Our group of 10 had an absolute blast on the night time tour. Our guide was a scream!! Very clever, great story teller, and well informed on history.

By far my favorite part of my trip to Boston. Definitely worth waiting until after dark to add tge extra creepy factor. The actors stayed in character and did a great job telling stories and bringing the ghosts to life. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone and everyone!

What a great experience- our guide “Dotty” was an exceptional story teller . We are a family of 5 with 11-16 year old boys and we all enjoyed this tour!!! It was fun and compelling and we loved our guide and Van The Man too. We felt welcome and entertained

Absolutely incredible experience. The tour guides were knowledgeable, the stories were a good mix of spooky and fun, and it was really cool to walk through the graveyards. We really enjoyed our tour guide. I cant remember his name but he wore the red vest and the hat.

The good parts: you get to visit a couple of really old cemeteries at night. The view from Cobbs Hill cemetery is amazing, and some of the facts about the graveyards are pretty interesting. Our guide was pretty funny.The bad parts: there is 0 element of fear. Our guide tried too hard to be funny. Of the two guides, one of them literally did nothing during the entire trip. While some of the facts mentioned during the trip are interesting, most of the stories arent. They are way too loosely connected with the places you are driving through. The bus has large windows and it gets pretty windy---factors which make hearing the guide really hard.During the trip, you just get to see two graveyards, and then drive around Boston hearing some fables. Is it worth nearly $45 per person? I dont think so.You can try out Ghosts and Gravestones. Some parts are fun. But if you decide to skip it, you wont miss out on much.

The Ghosts and Graveyards tour was the most fun we had in Boston, and we had a lot of fun. It was funny, informative and surprising. The guides really get into character. I loved going into the graveyards at night and getting to see the city at night. This is a tour I would take again.

Was a lot of fun and learned a lot of interesting stories and historical nuances of the times and city.

I was so excited for this tour, as Id heard great things. Unfortunately, I think we got the JV squad. Our tour guides broke character, and seemed to be making most of the information up. They didnt tell us anything we might have heard of, or any relevant information, just random stories that seemed unbelievable. I was hoping for some stories about places that may be Haunted, but we drove around for 90 minutes, only to stop at two graveyards that were across the street from one another. Nothing spooky or scary at all, just make believe. Very disappointed.

Tour was so much fun!!! Our tour guide, Anthrax (Sorry dude, dont quite remember your variation on it) was amazing!! I keep referring to him as riff-raff from rocky horror, once you see him youll understand. He was quite theatrical and funny while still being informative. The tour was beautiful. Trolley was very clean and comfy. Definitely going again!!!

I really enjoyed the tour! Fun costumes, knowledgeable storytellers and overall fun!I highly recommend it!Find Paul Revere or John Hancock s grave!

What a amazing show. Top notch talented group. Very well prepared and managed!

A great way to wind up a day touring Boston. The tour guides and trolley driver are great! We loved the stories about the more haunted aspects of Boston. Our guide for the night, Harlan Hayrast, was great. He was the perfect mix of humor and suspense. We also enjoyed the guide for the Granary graveyard (I cant remember his name).

The staff is super funny..we had a great time. We enjoyed every bit!

It was pouring. They should have cancelled the tour. The buses windows were steamed up so badly that it looked like the driver could hardly see. The bus has no seat belts.They stopped at a grave and made us stand in the pouring rain. It was so bad that the cheap umbrella that I had was leaking. Several people on the tour had no rain gear whatsoever. People were getting soaked during a relatively chilly night for a summer. All of this during a raging pandemic.The recklessness is remarkable. Driving customers through the rain in a bus without seatbelts disregarding their safety is bad enough. Add to that they expected people to stand in the rain on a chilly night during a raging pandemic. This type of situation is a lawsuit waiting to happen.Ill add that the tour guide was telling us, half joking, that she hated us all as she stood in the rain with no rain gear or umbrella. They also forced their bus driver to drive in unsafe conditions. To expect employees to risk their safety is unconscionable. To risk the safety of customers is unethical to say the least.I am sure this is a great tour when its dry. Most businesses have a rain policy. For this outfit not to have a rain policy and refund peoples money when conditions are so bad boggles the mind.

This is a great tour and I would highly recommend it. We did this a couple of years ago for my daughter and had a great time, so we decided to do it again this year for my younger daughter and her friends. There was a mishap with our bus and the remainder of the tour was rushed and cut short. We had a group of 8 and felt we didnt get our moneys worth. Very disappointing. We were so impressed by Stella. She is a great story teller and she handled the the mishap very well.

