    Tour guide seemed like...

    Tour guide seemed like she didn’t want to do a tour that night. Very negative about the fact she had to do a tour by herself because no other guides could work. If only one guide, tours should be capped on how many could go. Also, if a bar crawl is part of the tour, why aren’t there any pre-arrangements with the bars that will be visited. Guide kept saying, “it’s Saturday night, in October, in Boston, so who knows what bars we will visit”. After our guide talked up how great the Irish coffee is at Emmett’s, we could not go in due to capacity. We actually left the group after the first bar and started doing our own boos and booze tour. First stop, Emmett’s for the Irish coffee our guide hype us up about but couldn’t go in with the tour group. Also, if we stayed with the tour we would have been rushed at each stop. Overall, tour was very disappointing.

    Too packed, basically paying for a bar crawl without the ghost stories

    It seems a cap for this tour does not exist as our group had 52 people to start. Then they split us in two groups with 26 people each. We spent more time in pubs than hearing any ghost stories. Total time in pubs was probably 2 hours while 30 minutes was broken up stories that weren’t even ghost stories. Additionally, the bars were not prepared to receive a group of 26 people so ordering drinks was impossible and most people left before the tour even ended because of how packed the group was. Would not recommend

    Disappointed seasoned pub crawl participants

    I have been on haunted bar crawls in multiple cities and this was disappointing snd we ended up leaving early. The group was too large so they split into 2 groups. Nothing against the guide. She was very fun but the tour was disorganized from the first stop. There should have bern a designated area at the pub. We left during second stop because the bar we were supposed to go in did not let most of the group in. This has potential but needs better organization

    Boos and Booze Fun!

    The tour was great! Our guide, Max, was informative and hilarious! The group of people with us were very interesting and very enjoyable as well! Our entire group continued on together with the boozey part after we were done with the official tour. ;)

    Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Boston.

    How much does Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Boston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Boston is not rushed.

    Is Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 139 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Boston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    Around 49 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Boston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Boston and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Boston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Boston?

    +

    Boston is compact enough that a good walking guide beats any bus. Freedom Trail walks, harbour cruises, Fenway tours and whale-watch runs out to Stellwagen Bank are the core, plus Salem and Cape Cod as day trips. Outty Ranking weights guide storytelling and group size heavily, because on the Freedom Trail the narration is the entire product. On Outty we rank every Boston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Full Revolutionary Story Epic Small-Group Boston Walking Tour, Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour, Boston's Freedom Trail: A Revolutionary Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Boston?

    +

    May to October. Whale watching runs roughly April through October only. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Boston?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Boston Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    Included: Documented accounts of historic hauntings; Intensely researched true stories of haunted history; and Professional and courteous tour guides. Not included: Transportation; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
