How a Boston ghost tour works

  1. 1

    Pick your night

    Ghost tours run after dark and the good ones sell out on weekends. Check the widget above for what is actually running while you are in Boston.

  2. 2

    Book with free cancellation

    Most of these can be cancelled up to 24 hours before, so booking early costs nothing and holding out costs you the good guide.

  3. 3

    Turn up where they say

    This one meets at The Boston Haunted Pub Crawl starts at the Samuel Adams Statue located outside the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, located at 1 S Market Street. This is located at the intersection of North and Congress Street. This is where your tour guide will be waiting for you.

  4. 4

    Wear the right shoes

    You will be walking on old, uneven, badly lit ground for an hour or more. It is the advice every operator gives and most visitors ignore.

Free by daylight

Burying grounds older than the country

The ground is free by day. You are paying for the guide and the dark.

What you are actually buying

Boston's colonial burying grounds - Granary, King's Chapel, Copp's Hill - are public and cost nothing to walk through in daylight. A ghost tour buys you the narrative and, where an operator has it, access after the gates close. That is a real product. It is not entry, and any listing implying otherwise is overselling.

The taverns are genuinely old

A haunted pub crawl is usually a theme laid over whatever bars are nearby. In Boston several stops are eighteenth-century taverns that were standing for the events being described, which gives the format more claim here than in most American cities.

Small core, short walk

The colonial city is compact and the Freedom Trail already proved that visitors will walk it. A ghost tour is the same geography after dark, which is the easiest possible version of this format.

What a night here actually costs

Boston's 5 bookable tours start at $27 and run to $35, against a national ghost-tour median of $30 measured across 208 products. That puts Boston squarely in the typical band. The middle half of all ghost tours runs $25 to $39.25, this city sits inside it, and price is therefore not the variable worth optimising here. With 5 products the field is small but real - enough to choose between, not enough for competition to have weeded much out. Read the review counts rather than assuming. We feature it on price and review depth rather than on quoted reviews - GetYourGuide has not surfaced review prose for this product, and we would rather say so than show you another tour's reviews under its name.
