WHAT'S INCLUDED

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)!

It was a nice time despite the weather. More time is spent on the trolley as opposed to the actual graveyards. That worked out well for us but it’s worth noting for those that may be thinking otherwise. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.

My sister and I had always wanted to go on one of these tours, so we reserved our seats. Betty was an excellent guide! She was very entertaining and knowledgeable. The driver was excellent as was the other guide....sorry don't remember his name.

We took this tour on a cold, windy night in Boston, so the best part of the tour was that we were in a heated trolley. While the trolley has the option to be "open air," they do have plastic window coverings to use in cold/rainy weather - and we were sure happy about it! The tour guides were very (VERY) theatrical. Honestly, this tour is more of a "show" than a historic tour. Some of the tour guides/cast members were funny, others were a bit over the top. Our group thought it was "just okay" overall and would not do it again. You can visit all of the places we stopped at for free on the Freedom Trail walk. The main benefit to this tour was the trolley itself - to beat the cold weather and lots of walking.
