Incredible tour with our guide, Justin - We loved our tour with Justin. He was well spoken and personable, which made listening much more enjoyable. We went with a group of three collage age students for a fun night activity and were not disappointed. Justin did a good job blending the history of Boston with the eerie bits and pieces we wouldn’t necessarily have heard otherwise. We highly recommend!

Wonderful family experience - The guide was amazing and knew her facts well. She made it very entertaining and we all enjoyed it. We had to go back during the day to see several places she showed us.

Great Story Telling, Facts and Folk Tales - Justin was our tour guide and he was quick witted and extremely knowledgeable. He kept it fun! Was an enjoyable experience learning about the darker history of Boston, much of it related to the founding fathers. I will admit I was a little star struck seeing Samuel Adam’s grave. This tour definitely made me want to come back to Boston and explore the sites a little more in depth.

Rained out but still continued - Katie was a great tour guide. It was terrential rains with thunder and lightning and after about 30 minutes, the group was ready to call it a day. Instead of stopping the tour, Katie suggested that she continue her story telling at the haunted Omni Hotel. She had some great stories to tell and she even had a photo of a ghost someone she knew saw in the hotel. Katie said it was her first time her tour was rained out. She was very good at continuing the tour in spite of the rain.

Hard to hear tour guide and no entry into cemetery - Disappointed that the tour did not enter any of the cemetery’s and you only were able to view the cemetery from outside the wrought iron fences. Additionally, the tour guide would be aware of the street noise and it was extremely difficult to hear her without an amplifying voice box or something.

Skip it - We had seen good reviews but unfortunately our experience was not similar to those before us. The guide tried her best but seemed new and inexperienced plus the addition of training a dog with her tour duties did not work. The dog was somewhat aggressive. And would bark and actually came at me once. Not good. We ended at the Omni hotel which seemed odd.
