50,000,000/10 experience, best tour I've ever been on, our tour guide, Justin did a wonderful job of balancing historical information with spiritual information. He was very outgoing, friendly, and comedical. That guy deserves a standing ovation and 800 raises. He truly made the experience.

    Victoria was great!! She was funny and attentive. It was super fun tour and I would definitely recommend :)

    Pick up the pace!

    Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Boston and its history, but his cadence of each story was way too slow and it felt like he just needed to get to the point. The “ghost” stories were really just historical events and not creepy or spooky at all which were the vibes we wanted. In addition, it’s a “walking tour” but we really only went around the block and a tiny bit into Boston Commons. Being so cold outside it would have been nice if we did more walking and less standing. I would not recommend this, period, but especially with younger children, as it was boring for an adult.

    Great tour

    The tour way great! So much knowledge about the history and ghost stories of Boston! My only complaint was sometimes it was hard to hear because the tour was large.

    Great tour, Harlan was really knowledgeable, made it interesting and fun.

    Bethany_H, Nov 2025
    Wrap up warm because it can get a little chilly. Just a note, this tour does not provide access to the cemeteries you visit.

    Tour guide was great!

    We had a great time on a chilly fall evening. Loved the mix of history with spooky lore and tips on how to catch a ghost sighting. Kimmie was a great tour guide—it’s obvious she loves to tell tales and make it fun.

    A very knowledgeable Bridgett gave good and informative information on our ghost tour. The tour lasted just over an hour and ended where we started. Her voice was very quiet and hard to hear in many places. Strongly recommend using a microphone as others were.

    Rebecca was kind and engaging and fun. She made the tour interesting without making you believe in ghosts, which in the end made you believe in ghosts !

    Thank you for sharing this! We’re delighted to hear that Rebecca’s engaging and fun style made the tour so enjoyable. We love how she blends storytelling in a way that keeps things interesting—and maybe even a little spooky by the end.

    This is a fun tour! Justin was a great guide, he was able to project his voice so you could hear him clearly even on the side of the street. I learned some interesting historical tidbits with a bit of amusing lore.

    Thank you for your feedback ! We’re thrilled to hear Justin made your tour unforgettable!

    Justin was fabulous! Very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what we were looking for. He even spent a few extra mins of his own time to tell our kids one more ghost story! They had fun too. Highly recommend.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're so glad to hear that Justin helped make your tour truly unforgettable.

    Don’t waste your money.

    Revona_Y, Jul 2025
    This tour was so disappointing. We didn’t get to actually go into the cemeteries at all. Just looked from the street. Guide didn’t seem too sure of the stories she was telling and was hard to hear with all the traffic going by.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations. Access to cemeteries in Boston is restricted at night, which is why we share their history and stories from outside the gates. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our team to improve future tours.
