Full description

Explore Boston’s sordid past on this “frightseeing” ghost tour of Boston. Prepare yourself for an evening of fun, scares, and ghost stories guided by a 17th-century gravedigger. Your tour guide is dying to tell you tales of Boston’s dead in their own unusual way. On this tour visit the streets where the Boston Strangler once prowled and hear local tales of murder and mayhem, ghosts and ghouls. At Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and Granary Burying Ground, depart from the trolley and explore Boston’s two oldest burying grounds on foot.

Be warned, you never know what kind of ghoulish creatures you may encounter as you explore the gravesites of John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and others. Travel back in time and learn about the spirits of notorious characters who lived and died in Boston.

We got the tour last night, 07th June. It’s been a terrific tour thanks to the amazing performance of Vika, the actress who introduce in a scary night full of ghost stories happened in Boston. If it had been Hollywood, she would have got the Oscar Who knows? With these performances, we will see her in the big screen soon! Congratulations to all team too for making it possible.

Great tour of 2 of Bostons famous graveyards and a few sites along the way. the tour guides were personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I would give it 5 starts except we missed a few of the more important graves and it was hard to take pictures without risking getting left behind. still, I enjoyed it very much.

I don’t like to be spooked so thought this tour was excellent @ that…everyone was in great character and performed all the way through the tour! Cordelia (I think was the name of the driver) and she did an amazing job with driving and keeping everyone safe; the guy seating us started things off interesting; Stella & Dot did an amazing job on the commentary with great stories and how they told them. Wonderful tour!!
