Excellent True Crime Tour!
Tyler_D, Oct 2024
Omar was very knowledgeable and kept the group engaged. He introduced a variety of different elements into his tour. Great sense of humor as well. My wife and I learned a lot about Boston and its history through this tour. Some being mainstream, as well as other, lesser known events that had taken place.
Great experience!!

Fascinating and Thrilling Boston Crime Scene Tour
kngerrity, Sept 2024
If you're looking for a unique way to explore Boston, walk though the city's Northend and waterfront then the Boston Crime Scene Tour is a must! Our guide Omar Doherty was incredibly knowledgeable, with a deep passion for the city's rich (although sometimes dark) history. He pointed out the city's past including some events from Boston's early colonial days to present time. If you are looking for something different to do, enjoy walking, listening to stories from a true history buff and seeing the city from a different lens then this tour is for you! We had a great time!
Wonderful time