Such a unique tour! Very fun with actors who know their stuff. Great stories and a nice mix of time on and off the trolley

This tour was a blast! I highly recommend. What a scream!! All the characters were great. They all played the part perfectly.

The tour guide and bus driver were nice. The marketing needs updating. I thought we would be on a walking tour, not a trolly. The trolly was a pretty awful ride, with 80% of the tour time spent on it, where our guide was clearly reciting a memorized script...and not very well. The other 20%, we were in a small cemetery. Our tour guide was telling us a story when another G&G tour group leader said THIS IS WHY I DONT TELL STORIES IN FRONT OF THE GATE and proceeded to lead his group in, past ours, as we stood there in silence and watched them enter. He was really rude to our tour guide, and yes, they were two sister tour guides on the same company running the same tour at the same time. The trolley actually sort of smelled like B.O., I think it was in the fabric/characters. Good try, and I feel bad for your stff, who are trying really hard.

Awesome experience!!! Very detailed

This tour was great! It takes you around to the oldest cemeteries and you actually get to go inside and walk around at night. You get a history lesson about all the things they dont tell you on the more friendly day tours. I highly recommend it.

As someone who is not fond of scary anything, I super enjoyed the history of Boston on the tour. It was creepy but not scary, and we Really enjoyed Jack our tour guide! Would love to see an option for venmo or paypal as ways to pay for gratuity. Had a great time, Thank you!

We saw this on a brochure and we we wanted to check this out and it didn’t disappoint. You go to two graveyards and they make sure everyone is distancing from each other. It’s very informative and interesting to hear all the stories of the graveyards. If you brought a kid it would be perfect it isn’t that scary it’s more of listening to the stories of everything. If I came back to Boston I would probably come back to do this.

Fun experience. lots of history in and around Boston. This ghost tour takes you to a few different sites. The employees are very knowledgeable and entertaining

Our graveyard tour was the highlight of the trip for me. We got a great mix of cool history and spooky stories, and they couldnt have been done greater justice than by our guide Dotty Mayham. Shes an incredible young woman with unparalleled energy. Our trolley driver Van was also outstanding and helped one member of our party load and unload a wheelchair at every stop. The experience was worth every penny and a generous tip to driver and guide! Id absolutely go again next time Im in Boston.

We were excited to go on this tour. It was in the middle of a heatwave and thought going out at night would be great. I enjoyed our guide Gertrude, but we had no warning that the first trolly stop required us to walk an extremely steep hill for a block. It was still warm out. I have a severe hip condition and my husband has trouble since he has a heart condition. The ticket booths or online description should warn people, this very much dampened our trip.

I’ve lived in Boston for a while & this was one of the best tourist attractions I’ve participated in thus far.The staff was incredible & really made the experience what it was!A great time for myself & friends.

Our guide was Amazing! I believe her name was Dottie and she was unfortunately dispatched by her crooked boss when she discovered his dirty bank deals. Her knowledge of the history and creative delivery was so entertaining even if the weather was working against us. Really fun tour!

Overall not impressed. I was expecting a lot more than just 2 cemetery walk through visits and a ride around Boston. The descriptions made it seem like you would check out some haunted/creepy places and get some cool experiences but that was not the case at all. Basically it was just a big history lesson on wheels.

Our family had a great time ! Great stories and histories...especially the graveyards. The trolley car drivers are to be highly commended for manuvering around the streets of Boston.

It was fun and very informative. I can imagine it must be very exciting around Halloween. I would certainly do it again. 10/10 recommended.

Fun time. Scary but not too scary. Good historic stories.

My boyfriend and I traveled to Boston from Denver and booked this on a whim. I’m a funeral director and love seeing cemeteries and this tour was FABULOUS. Our guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He also put a heckler in check in a polite way because he was ruining part of it and I appreciated that so much. Would go again and again.Amy and Nick

This was a super fun event. The stories were cool and the story tellers were even more cool. We totally enjoyed this experience and we recommend you doing a Ghost & Gravestones tour if you are in town.

Loved the tour! Wish it was longer!

I have done many of this before throughout the country and everytime was satisfied but I must say with this being my first time to Boston it was even better then the rest! The people were amazing and so on and so fourth! I would love to do this again!

Did the night ghost tour and it was really great. I’d recommend anyone to do this.

It was a great tour; we had a lot of fun and saw some really cool things. the tour guides stayed in character and were really awesome

This tour was a great ending to a day in Boston. My husband and I enjoyed the history and the ride around the city, and our three kids enjoyed the ghost stories. There is definitely something for everyone on this tour, and the tour guides are great. They are funny, engaging, and sarcastic- which we all loved. We would definitely come back and take this tour again!

