Great Story Telling!

Carrie_B, Oct 2025

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!

Fun Evening Activity in Boston!

A fun, educational and entertaining way to learn more about Boston's history...the parts not written in the history books or the placards of the Freedom Trail, etc. We enjoyed the walk and stories.

Our favorite tour of Boston!

We had Beth and Mark as guides for this tour and all I can say is, you DON’T want to miss this tour in Boston. They were so incredibly knowledgeable, but fun and personable. We learned so much, and had the best time. We took 5 tours on this trip, and this was absolutely our favorite! Thank you so much for such a fun night!
