Tour guides are fun AND educational! Lived near Boston all my life, and still learned a few things. Not really scary, but the guides do keep you on your toes!! More

We took this tour because my wife has an interest in ghosts. It was a fun tour but was equal parts ghost stories and stories about gravestones and gruesome things that happened in the past. Entertaining and worth going on at least once. More

I recently spent an enjoyable evening in Boston with Constance Caskette leading this unusual tour. All of the guides dress in period costume and spin tales of famous Boston killers and ghosts as you visit real graveyards. Constance did her job so well that my cousin and I can't agree on if her English accent was real or not! More

We always love doing Ghost tours everywhere we go... But We did not like this one... For some reason we did not feel the stories were true... I guess since our tour guy was making too many Jokes... some of them too innappropiate when we got to a Cementery. I dont think I would recommend it... Sorry. More

This was great!!! Our tour guide 'Constance Casket' was soooo good! My boyfriend and I (we are 24 & 26) thoroughly enjoyed this. We went to the 9 o'clock tour on Friday the 13th! You get to your 2 graveyards and learn really awesome facts about them, their history, and as you are driving around the city in the haunted... More

When I first when to this tour with my cousins, I thought it wasnt going to be all that fun, but boy was I sorely mistaken. The tour took us all over boston and showed us some of the many graveyards that are said to be haunted. Very fun, and the tour guide (Ash Burns) AKA Chimney Sweepy, was awesome.... More

Hi, I've been on the tour a few times and i was thinking maybe they could go to other cemetaries or even into some of the places where the hauntings happen. . . one was the hotel we passed by. . . i cannot remember the story for the life of me. . . but that would be so fun!!... More

We encountered this operation as we strolled near the aquarium. The macabre character out front captured my boys' attention. They begged to attend the tour. It was quite pricey, so I told them we'd have to wait & see. The next evening, we had enough left in the budget to sign up. It is a little gimmicky, with the characters... More
