Book this tour!! - A truly incredible tour! I learned so much about the history of Boston, and truly appreciated that Beth didn't shy away from some of the darker parts of the past of the city. While simultaneously explaining stories of ghosts and murders, she delved into the truth of gentrification and corruption here that led to many deaths. I was engaged the whole time, with her witty jokes and interesting facts. Incredible to learn about all of these events and be standing right where they occurred! I had a spooky, amazing time!!

Awesome - I did a tour with Beth on Saturday night, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. This is a great tour for a late night in Boston exploring the city and learning its history. All of us are college students in Boston, and not one of us had already known the spooky and fun facts Beth shared! We had so much fun too- Beth’s humor and knowledge of Boston made this tour lighthearted while keeping the spookiness and suspense of the true crime theme. I also appreciate that Beth shares a REAL history of Boston in this tour! She explained red lining and how it disproportionately affects poor and marginalized communities and racialized groups in Boston. It’s refreshing to hear a guide who acknowledges this past and its direct affect on the Boston we know today. Overall Beth is an expert in her craft, and I would certainly recommend this experience to a friend! We had tons of fun!
