not a haunt tour really.

2.00this was advertised as a Haunted tour but there was little that was about haunts. the tour could have been held during the day when it was warmer, the night walk wasnt really effective.
Fun night with Charlie

5.00Charlie is incredibly knowledgeable about Boston’s history, easygoing and picks up on the mood and pace of the group — even the youngest members with the shortest legs (and most questions)! My 9 year old loved this tour and stayed up *way* past his bedtime, simply enraptured by Charlie’s stories. Bonus points for accuracy without silly made-up-stuff … real history can be (and often is) just as horrific/spooky as tall tales!

4.00We did this tour on the first night of our visit to Boston and it was a fun and engaging way to learn some history. Our guide Paul was friendly and captivating. Our teens enjoyed it! While there were some stories that may be considered spooky and didn’t leave the tour feeling like it was a haunted tour. Either way, we enjoyed it!
Great tour!

4.00While I love hearing about history, I expected to hear more haunted stories and see more haunted places. The tour started off slow. I would've liked to see the cemeteries that were nearby.
History with a side of ghosts

4.00This was history mixed with some fun ghost twists. It wasn’t scary. But history can be creepy without need for embellishment.
Enjoyable

5.00Paul was very enjoyable and knowledgeable. We wish there was more to the food tour part since we paid extra for this tour specifically for the food experience, but we still had a good time.
