The tour was great! Our guide, Max, was informative and hilarious! The group of people with us were very interesting and very enjoyable as well! Our entire group continued on together with the boozey part after we were done with the official tour. ;)

Unorganized

Diana_F, Oct 2026
2hour tour after 1 1-2 hour we were still at the first pub hardly any spooky info neither of the pubs she tried to take us to were expecting us so the first one turned us away, and the second made us just stand in the back. It’s now 9 o’clock. The tour should be over, but we barely got started. None of the stops that we went to were expecting us and seemed to be inconvenienced or put out that we were there. This two hour tour will take at least 3 to 4 hours. After two hours, we’ve only been to one pub it is marketed as a pub crawl. The lady was super nice, but it was so unorganized.

Best haunted pub crawl ever

Joyce_F, Oct 2026
So much fun! Eileen made the whole tour amazing. We loved the bars we visited and loved the ghost stories/history!

Tour guide seemed like...

Chris_L, Oct 2026
Tour guide seemed like she didn’t want to do a tour that night. Very negative about the fact she had to do a tour by herself because no other guides could work. If only one guide, tours should be capped on how many could go. Also, if a bar crawl is part of the tour, why aren’t there any pre-arrangements with the bars that will be visited. Guide kept saying, “it’s Saturday night, in October, in Boston, so who knows what bars we will visit”. After our guide talked up how great the Irish coffee is at Emmett’s, we could not go in due to capacity. We actually left the group after the first bar and started doing our own boos and booze tour. First stop, Emmett’s for the Irish coffee our guide hype us up about but couldn’t go in with the tour group. Also, if we stayed with the tour we would have been rushed at each stop. Overall, tour was very disappointing.

Disappointed seasoned pub crawl participants

RhondaY_C, Oct 2026
I have been on haunted bar crawls in multiple cities and this was disappointing snd we ended up leaving early. The group was too large so they split into 2 groups. Nothing against the guide. She was very fun but the tour was disorganized from the first stop. There should have bern a designated area at the pub. We left during second stop because the bar we were supposed to go in did not let most of the group in. This has potential but needs better organization

Nico was amazing. Nico is...

Justin_K, Oct 2026
Nico was amazing. Nico is very educated and informative. His subject matter with the topics discuss was impressive. I would highly recommend booking with Nico!

Boos and Booze Fun!

Pub crawl

Tracey_B, Sep 2026
If you like a pub crawl, then this activity is for you, but if you are like us. We don't, so it was ok, but not great

Our guide was left solo...

DeMaris_F, Sep 2026
Our guide was left solo to guide a group of 21 of us since the other guide called out leaving her hanging for sure. Despite this, she did a good job leading a very large group through the very crowded streets of Boston. It was a fun and quirky experience.

Love it, but lantern game is weak

Deborah_R, Sep 2026
Our guide, Max, was fun as hell. It’s clear he loves what he does! He needs a new lantern though. He was passionate about the tour he led, but the light was dim, I could only rely on his brilliant and bright shining personality to get us from booze to booze. Made some friends in the tour, we are buying haunted Airbnb and now we are bonded for life. Happy haunting. And get all guises a standard issue lantern. The one is Miami and New Orleans were different then Boston. Brand yourselves. But guide, 5 stars.

Fun at night

Jennifer_E, Sep 2026
It was a fun thing to do when visiting. Eileen was a great tour guide and very friendly and informative

Jesse was very passionate...

Jim_G, Aug 2026
Jesse was very passionate about her storytelling and the bars we stopped at all had great atmospheres!

Thank you!!

Thomas_C, Aug 2026
Amazing personable host. Eileen was amazing. We learned so much about Boston and had a fantastic time. Thank you!!!

Walk, talk, listen…and drink!

Joanne_G, Jul 2026
It was a fun, informative night. Jesse was a lot of fun. Each bar welcomed us and provided excellent service.

This particular guide...

Steve_B, Jul 2026
This particular guide seemed a little disorganized and did not have the same list of bars as advertised

What a Fun Night!!

