Great Stories - Julie, our tour guide was an excellent storyteller! She kept you very engaged, especially since it was very cold and windy during our tour. The tour lasted approximately one hour and 20 minutes. It is all walking and standing, with no place to sit down. If that is an issue, I don’t recommend this tour. The cost is $25 per person which is priced perfectly. This tour definitely gives you a different perspective on Boston.

Fun tour full of information - We met our tour guide Harry at the entrance to the cemetery. Right away I knew it was going to be great. He is full of so much trivia and is a great story teller. We learned tons of new things. I see the city and the birth of our nation in a different way.

Boston at night in a different light - Valerie was an excellent tour guide. She made the tour light and very interesting. She would add nuggets to each story that brought them to life.

Haunted Tour and Surprise Connections - We had an awesome time on our tour! Our guide Zack was enthusiastic and accommodating. He gave us a tour of lesser-known history and made a chilly night for walking pass pleasantly. When we realized he was a former student from out of state where my friends and I teach, he went above and beyond to make connections to our shared school district. He made this part of our visit memorable and fun!

Super fun! - Zach was really funny and informative! Great tour guide and a great experience for all! A lot more macabre history just within a few blocks than you would’ve thought.

Meh - Not very scary. The stories were long winded and not very engaging or interesting.
