Small groups keep the experience intimate as you walk the same streets where the hauntings are rooted in Boston's history.

The Experience

A costumed guide meets your group and leads you through the narrow streets of Beacon Hill and past King's Chapel and its adjacent cemetery, where the stories begin. The tour moves between walking segments and bar stops—you'll hear ghost tales about the Granary Burying Ground while standing in the bar across the street, then move on to a historic hotel where the guide reveals which guests never checked out. Each stop is chosen because the hauntings are tied to the place itself, not just nearby.

The 2.5-hour pace mixes walking with sitting; you're not on your feet the entire time. Small groups mean you can actually hear the guide and ask questions without shouting over a crowd. The route stays in walkable neighborhoods, though the operator notes you should have at least a moderate level of fitness for the walking segments. Public transportation is available nearby if you need it.

Bring a valid ID—all guests must be 21 or older. Alcohol is not included in the tour price, so you'll order and pay for drinks at each bar stop. The tour route and which bars you visit are subject to availability, so the exact stops may shift depending on the night. Service animals are welcome.
