A highlight to our time in Boston - We booked both the True Crime Tour and the Pub Crawl Tour in Boston and had an absolute blast. Tony was phenomenal—super knowledgeable, engaging, and a natural storyteller who brought the history and local lore to life. He kept the pace perfect, answered every question with insight, and made each stop memorable. These tours ended up being a highlight of our trip to Boston. If you’re looking for a fun, informative way to experience the city, these 2 tours would be a top recommendation! The pictures of our group were an added bonus! Thank you Tony, and Top Dog!
