremely knowledgeable about true crime in Boston and Boston History in general. Great story teller! We would definitely book another tour with Beth next time we are in town!
Beth was such an amazing guide! The tour was so interesting and felt like a lot of fun information I would have never learned about myself. She was very informative and friendly and suggested that we ask any questions that we may have!
A wonderful tour with an amazing guide. I attended this tour with my 18 year-old granddaughter and we had a wonderful time. Tour was super informative and we both want to take deep dives into the stories that were shared. Guide was friendly, welcoming, hilarious and so knowledgeable! We even followed her dinner recommendation!
Beth was amazing! There was a wide variety of stories, she was so personable and easy going. We walked at a very comfortable pace and felt safe the entire time. Would definitely recommend to friends and family coming to Boston!
