2.00Host was boring, the tour was slow and there were only four stops. The destinations were right next to each other but we were paraded in circles to use up the time. Opt for another vendor. Definitely not worth the $125 i spent.
Spooky and historical

5.00Wow!! Amber was amazing! She was informative, funny, entertaining, and so nice! We had a tour earlier in the day and our tour guide should shadow Amber so they can learn to keep a group together and entertained. Highly recommend this tour! Thanks, Amber for making our trip to Boston so fun and memorable!

1.00The tour guide didn’t respond to my messages. When we arrived, there was no one there and nobody answered the phone number given. My children and I have been looking forward to this opportunity for quite some time. I hope we receive a full refund.

5.00If you want a quick jaunt around the Common coupled with some fantastic story telling, this tour is for you. Rachel, our guide, wove a great narrative and kept us involved. I learned some rather interesting facts about Boston in earlier centuries that were on the darker side. If you want something a little touristy, this tour is a good choice.
A fun spooky time
