A great evening of crime stories in a unique setting - We enjoyed walking around Beacon Hill in the evening, the streets and lighting are perfect to share historical crime stories. And our guides true crime stories were unique, interesting and well researched. Loved how he share a bit of all the different types of crime, not just murder.

Tony is the best - We had the GoCity Pass and we were looking for some activities in the evening. We decided to do the Beacon Hill True Crime Tour and lemme tell you IT’S SO MUCH FUN. Our tourguide Tony was so passionate about Boston and I could’ve listened to him forever. You just know for him this is not only a job, he goes above and beyond for a the group to have a good time. The time flew by and if I stayed longer in Boston I would’ve booked another tour with him.

Tony’s Witty Beacon Hill Crime Tour: A Killer Time - If you’re looking to unravel the dark secrets of Beacon Hill with a side of wit and charm, Tony’s your guy! This true-crime maestro led our 2-hour expert-guided tour with the finesse of a seasoned detective cracking a cold case. From the get-go, Tony’s humor was sharper than a switchblade in a back alley. Early in the tour, when a scantily clad protester hauling a mattress toward the Massachusetts State Capitol tried to steal the spotlight, Tony defused the awkwardness like a pro, turning a potential crime scene into a laugh-out-loud moment with a quip that had us all in stitches. Tony’s knowledge of Beacon Hill’s shadowy past is deeper than a buried body in a cold case file. He wove tales of murder, mystery, and mayhem with such charisma that every cobblestone seemed to whisper its own confession. Whether he was detailing a notorious caper or painting the scene of a long-forgotten scandal, Tony’s storytelling was so engaging it felt like we were accomplices to the history itself. A pleasure to listen to? That’s an understatement—Tony’s the kind of guide who could make a lineup sound like a stand-up routine. Book this tour, and let Tony lead you through the mean streets of Beacon Hill with a grin and a grim tale!

Tony was amazing! - 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.

Really bad experience. - The meeting point was Massachusetts State House, I was very excited to go, I did not have problems with the tour guy, but I need to write this so in case someone needs to cancel for safety concerns, I was waiting with my spouse, I am an immigrant, and there was a memorial for a political figure, right away I got nervous cause I felt something bad could happen, but I tried to ignore it and just wait for the tour guy, well, out of nowhere the guy who was putting the memorial got close to me and whisper to me (whatever you think you are gonna do do not even think about it) I turn around and I was like wth what did I do to you he repeat it himself and at that point I felt a very hostile environment so I started to walk away and two ladies nearby immediately said yeah leave, my spouse and I called the tour phone number (not the tour guy) and the woman who answered was very not understanding and told us I don’t care why they told you all that, but if you don’t go we are gonna charge your card, 35 dollars each so I was obligated to look for the tour, and I did and they were very close to were I got harassed, so be aware that if you need to cancel because you are concerned for your safety they won’t care.
