Tour guide was nice but tour was underwhelming.

I went on a tour in the past with a different tour company, and we got to go into the locked graveyards. This tour only stops outside the gates of all of these sites, which was a bit disappointing, especially when we could see other groups inside the graveyards while our tour guide talked to us outside.

Great night

We had an amazing night filled with history lead by our tour guide John. Admission was easy and affordable. We did the extended tour and feel like it was worth it. The tour took us around the city. Highly recommend!

Best Blend of Spooky and Silly

Had an absolute blast! Booked the tour 15min before it started and was nervous since I didn't do any reserch into it. Had a great time with my friend and the guide was a blast. Telling good jokes, weaving a good story, and made sure we were safe navigating Boston at night 😆

Fun experience

Our tour was fun! Our guide was knowledgeable. She shared a lot of history and told a ghost story for each site that we stopped at. It wasn’t a scary tour but did send a few chills! We recommend taking it.

A Fun and Fascinating Ghost Tour

We had an excellent time on the ghost tour! Ellis was an outstanding guide—his storytelling was detailed, engaging, and really brought the city's history and ghost stories to life. He took us to several fascinating locations, and each stop had its own unique and interesting story. We were visiting as a family, and even our 11-year-old and 15-year-old thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was the perfect mix of history, mystery, and fun without being overly scary. It also gave us a chance to see different parts of the city from a unique perspective that we wouldn't have experienced otherwise. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you're looking for an entertaining and memorable way to explore the city!

Not spooky at all and didn’t get to go inside any of the sites.

We Never got to go inside any of the locations or graveyards and our guide was a poor storyteller. She was nice but not a good storyteller. She said umm a lot and didn’t have an emotion or dramatization in her storytelling. There was nothing spooky about this tour at all. It was very disappointing standing outside the graveyard gates while other tour groups went inside but our guide said it was closed and we couldn’t enter. This was a waste of money. I should have booked with ghosts and gravestones tours because they were going inside the locations.

Ghosts of Boston

Our guide was great, had a lot of really interesting information about the different stops along the way. A close area also, so it wasn’t too much walking.

Stop spamming me

You pay for them to spam you everyday after the tour asking for a review. Not worth the $26 for the harassment
