Great history - We had a great time learning from Paul about the history of Boston. It all related to ghosts and spirits, it sure was spooky but knowledgeable too.

A highly recommended experience! - It was a very cold night and my sweetie and I were the only two guests on the tour. Paul was very entertaining and provided a lot of great information and fun historic facts about the great city of Boston. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend Paul as a tour guide to any Bostonian or visitor.

Charlie was awesome! - My friends and I got the Go Boston pass which included this tour. Our guide was Charlie who was extremely welcoming and a wealth of knowledge. I liked how he included history and true crime along with the haunted stories. We learned a lot and had a great time. If you go in November bundle up for the tour as it was a very cold and windy night for us.

Great experience - Paul was amazing! Very artistic, personalized and involving both adults and kids of all ages! My teenage girls liked it not less than I did, and you know that it’s not an easy task to make teenagers to keep attention for almost 2 hours

Disappointing - We were so looking forward to this tour. However, we met at a park bench area and walked to the other end for our first "stop" The talk was not really interesting and the area smelled like urine. This was obviously a place that the homeless hung out. Then our next stop was to walk literally across the street. Still no real interesting information. A bit about a monument in the grassy area. We then walked a bit further. This tour was part of a package deal. If I had paid full price I would have really not been happy.
