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)!

    This tour was such a blast! The tour guides were funny and played it up while also keeping it real if that makes sense. So cool to be in 2 different cemeteries at night. All around good fun!

    Tour guides were super entertaining! Our whole trolley was there early so they actually left at 7:45 instead of 8:00. I really appreciated that!

    On Viator description it says there will be max of 20 people to a group, but we had almost 40 in our group. The bigger group made it more unwieldy and harder to hear the guide talking. We were hoping to hear more specific stories of ghosts and hauntings, although the guide did share a few.

  • Great last minute mini adventure!

    We weren't sure what to expect, but were hoping for something chill with a little spookiness, and they delivered. The ride felt great at night (early Oct.); the graveyards, creepy history haunts, and characters created an enjoyable seasonal experience.
