We had a lot of fun on our Beacon Hill "True Crime" Tour with Andrew! The stories were fascinating, and just the right amount of spooky yet funny and interesting – a perfect mix of history and intrigue that kept everyone interested. Walking through the charming streets of Beacon Hill at night made it all feel so immersive and fun.Our guide Andrew was outstanding – knowledgeable and an incredible storyteller. What really stood out was how well the tour worked for our family group: we had our 12- and 14-year-old kids plus my 80-year-old in-laws, and everyone loved it equally. Highly recommend this tour – it's a unique and entertaining way to see Boston!Thanks again, Andrew – you made our evening memorable!

Andy was great! When we arrived, he told us we were the only 2 booked for that tour time. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and had an excellent ability to set the scene and provide specific details to each story.

Tony was awesome! Very personable & well versed on the topics. We got to see areas of Beacon Hill we wouldn’t have known existed. The 2 hours went by so quickly because Tony kept the conversation going between sites on the tour.

Good evening exploring the city and hearing about some of the old crimes that happened in the Boston area. Tony was great

Tony was an amazing tour guide! It was just me and my friend, so we were given an unofficial “private” tour with only our group. Tony went out of his way to make us feel included in the stories and history, and was very enthusiastic about all of our questions and interest in the history! He was a great story teller, and very informative. I highly recommend this tour, whether you’re a group of 2 or 20.

Tony our guide was excellent. He was not only very knowledgeable but was able to engage extremely well with the group. Although the group size was larger than we expected, Tony's delivery meant that in this instance it was not a problem. He provided the right amount of historical detail/storytelling to ensure that the group's interest level was sustained.

Jodi_B, Apr 2025
If you like true crime this is really cool. Awesome story telling! Anthony brought the stories to life beautifully and was a joy to listen to. Lots of standing; may not be good for restless people or small kids. Bundle up at night. It gets cold. The cherry on top was warming up in the Liberty hotel. Amazing food and ambiance!
Kevin_C, Mar 2025
