Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and animated! Stories were well told and pretty scary. My daughter isn’t really afraid of much and she was totally scared so that was great! Easy to find the meeting spot. Great way to spend a fall night in Cambridge. Tour ended at the edge of a cemetery and walking through it after the tour was over was a perfect scary way to end the night. Highly recommend!

This was a nice walking tour of Harvard Square with very entertaining historical and spooky stories. Nate was a wonderful guide with exceptional knowledge of local lore and history. Our group had a few younger children and the stories were tailored for the kids as well as the adults. Would recommend to locals as well as visitors.

It is such an enjoyable tour that everyone can have an excellent time! It is so funny and I can see the docents enjoy their role play very much.
