5.00Our 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. 😉
Great Story Telling!
