Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour
Description
Ready to meet the spirits that shaped a nation? The Ghosts of Boston Tour is your ticket to a thrilling journey through haunted history—where Patriots and phantoms go hand-in-hand. We’ll wander past eerie cemeteries, haunted homes, and Revolutionary landmarks where the ghosts of Boston’s boldest still linger. These aren't your average history lessons—these are true tales of spooky sightings, legendary figures, and locations so haunted they’ve been featured on Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, and beyond. From the founding of America to the footsteps of restless spirits, we’re bringing Boston’s past to life (or afterlife) in a way that’s fun, fascinating, and just creepy enough to give you goosebumps. Grab your lantern—adventure (and maybe a ghost or two) awaits!

We had a great time. Justin did a great job mixing history and the spooky. It was the perfect amount of scary for our kids and they talked about it all day the next day.

2.5 stars. The guide was very enthusiastic. However this was more a historical tour than a haunted tour. We were all disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you found your guide enthusiastic, though we understand that the balance between historical content and paranormal storytelling did not match what you were hoping for. Our tours combine Boston’s history with the legends, hauntings, and darker stories connected to the city, and guests can naturally have different expectations for that balance. We appreciate you sharing your perspective because it helps future guests better understand the experience. Thank you for joining Ghost City Tours and giving us the opportunity to hear your feedback.
Our guide was very enthusiastic about the tour. A behind the scenes look of historic events with a focus on some of the grim realities of the time and ghost legends.

Thank you for joining us, and we hope you’ll have the opportunity to explore more of Boston with us in the future.
This was a fine and enjoyable walking tour that was part ghostly and part historical. Some things I wish I had known before booking: This tour did not enter any graveyards. We stood outside on the sidewalk while other tours went through the gates and stood around the graves. It seems some tour companies have access and some don’t. It was a fairly large group, about 25 people. We could hear clearly, but it was less intimate than other groups we saw. I was surprised at the number of young children given the gruesome nature of some of the stories. Overall a very pleasant stroll around historic sites of Boston with some decent storytelling.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re glad you found the tour enjoyable overall and appreciated the combination of history and ghost stories. We also appreciate you highlighting the aspects that differed from your expectations, including the outdoor nature of the experience, group size, and family mix. Our tours are designed around the locations and format described in the tour listing, but we understand that guests may have different preferences for group atmosphere and storytelling. Your observations provide useful context for future guests considering the experience. Thank you for exploring Boston with Ghost City Tours.
