Had a blast - Our guide was fun. Heard some remarkable stories about 1634 Boston Commons, the oldest public park in the US. From public theatrical public hangings, frozen to death homeless pirates, killed in action British soldiers and so many others the historical records believe there are thousands of anonymous graves in the Commons. History is better than fiction.

Go thru the Tour company, not viator - Viator gave horrible directions and we ended up missing our tour. But the guide was kind enough to be willing to wait for us, we just did not want to hold the group up any further. Tour company fabulous, Viator screws us once again…should have learned my lesson by now!

Fun and Informative Ghost Tour - Ghost tours can be cheesy, but this one definitely wasn’t! It was more storytelling based on real historical events, with the idea of hauntings raised as possibilities resulting from the macabre events of Boston’s “dark side”. Stephen was knowledgeable and engaging. I recommend an evening tour to enhance the eeriness.

Haunted Boston - I did not know Edgar Allen Poe was born in Boston! How cool. Our guide was really great at keeping our group engaged and safe walking around Boston at night. It was the perfect thing to do in the evening and learn about haunted boston.

Walk in a Dark Park with Stephen - We recently took the Dark Ghost Tour in Boston with Stephen as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Stephen’s deep knowledge of Boston's haunted history, combined with his captivating storytelling, made the tour both chilling and fascinating. He had a way of drawing us into the eerie past, sharing stories that painted vivid, sometimes horrifying, pictures of the city’s dark history. Stephen was not only informative but also polite and accommodating, ensuring we felt comfortable throughout the tour. If you're in Boston and enjoy ghost tours with a historical twist, I highly recommend this one!
