A Perfectly Spooky Night in Boston - We had an absolutely amazing time on our Haunted Boston tour with Julie! She was engaging, knowledgeable, and brought every story to life with the perfect mix of history and humor. We even happened to be there on the 337th anniversary of Goody Glover’s hanging—and right as Julie told the story, the wind picked up, which made the moment feel straight out of a movie. Talk about great timing! 😂🌬️ If you’re looking for a spooky, memorable night in Boston, definitely take this tour with Julie. Highly recommend! 👻

An actual ghost tour - This was by far the best ghost tour I’ve ever been on. It was an actual ghost tour, full of real stories and a lot of history of the city. Our tour guide was incredible and knew a ton of history about the city. He was great to talk to, listen to, and ask questions to. He answered everything and hung out after the tour to swap more ghost stories. There were no weird actors popping out to scare anyone (just real honest stories).

Well organized but overall just OK - Meeting place was easy to find. Tour started on time. Guide was very friendly and asked the group if they had any questions throughout the tour. It was an ok experience, and gave us something to do while visiting Boston. I’d say it was Ok. Not ghostly or spooky enough.

More of a history tour... - More of a history tour than ghost. Informative but not scary. The tour guide was nice enough. The entire tour is outside, it would've been nice to go into the Parker house or the other mansion in Beacon Hill.
