Walking among tombs in the middle of Boston! - Our host, Lilly Winter, was amazing! She had this electrical, contagious energy that made the stories come to life. We couldn't believe that we were walking among tombs and tombstones in the middle of Boston! We had a great time and would easily recommend, just ask for Lilly. 😉

Fun Evening Activity in Boston! - A fun, educational and entertaining way to learn more about Boston's history...the parts not written in the history books or the placards of the Freedom Trail, etc. We enjoyed the walk and stories.
