Excellent value - It was an absolute thrill from start to finish. As an avid fan of supernatural tales and history, this unique adventure exceeded all my expectations. Every stop on the itinerary was captivating and filled with suspense. I appreciated the variety of stories, ensuring that there was something for everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge of Boston's haunted past. It allowed me to explore at my own pace, pause to take in the surroundings, and even revisit certain spots that intrigued me the most. The flexibility to embark on this adventure whenever I wanted made it an ideal option for solo travelers or those seeking a unique experience with friends or family. Highly recommended!!
