Great evening of crime history and fun - Mic was an engaging and authentic guide who shared Boston’s long history with crime and history and reflected the charm of the city & its people in this walking tour. His pace was comfortable (not too slow or too rushed). Teens and adults enjoyed this tour. The tour took us to places in Boston we wouldn’t have seen otherwise which was an added bonus.

A fascinating true crime tour, with a little Latin and history thrown in. - Tony is great! We were informed and entertained for two straight hours. He has deep Boston ties, and it’s obvious he has worked very hard to add to his knowledge of the crimes he describes. The tour offers a great intro into Boston, its politics, its history, and specifically a lot about the Beacon Hill neighborhood. I would recommend this tour to any crime junkie, or somebody who just wants to learn more about this part of Boston. If you’ve ever sat around wondering what Anthropodermic Bibliopedgy means, this is definitely the tour for you!