Had a very nice time with our family. Our guide was great. She told great ghost stories and was very informative. Overall not as scary as I thought.

Great time! Learned so much about the city. The hosts are great and very informative. Must wait for the dark though, ads that spookiness to the adventure. Be ready to scream!

We went on the ghost city tours the night before (on Friday the 13th) and it was so bad that we booked a tour for the next night with Ghosts and Gravestones and boy are we glad that we did. “Gertrude” and “Vica” led our tour and they were fantastic. This is more than a ghost tour. It’s an experience.Hands down, Ghosts and Gravestones are the best in town.

Great tour the guide was fantastic and very entertaining. Learned some pretty cool facts. It was rainy and cold when I went but it was a blast. The whole company went above and beyond would definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable and humorous. I would definitely recommend this tour for someone that likes history and knowledge. For warning though there is some walking though the cemeteries and one is up a hill.I did post two pictures from our tour. The first one is on Pauls grave with the flash. The second one is with a flash also but in the middle of the two graves there is some sort of white light which is not my flash. I took a serious of shutter pictures in the same frame and that was the second one.

Definitely worth the hype! I love creepy stuff like this! The tour guides were amazing! They told great stories, dressed the part. We went to 2 graveyards and got shown downtown buildings with creepy backstories. I was nervous about the cold but they kept the trolley warm. The only thing is if you arrive early, just wait in front of the trolley place. It wasnt open and the signage wasnt too great about what to do so I had called. Great Boston experience!!

Loved this tour! It was one of the best parts of my brief trip to Boston. The guide was knowledgable and entertaining. It was so much fun to see some of the darker side of Boston. It made you feel like a part of history.

Fantastic tour guide. Thanks Mercy for a great time.

We loved, loved, LOVED our experience here! We got to see so much of Boston, explore two cemeteries, and learn so much about the history of the area. We had Dorothy and Violet as our guides, and they were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely entertaining. I would absolutely suggest this to anyone in the Boston area who wants to experience something fun, spooky and wonderfully irreverent.

Excellent tour given by an amazing story teller (he used the last name St. James, I apologize, I dont remember his first name). A must do if you like stories of the darker side of history.

I had such a great time on this tour. 90 minutes never had felt so short! Bernard was our tour guide and he had us laughing the entire evening!! I was not expecting the amount of fun and laughs that I had on this tour and would highly recommend it if you’re in Boston or are planning a trip there! It gives Boston’s history a refreshing (and spooky) perspective.

We were looking to end a 2 week northeast adventure with something fun & unique that didn’t involve anymore walking during the heat wave. After reading rave reviews of this tour we were excited to learn about some spooky Boston history!•EXPERIENCE:Sadly our experience didn’t match up to the hype but mainly due to our guide, not the tour itself.We weren’t able to catch his name as it was VERY difficult to hear what he was saying even after turning up his microphone when others on the bus complained. He repeated stories or questions a few times after loosing his place & generally seemed to be having a bad night and wasn’t into the whole experience.During our 2nd graveyard stop another actor (Atticus) stepped in & was instantly engaging, hilarious, and easily heard by everyone. He was by far the best part of our tour & received the most spirited thanx from our fully packed bus as we left him behind.As we drove back to the north end we’re asked to scream at people on the street….which feels like being forced into promotion for a tour thats not really about being scared (we knew this going in so no disappointment there).•VALUE:The bus drove around the same 3-4 city blocks, parking in the same location each time for our walk to the 2 graveyards.I understand the need to space things out with multiple buses going at once….but it was a bit odd to not see anything we wouldn’t see walking around downtown (besides the pathways of pitch black chained-gate graveyards).I can also appreciate $5 of tix goes toward conserving historic graveyards…However, judging by the # of packed buses operated by this company that we saw during our time in Boston (including ours) they’re quite busy.Much busier than the MANY tours we did throughout our trip including historic mansions & houses, gardens, boat & food tours. All of which lasted much longer and were A LOT cheaper…we bought a membership to a Historical Society allowing entry to multiple mansions & acres of high maintenance gardens for less than the total for both of us to go on this 90 minute tour.That said, tourism tax is subjective so had the guide been more engaging or fun & had we been able to hear more of what he said we likely wouldn’t have felt the value was so poorly out of line.•NAIL IN DISAPPOINTMENT COFFIN ⚰️ :Our guide ended the drive with a bit meant to urge everyone to leave a tip…so although we didn’t have anything smaller than a $20 we didn’t wanna feel like jerks while disembarking - which just added to the sting of the whole experience.

