Our tour was so much fun and a great way to get to know Cambridge. It was a full 90 minutes of the ghostly and interesting history of Harvard Square and Boston. Our tour guide made the difference; he was very knowledgeable and entertaining in an intelligent, not corny way. I highly recommend this tour. We plan to take the historical tour next!

Sam Jones was our tour guide and he was amazing. He was a fantastic story teller and brought all of the stories to life all around Harvard square and will make me think of the city in a totally different light going forward!

If you’re a local this is a great night out in your own backyard, and if you’re visiting Boston this is a fun way to explore Cambridge and hear some local lore. Our tour guide Nate had the perfect balance of our tongue-in-cheek humor, historical connections, and of course goosebump inducing moments. Such a fun night!
