Description

On this tour through Boston's dark side you will hear many dark and disturbing stories they like that are usually kept from the tourists. Topics include but are certainly not limited to the dangers of Richmond Street, the scourges of smallpox and the Great Influenza, the vandalism of the Royal Governor's House, the Molasses Flood, and the infamous Brink's Job all against the backdrop of Boston's oldest neighborhood, where the corpses on Copp's Hill moved around more dead than alive.

Winding among the labyrinth of small streets and alleys in the North End is a great way to get off the beaten path and explore a delightful neighborhood. It's even better when treated to stories of death and misery from Boston's checkered past. Join this walking tour for a thrill of crime, disease, death, and disaster – what better way to enjoy a pleasant evening in Boston!
