This is a must do if Tony is your guide

Absolutely the best tour we had on our trip. Tony is an excellent storyteller and he made every second of the tour interesting. As a long time true crime junkie, I was pleasantly surprised that I had only heard of 2 of the crimes he told us about. Do not skip out on this tour.

Tony is hands down the best tour guide in Boston

This was easily our favorite tour during our stay in Boston. My husband and I were enthralled by every story Tony shared. We enjoyed it so much, we immediately went online to find other available hours that Tony leads. I am a history teacher of 24 years and true crime junkie for even longer, yet I had never even heard of 6 of the 8 stories Tony told. Absolutely fascinating.

It was very easy to find our meeting point and the host was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour route was a very manageable walk through some beautiful historic neighborhoods. We had a great time and learned a lot about the history of the city at various points in time.

True Crime Fans, Don't Miss It!!

I loved this tour! It was so informative. Even the serial killer cases I was familiar with had details I had never heard before. The tour guide is great and makes the experience so much fun! You can tell he has done extensive research on these crimes and he really knows the history.
