Recommend this ghost tour - My husband and teens enjoyed this ghost tour. Jarrod, was our fantastic guide for the evening. The walking tour was like hanging out with a very knowledgeable old friend. We learned so much additional Boston history and lore that complimented the duck boat tour we had previously taken. No costumes. No jump scares. Just good old story telling. Highly recommend.

Excellent! - Our guide, Jerrod, was excellent. Entertaining, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He made everyone comfortable and kept our attention. We will do another tour when out-of-town guests visit, and even with local friends. Highly recommend.

Great stories! - My husband and I did this tour with Rachel on our first night in Boston. We enjoyed the history and the creepy tales that were shared as well as getting oriented to the city. Rachel was a great storyteller and kept our group moving and engaged. One recommendation is to be clearer about where to meet for the tour. The instructions state to meet at the Central Burying Ground, but it would be helpful to know which side of the grounds you should meet your guide. Including the street name would be helpful as we had a few people on our group scrambling to figure out where to meet the tour.

Very informative but... - Very informative but centered mostly around Boston Commons. I thought it would have went around more of the city.

Ghost tour fun time - This was an enjoyable experience. It was the first night my boyfriend and I arrived in Boston, so we were looking at things to do in the area we were staying at. This came up and had availability for us to attend. It was an enjoyable experience. We weren’t dressed warm enough for the weather, so I urge whoever goes to really make sure they check how the weather is and know themselves enough how well they can handle it. But the stories were interesting and our tour guide gave a lot of information in the 90 minutes tour time we had.

Great Tour - Fabulous tour. We really liked that it centered around the Boston Common, which is an area that looks peaceful and relaxing, but has a darker history.

Underwhelming - It was very disappointing, we have been to four different ghost tours before in London, York, New Orleans and Vancouver where the guide gets your attention from the get go with some dramatics, some jokes, maybe with an accent, maybe with their costume. I am sorry this one was so underwhelming that as a family we took the unanimous decision to leave after 45 minutes.
