What To Expect

Ghosts & Gravestones

Step aboard the trolley of the doomed and join your host, a 17th-century grave digger, cursed with a sentence of eternal damnation. This wretched creature is doomed to travel the streets of Boston and relay the stories of the unfortunate souls he encountered and the macabre events he had been witness to during his purgatory. Hear about Boston's most sinister characters - from the Angel of Death to the king of all killers - the Boston Strangler. Learn about all the haunts that call the "Hub" their home. But that's not all! Step inside two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston for a walking tour you will never forget. Learn the significance of much of the imagery found in these 17th century burial grounds and the famous and not so famous (but even more interesting) occupants therein. Visit Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the North End, nestled atop the tallest point in one of Boston's oldest historic districts. Here you will visit the final resting place of Cotton Mather, a man famous for his "intimate" involvement with the Salem Witch Trials. Then to the Granary Burying Ground where you will visit the final resting places of many of the famous heroes of the American Revolution including John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. Remember that half of the tour is walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended (so you don't become "dead" on your feet)!

Dottie was a great tour guide. She dealt with traffic problems well. The tour was a nice mix of on the trolley and in the graveyards.

My friend and I were so excited about this tour! We were sitting at the back of the trolley after 9PM (waiting to head out on our tour) when 1 of the tour guides came in and reprimanded us for taking up a 5 person bench in front of everyone on the trolley. We were planning on squishing over to one side anyways once the tour left so we could see out the window & had others hopped on the trolley we would have absolutely moved to accommodate. We just didn’t think anyone else was coming because it was already 15 minutes past departure time. Safe to say we started the tour on a sour note & it ruined the experience. Some jokes made in very poor taste regarding an incident that occurred same day. Overall funny and informative. Wouldn’t recommend this company due to poor customer service.
