- My granddaughter wanted to do this tour as she is big into crime. Andy did a great job. We definitely recommend this tour to others who are interested in crime and a bit of Boston History. Andy's "andy-dotes" are great.

An excellent tour with Tony the master storyteller - 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.

A Tour Company That Needs Cultural Sensitivity Training - If you're operating in the tourism industry, a basic level of respect and professionalism toward customers should be expected. The tour itself was decent, and the guide was friendly during the experience. However, the customer service was extremely disappointing. If you encounter any issues with your reservation, be prepared for unhelpful and frustrating responses. What was even more troubling was a comment made about my accent, which came across as borderline discriminatory. When working with international tourists, it's essential to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity—especially when it comes to cultural and linguistic differences. This experience left a sour impression.
