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)!

During our stay in Boston over Halloween weekend, my wife and I went on the Ghosts and Gravestones tour. We had gone on the Hop on, Hop off trolley earlier in the day, so we were excited for this adventure. And they did not disappoint! The guides were dressed in haunted character, which added to the spooky feel of the evening. The trolley played a spooky soundtrack, and our guide, Niobe, was offering portraits as we waited for everyone to board. Let me just say, I HIGHLY recommend getting one. As the tour began, Niobe’s storytelling was phenomenal. She was so invested and dedicated to telling us about the spooky history of Boston’s most haunting residents. Her energy and humor was unmatched. We visited a graveyard, learned an abundance of information, traveled the streets during the evening, and stopped at other spooky locations within the city. We were supposed to stop at another graveyard, however, it was pouring rain by that point. The guest guide did board our trolley and told us the stories of the location, which was appreciated much more than skipping the stop all together. I also want to give a shout-out to our driver, Hercules. This guy is the best! We ran into him at Al’s Sandwich Shop, and he gave us a recommendation of what to get while he saw us looking over the menu. As we were walking back to the hotel, we ran into him next to his trolley and we had a nice conversation. As fate would have it, he ended up being our driver for our Ghost and Graveyards tour, and he remembered us! Afterwards, he gave us the best dinner recommendation. Such a nice guy, and a great driver! All in all, take this tour. You won’t be disappointed! The staff members are the best, and make the trip so enjoyable!

I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the reviews but decided to give it a shot. I’m a big Halloween/ghost tour fan and hard to impress. The tour was fun, informative and maybe scary for some The guides/actors were hilarious and had amazing energy. Thank you for a fun Halloween tour!
