This tour was really awesome! Very interesting, informative, a lot of fun, and not cheesy at all. I learned a lot of...Boston history along the way! Kurt, the owner and tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and obviously passionate about what he does. A great price point, and well worth the money! - Mary R.
This tour was very informative and interesting. Kurt is a great tour guide with an expansive knowledge of the area. We toured Little Italy on foot and visited many spots in the North End that you will not see on other walking tours. - Tim F.
Highly recommend! Kurt did an amazing job as a guide! I learned a lot about the history of Boston and also saw spots I had never seen in my many visits to Boston and the North End! Great tour! You don’t want to miss out on this one! - Ashlee C.
Very interesting and informative tour of the criminal history of Boston. Kurt is a great story-teller. Book this tour if you can! - Tammy M.
Kurt was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of local history. On the tour we got several great stories of riots and murders that happened in the North End, including some that were very impactful to the history of the country. In addition to being informative, Kurt made the stories very entertaining. It was only about a mile walk, so you certainly don't have to be "in shape" to do this walking tour. Highly recommend! - Niki L.
If you enjoy true crime with a bit of history mixed in, this is the tour for you! Many of the stories were fascinating and my husband who hates most tours in historic towns had some "huh, that's crazy" moments. We thoroughly enjoyed it. - Stephy M.
