What To Expect
1
Ghosts & Gravestones Tour Boston
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)!

We really enjoyed the story telling from the dressed up tour guide and were very happy that the trolley was closed because it was so cold outside.

A fun, spooky graveyard tour with costumed guides that makes your trip a lot of fun. They have keys to the graveyards and you actually see the gravestones up close. Go with the spirit of having fun and gaining some knowledge, you’ll enjoy the journey. Went on a freezing night in January, but we kept it moving and were able to see a lot of historical people’s final resting places. Good times!