Molly_M, Jul 2026
Eileen was such a gem and the night took on a life of its own. If you need an excuse to get out of your comfort zone and meet people, DO THIS. Also who doesn’t love spooky stories?? 10/10 would do again.

THE best ghost tour!!

Andrea_D, Jul 2026
Rocky was the absolute best tour guide! She is fun and informative and customized some of the tour based on our interests. She was extremely generous with her time and we recommend her to anyone wanting a fully engaging experience!! Thank you, Rocky!!

Caryn_F, Jun 2026
Rocky was an amazing tour guide. There wasn’t much walking on the tour. Most of it was at the beginning. We had a blast.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Fun Night

Julie_J, May 2026
We had a great time with Rocky learning about the history of some prominent and some not so prominent Boston figures. It was a great night had by all - a group of 10 of us celebrating a 40th birthday.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Julie, thank you for your ghostly awesome feedback! We’re so glad you and your group had a great time celebrating a 40th birthday with us. It’s wonderful to hear Rocky brought Boston’s history to life with stories about both its famous and lesser-known figures. We truly appreciate you choosing to celebrate with us!

This tour was actually...

Charles_S, May 2026
This tour was actually quite a bit of fun. We had taken the historical walking tour earlier in the day and tell the truth. This was just as interesting informative and quite a bit more fun tour guide was very good.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Charles, thank you for your spook-tacular feedback! We’re so glad you had such a fun experience and found the tour both interesting and informative. It’s wonderful to hear it stood out even after taking a historical walking tour earlier in the day. We’re also delighted that your guide helped make the experience even more enjoyable.

One of the best ways to...

Lisa_S, May 2026
One of the best ways to learn about a city or town is to take the local ghost tour! Rockie did a great job of making you feel Boston welcome along with a great deal of spooky fun! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, May 2026

Hello Lisa, thank you for your ghostly awesome feedback! We couldn’t agree more, ghost tours really are such a fun way to experience the history and personality of a city. We’re so glad Rockie made you feel welcome while adding the perfect amount of spooky fun to your night in Boston. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for another haunted adventure!

This tour is so so fun...

Veronica_L, Apr 2026
This tour is so so fun but if you’re coming in April dress warm because the Northeast wind is no joke. Either way, our tour with Max was well worth the wind burn.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hello Veronica, thank you for your ghostly awesome feedback! We’re so glad you had such a fun time on the tour with Max. The Northeast wind definitely likes to add its own dramatic effect in April, but we’re happy to hear the experience was still well worth braving the cold! Thanks for the helpful tip for future guests, and we truly appreciate you joining us for the adventure.

Snowy Night, Great Time

Jean_S, Feb 2026
It was snowing and we still had a blast. Alex was a fantastic guide—friendly, sharp, and full of great Boston stories. He kept the energy up and the group intrigued the whole night. Fun stops, good pace, zero stress. Would absolutely book again.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hello Jean, thank you for your ghostly awesome feedback! We’re so glad you still had such a blast despite the snowy weather.

Quick moving tour, but it...

Megan_A, Oct 2025
Quick moving tour, but it was a great pace for people who want a little history but not a deep dive. I liked the break with the pubs, and the pubs were all a good vibe. We went on a Sunday night and were pleasantly surprised at how good the group size was. Our guide Alex was super friendly and great at answering questions from the crowd.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! It’s great to hear that the tour was both enjoyable and well-paced, and that Alex contributed to a positive experience.

Boos and Brews tour Boston

Paul_D, Oct 2025
Our tour guide was exceptional! Very funny and entertaining! He kept us captivated with his stories and tour took longer than 2 1/2 hrs as he was willing to spend the time and allow that bars could take longer. Highly recommend this tour and Max our tour guide

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello, Paul! Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted Max’s humor and dedication made the tour longer but more enjoyable. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments!

Fascinating Information and Brews

Glenda_M, Oct 2025
Not a lot of walking. Fun bits of information and trivia learned. Nice to see bars i may not have visited on my own and to learn the history and traditions of them.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello, Glenda! Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed learning fun facts and exploring bars you may not have visited otherwise.
