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.

    Tour guide did not show up. We waited 20 minutes and left. No notification was given and no communication was made so we left.

    History with a twist on the paranormal

    Mary_E, Jul 2026
    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.

    Justin was a great guide!...

    Kim_H, Jul 2026
    Justin was a great guide! He has some acting classes in his background that really made his stories come to life! I really enjoyed hearing the parts of Boston that you don't read about in the history books.

    nicole_n, Jul 2026
    unfortunately this was not a fun tour for my group. our tour guide was a nice man but he wasn’t enthusiastic or a good story teller. the tour was very dull and boring. i’ve been on many tours like this in boston in Salem and this is the first time I’ve ever left a tour early. disappointing.

    Cynthia_B, Jun 2026
    Viktoria was a fantastic guide. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience so much fun. I learned a ton about Boston that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. Highly recommend!

    Five Stars for Justin!

    Heather_S, May 2026
    Justin was fantastic! He was theatrical, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about both the history and the ghost stories. He shared some truly creepy tales that had our jaws on the floor. The rain kept everyone else away, so we ended up with a private tour, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

    Ghosts and History

    Kristen_R, May 2026
    Justin was great! My teenagers were not thrilled of the idea of a ghost tour in the middle of a drizzling rain. But Justin had us all hooked! We had a blast!

    History and ghost stories!

    Megan_L, May 2026
    We had such a great tour! Justin gave us the best mix of history and creepy stories/urban legends, and went above and beyond showing us around the city. I would definitely recommend!

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

    Pick up the pace!

    Brian_R, Apr 2026
    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

    Cynthia_H, Apr 2026
    Good stories for all ages. Easy walking. Dress for the weather. Boston full of good stories and history.

    Great history

    Karen_F, Apr 2026

    Justin was great. Lots of interesting stories. We really enjoyed the details about the Parker house hotel. Creepy stuff.

    Awesome Spooky Escapades

    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.

    The tour way great! So...

    Brannah_B, Nov 2025
    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!

    Kelly_G, Nov 2025
    Kime our tour guide was phenomenal. She had excellent energy and we loved her style of telling a story because she had our attention the entire time. We live in Boston, so this was something fun and different to do to really get to know the city more!
