Really great, interesting tour

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.

Great Boston Crime tour!!

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.

Favorite tour in Boston, and I’ve done almost all of them!

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.

Fun to learn about the crime and not be part of a crime, haha.

Had a great time. Tour guide Tony was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone interested in the crime history of Boston
