Fantastic Beacon Hill Crime Tour - We had a lot of fun on our Beacon Hill "True Crime" Tour with Andrew! The stories were fascinating, and just the right amount of spooky yet funny and interesting – a perfect mix of history and intrigue that kept everyone interested. Walking through the charming streets of Beacon Hill at night made it all feel so immersive and fun.Our guide Andrew was outstanding – knowledgeable and an incredible storyteller. What really stood out was how well the tour worked for our family group: we had our 12- and 14-year-old kids plus my 80-year-old in-laws, and everyone loved it equally. Highly recommend this tour – it's a unique and entertaining way to see Boston!Thanks again, Andrew – you made our evening memorable!

Impromptu Private Tour - Andy was great! When we arrived, he told us we were the only 2 booked for that tour time. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and had an excellent ability to set the scene and provide specific details to each story.

This is absolutely worth making part of your trip! - Everything was perfect. The cost of the tour was well worth the experience. Tony knew the facts and his delivery was entertaining. He made all feel welcome & was very personable. The tour was 2 hours and went by so quickly. The next time I’m back in Boston, I will be booking at least one walking tour, maybe more!

Highly recommended!! - Tony was awesome! Very personable & well versed on the topics. We got to see areas of Beacon Hill we wouldn’t have known existed. The 2 hours went by so quickly because Tony kept the conversation going between sites on the tour.
