Overview

Discover the spooky stories behind Boston’s historic places on a self-guided walking tour that lets you explore at your own pace. Turn-by-turn directions lead you through the streets of Boston, from the Boston Athenaeum to the Central Burying Ground, while a narrator shares theatrical tales from the city’s past. Choosing a self-guided tour means experiencing the city on your own terms, with more flexibility than a group excursion offers.

Bring a portable speaker...

Phillip_P, Jul 2022

Bring a portable speaker would be my recommendation but otherwise a nice time with family. Can be done in daytime and I think would be just as enjoyable but probably louder with the city daytime activity.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for the great review and exploring Boston on the Walkntours App! Great tip, we highly suggest using earbuds, headphones or bluetooth speakers to hear the tour, and for this ghost tour a bluetooth speaker is perfect!

Great tour!

My family had a great time! It wasn’t actually scary for my kids ( which is probably good!) but we had a great time walking around and listening to it. I would recommend doing it before it’s fully dark, because one of the parks we walked through was perfect in the early evening, but at night is actually scary with sketchy people dealing drugs, etc.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you for the great review!!!! And thank you for using the WalknTours to take solo, smart phone navigated tours! Look for us around the USA :) The Boston Common can be an interesting place :) Spooky indeed!
