Little bit of history made this ghost tour great! Not too much walking and hit the main areas well!!
Not a great tour. The guide was hard to hear and not a great story teller. She seemed to not have a handle on the stories
Justin was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. We really enjoyed the history and the people on our tour.

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!

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.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad you recognized the guide’s knowledge of Boston and its history, though we understand that the pacing and balance of historical and paranormal storytelling did not match what you were hoping for. Our tours combine historical events with ghost stories and legends, and the experience includes walking and storytelling stops throughout the route. We appreciate your perspective on the amount of walking and time spent at individual locations, particularly given the cold weather. Your feedback is valuable as we continue working to create an engaging experience for a range of guests.