This was one of my favorites while in Massachusetts. The tour was amazing. Everyone stayed in character the whole time. We got to see great places and hear some of the history behind the sites. The tour guide spoke to everyone the whole time and constantly interacted with everyone. Absolutely recommend.

Despite the Torrential down pour it was a great tour and the tour guide was great.

Fantastic ghost and graveyard tour. Our tour guides (Dotting Mayhem and The good Doctor) were amazing story tellers. Thanks you!

It wasnt too scary the characters acted well and were funny 😄.

This tour did not any of our expectations. The tour was boring and the acting was very poor. It was advertised to be 90 minutes but only last 60 minutes. There were only 2 stops and the rest of the tour was spent on the trolly. Do not waste your money!

Awesome tour and if youre in the area you should def check it out! Asher was our guide and he made the whole experience so much fun!

Actors were fantastic story tellers. Loved all the history lessons and grave yards. Wish there were bathroom options mid tour.

This was a great tour! The guides were informative, entertaining, and suitably spooky. My whole family had a great time on this tour. Id do it again in a minute.

When I first arrived and saw the guides dressed as Halloween characters, I thought...man, this is gonna be hokey. Boy, was I wrong! Our guide Dottie was beyond superb! Not only was she very informative, but an amazing comedic actor and story teller! We visited 2 amazing and beautiful old graveyards. John Handcock and Paul Reveres graves! I would highly recommend!

The family had a wonderful time. Will do it again.

Great way to spend an evening hearing about the darker side of Boston.

Spooky

Not sure where all the good reviews are coming from but I learned more from the plaques in the graveyards then the tour guides. It was a waste of time, they are too busy play acting then anything else.

This tour was a lot of fun. We took it at dusk, so it was hard to see details, but it made the tour even more spooky!

Amazing! Stella was our guide and she was a great story teller with a little sass! I wasnt sure how it was going to go when I saw the cast in costumes, but it was truly great. If your in Boston, go on this tour!

The tour was excellent. Guides were very knowledgeable, and great actors. They know the history well, and are very professional. IMO, this is a must do attraction in the area and would highly recommend to anyone. As someone whos gotten away from remembering some of Bostons history, it was a nice refresher, and is inclining me to do some more research into Bostons past. Keep up the great work.

We checked this out yesterday and have to say we had a blast. From the scary music pre loading the trolley to guides dressed up in character to seeing the city at night it was great. The tour itself is full of history, spooky stories and even some comedy. Its about an 90 mins and you’ll visit two graveyards while also seeing some of the haunted buildings around the city. Worth checking out for sure.

My husband and I booked a last minute trip to Boston, and came across this tour. We booked and joined the tour a few hours later. Every single employee was so nice and professional. We had Betty as our tour guide. She was informative and her story telling abilities were captivating. Her creepy, mad laugh was so on point; it sends shivers down your spine. You can tell that she loves what she does, and it spills over into the group. It was pouring rain and cold, and she was still full of energy and information! We had the best time, and I am so happy I dragged my husband along to do this with me!

Very funny. The host with the black cowboy hat was great!

My group had a fun time. A little pricey but it was enjoyable regardless!

This was a fun, fairly informative, and entertaining trip. The ghosts that lead you on the tour are funny, quick-witted, and know their stuff.Youll stop at two of the better known ancient graveyards in Boston, and theyll talk about the history of the yards themselves, and some of the people in them. We went on a cool summer evening, everybody on the bus was kept at a reasonable distance ( summer 2020 when social distancing protocols were in place), and the ride through town was informative and very nice itself.Dont let the title scare you, even young children wont be scared on this tour. families with younger kids could very easily do the earlier tour and not be worried about the kids coming back scared out of their wits.

If you ever wanted to take a tour of Bostons centuries-old cemeteries at night and in the dark, well, heres your chance. Not necessary, but if youre unfamiliar with American history, especially about the American Revolution, I dont know how much youd get out of this. The names mentioned probably wont mean anything to you. But those of us who grew up with this stuff, it was neat hearing stories about American icons that they didnt teach us in schools. If you have mobility issues I dont think this is a tour for you. Theres some walking on uneven paths, up and down stairs, and did I mention that it was in the dark? So if youre looking for something cool to do thats out of the ordinary, then check this out.

I havent done a tour yet, I just went on the website looking for information to go on a tour.Website is Great, its Very detailed. My favorite part of the website, is that you can read under Haunted Guide about: Kings Chapel Burying Ground, Most Infamous Ghosts of Boston, Omni Parker House Hotel, Copps Hill Burying Ground, and many more.

