5.00The tour was so much fun and I would definitely recommend it!! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept things engaging and dynamic the whole way through. We learned a lot, but it never felt like a lecture—there was plenty of humor and great storytelling. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something unique to do in Boston!

2.00Our guide spoke like he was reading. Didn’t have much personality to go along with the stories. Everything he said was from memorization, word for word. Definitely did not appear to have the passion that was in the description of the tour. Was pretty disappointed in the experience.
Interesting and engaging

5.00Enjoyed the tour - a beautiful area to explore and Andrew was engaging and he relayed the different stories so well - setting the scene as we stood outside the scene of the crimes.
Very interesting tour...

4.00The stories were interesting and most I didn’t know of previously. The guide was nice and engaging. This was a new tour so I expect once it’s been done a few months the guide will be able to tell the stories without notes. Overall enjoyable experience!
