What To Expect

Ghosts & Gravestones
Step aboard the trolley of the doomed and join your host, a 17th-century grave digger, cursed with a sentence of eternal damnation. This wretched creature is doomed to travel the streets of Boston and relay the stories of the unfortunate souls he encountered and the macabre events he had been witness to during his purgatory.

Hear about Boston's most sinister characters - from the Angel of Death to the king of all killers - the Boston Strangler. Learn about all the haunts that call the "Hub" their home. But that's not all! Step inside two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston for a walking tour you will never forget. Learn the significance of much of the imagery found in these 17th century burial grounds and the famous and not so famous (but even more interesting) occupants therein.

Visit Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the North End, nestled atop the tallest point in one of Boston's oldest historic districts. Here you will visit the final resting place of Cotton Mather, a man famous for his "intimate" involvement with the Salem Witch Trials. Then to the Granary Burying Ground where you will visit the final resting places of many of the famous heroes of the American Revolution including John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams.

Remember that half of the tour is walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended (so you don't become "dead" on your feet)!

Amazing experience
Melissa_R, 12-12-2022
Zed was amazing!! He was very funny and remained in character the entire time. The tour was super creepy and even took us inside graveyards after dark.. must do… We are avid “ghost tourers” and this is our favorite!!!
Fun experience

Very fun
Jessie_E, 05-12-2022
Boston is filled with a bunch of rich interesting History and I’m happy the crew really brought it to life with their enthusiasm and knowledge. A great experience for anyone skeptical about trying new activities, great locations we got to see and walk. 10/10
Don’t miss this!

Brilliantly done

Well versed and passionate guides. A great way to learn some things about the city. Lots of little details to add to the experience and some real laughs. Very punny
Great tour!

Fun and entertaining

Fun and entertaining tour. Learned some history and heard some spooky stories too. Definitely wear good shoes - some of the graveyards can be tricky at night.
Lots of walking
Brooke_V, 04-12-2022
Family fun outing in the rain with lots of walking. Over the top presentation that was okay. Probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone visiting.
Informative and Spooky
Hayley_B, 07-01-2023
Stella was extremely knowledgeable and was a great story teller.

We were surprised by how few stops we made and wish there had been more opportunities to explore the areas we had stopped. We were also dismayed by how huge the group we were with was. It would have been a much better experience with a smaller group of people.
good tour
Haylee_O, 07-01-2023
Good tour and great energy, not scary like the reviews say but very fun and a good length. Just wish it was scarier
