Good tour

Heidi_d, Jan 2022

The witch parts were my favorite. Glad I took the tour. Shared with my family. My Only problem was that the tour locked up in the Boston commons and I had to get it back for like 20 minutes

Boston’s dark past!!

Damien_D, Oct 2020

This tour went better than expected! I was impressed with the details about boston’s dark history. As a Bostonian, I appreciated the stories behind some of boston’s biggest landmarks.

Response from Host, Oct 2020

Thanks for the great review! We love sharing Boston's history and stories, and glad you enjoyed it! We plan to have more haunted tours next year in the North End.

Very disappointed

Audrey_K, Oct 2020

I wish I would have know I didn't need to purchase 3 tickets. We only needed one phone because it was just me & my 2 kids. Waste of money. I just assumed it would be more interactive. Going at night everything is locked up so you can't get the real experience. Not what I was expecting at all.

Response from Host, Oct 2020

Hi Audrey, I’m sorry the tour was not what you expected and thank you so much for the feedback. Our tours are on demand, smart phone self guided experiences. And unfortunately some of the stops, like the burial grounds, are run by the National Parks or city and have opening hours. For the best experience we suggest everyone uses earbuds on their own phone, but you can certainly use a speaker on one phone for a group to hear. Some of the stops on the tour are public, like the parks, but some are private hotels with certain opening hours, as you noted. I'm sorry this is not what you expected. I have given. you a full refund. Thank you for your feedback, we are a new and small operator and your feedback is helpful for us to create improved experiences in the future.
