    Ghost Tour w/ Harlan 👍

    Had a great experience with Harlan on the walking tour! He was very engaging and personable. Our tour ended up being a small group (just 2 couples) which made it easy to hear and engage. Recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out.

    History tour with brief mention of ghosts

    This was more of a history tour than a ghost tour. Guide did not emphasize the ghost part of the stories.

    via Tripadvisor

    Ethan_W · September 2026

    Great tour!

    Little bit of history made this ghost tour great! Not too much walking and hit the main areas well!!

    Not a great tour

    Not a great tour. The guide was hard to hear and not a great story teller. She seemed to not have a handle on the stories

    Wonderful Guide

    Valerie was a great tour guide. The tour was family friendly and our 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed. The meetup spot was easy and the length of the tour was perfect for our family.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad Valerie helped make the tour an enjoyable experience for your whole family, especially your 6-year-old. It’s great to hear that the meeting point was easy to find and that the tour length worked well for your family. We love creating experiences that can be enjoyed by guests of different ages, and we’re delighted Boston’s spooky history made for a memorable evening. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Valerie!

    Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 317 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 Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 111 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour 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 Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour?

    +

    Meet your guide outside King’s Chapel Burying Ground (next to King’s Chapel church), near 58 Tremont Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour?

    +

    Is Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Ghosts of Boston Night-Time Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