This was an awesome tour I took tonight. I’m from here and the last few years me and the wife been wanting to go. Actors were fun and going into the graveyards was awesome . Only thing I’d say if you go is to try and show some enthusiasm. The people who work here can only do so much they need a little participation to make it flow. Either way it was cool I’d suggest to go and tip ! These people do a good job.

Great hosts wonderful tour very informative on the history of Boston

Gertrude was an awesome host for an evening of fun facts and trivia of Boston. The whole crew did an amazing job! Can you tell that I loved this ❤️

Most fun Ive ever had on a tour

The best thing we did in Boston! Our tour guide, Jonathon, was an incredible actor and gifted at improv - we laughed so hard. The trolley goes around town and they tell stories, stopping to walk through some of the most historical graveyards at night - we were the only ones in there - because they contribute part of the ticket revenue toward the upkeep of these historical cemeteries.PLUS the start point is literally right next to a T stop so, in the cold, it was very convenient to get to.Totally worth it - couldn’t recommend it more.

Fun and informative! Staff did a great job at sharing stories in a way that was captivating and scary. Dont miss this experience!

This was a fantastic tour. I would highly recommend going! They have the keys to the graveyards where other tours do not, so it’s a little more creepy walking around the tomb stones. Fun, funny and spooky all in one tour.

Lots of fun, even in the rain!

Fun ghost tour lots of good stories. The only thing is I say I was sitting on right side facing the back and I thought the tour guy was getting to close to my face when talking we both had masks but I was very uncomfortable.

Awesome tour highly recommended

Great tour with tons of interesting information!

Great show! Everyone stayed in character and told several true stories of Boston and some darker history someone may have skipped over in other tours.

This was a fun night out. The crew was very entertaining and provided great stories regarding our local history. I will definitely do this tour again

Had fun, a great way to learn about history

Its great fun. Entertaining and interesting facts. The whole experience was great. Would definitely do this again.

I highly recommend this tour, especially for people who are new to the city! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable & witty. It was an enjoyable experience.

Some pictures didnt come out

We went and had a great time. Very fun and the right amount of creepy/spooky. Definitely recommended.

Great tour, I enjoyed myself!

So much fun!

Disappointed - On the bus, I couldn’t hear the guide very well. The bus seats had sticky beverages spilled all over the seats. The main guide, Jack, was not very energetic which made it kinda boring. Dottie was the other guide who was amazing with her energy and poem skills.

Took this tour Sat night with a pal and had a blast. Violet was our ghost, she was fantastic, very animated and spooky. Extra points for complimenting my own Halloween top hat. This tour requires some walking, not too much, but it is dark in the cemeteries. There was a group of little kids, appx 9 years old, they all had fun and kept the other adults entertained. Violet easily held her own against them as well. Good for kids and adults alike, I highly recommend but adjust expectations - its not supposed to be scary or gory.

As someone who was hesitant to attend the ghost tour, I had a great time. Well worth the price if you are interested in visiting historic grave yards in Boston that you otherwise wouldnt have access to. I wouldnt consider the tour particularly scary, but more informational and interesting. I really enjoy history so Im glad I attended!

Like a lot of people, I really love spooky things. I also love history and a good fun fact is the ticket to my heart. I give two stars for the couple of fun facts thrown out there and the energy and passion of the tour guides. I think this tour would be good for parents with younger kids who want them to have some spookiness, but nothing that will be everlastingly scary. You visit two graveyards and it’s good history about the deaths of famous Bostonians, but that’s really it. The guides love their job and get into it but it’s pretty cheesy, even for me. Normally I would just not review this but the price was $40 per ticket which is a bit too high for what it is. Drink some pumpkin beer instead or go to Salem for some good old fashioned Halloween spook.

We did this tour on Friday, 13 Sept 2019. It was very good. Jack did a GREAT job. We visited two cemeteries. The first one was at the top of a BIG hill. A steep climb. The stories Jack told were relevant to the time of the persons buried here. At the second cemetery, a young lady told us about several of the famous persons buried there, and a few stories of the past.

Had an awesome time with my son here yesterday. So much history in Boston but to learn the back stories to things you thought you knew was great! Look forward to doing it again this summer.

We had such a blast with this tour from ordering tickets to getting off the trolley, everything was great. Loved the tour but the staff is what made it so memorable for us. They were funny, knowledgeable and never broke character. Id pay double for this tour, dont miss out!!!
