Underwhelming
There was a lot of waiting around and didn’t seem very well put together. Some history shared, guide was nice but wasn’t the best use of our time and money.

A Great after dark tour.

Fun spooky event
The guides are knowledgeable and told stories we would not have known otherwise. We had a fun time with our guides. Make sure to wear comfy shoes, as this is at night through the streets of Boston. One thing that would be helpful would be reservations at the bars along the way so the bartenders are prepared for a large influx of people.

Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Boston.
How much does Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 170 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 Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost 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 Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Around 59 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost 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 Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Included: Stories of local hauntings and ghosts; Visit local, historic bars; Small groups; 2-2.5 hour walking tour; and Costumed tour guide. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour?
+
The tour meets at The Last Hurrah, inside the Omni Parker House, at 60 School St. Boston, MA 02108. Please try to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for check-in. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Haunted Boston Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
