4.00The witch parts were my favorite. Glad I took the tour. Shared with my family. My Only problem was that the tour locked up in the Boston commons and I had to get it back for like 20 minutes
Chilly but good

5.00This tour went better than expected! I was impressed with the details about boston’s dark history. As a Bostonian, I appreciated the stories behind some of boston’s biggest landmarks.
Very disappointed

1.00I wish I would have know I didn't need to purchase 3 tickets. We only needed one phone because it was just me & my 2 kids. Waste of money. I just assumed it would be more interactive. Going at night everything is locked up so you can't get the real experience. Not what I was expecting at all.
