See the Darker Side of Boston & Learn about It's Most Sinister Characters with this Ghosts & Gravestones Tour
This tour is guaranteed to raise your spirits! Step aboard the trolley of the doomed and see the darker side of Beantown. Your host, a 17th Century grave digger cursed with a sentence of eternal damnation, will guide you through the City and tell you about Boston’s most sinister characters, from the Angel of Death to the king of all killers, the Boston Strangler. You will learn about all the haunts that call the "Hub" their home and step inside two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston proper for a walking tour you will never forget. Next, you will visit the Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the North End, nestled atop the tallest point in one of Boston's oldest historic districts. Here you will visit the final resting place of Cotton Mather, a man famous for his "intimate" involvement with the Salem Witch Trials. Then it’s off to the Granary Burying Ground where you will visit the final resting places of many of the most famous heroes of the American Revolution including John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. This is a scary, fun and informative fright seeing experience that is truly one of a kind.

Product Reviews
Ghost Tour
"The set up is well done and the tour at 7pm as the sun was setting was fabulous for ambiance. They have to remove the chains and pad locks on the gates to let us in after hours. That was a nice touch. But they didn't show us John Handcocks grave or Samuel Adams and we walked in that graveyard. We realized later we had been right beside them. Maybe if they had pointed out more famous graves. It was creepy that there are so many people buried on top of each other and in the beautiful Boston commons park..."

Ghosts and Gravestones Tour
"Our daughter gives us a differnet experience every year for christmas, this past christmas she gave us the ghosts and gravestones tour. What a fun time we had. The tour guides were very interesting characters and were very knowledgable about the truth and folklore of boston. Being a cemetary commissioner for the city of chicopee, it was great to see some of the oldest cemetaries in the state. We would definately recommend this tour and maybe even take it again. We did the duck tour a few years ago and that was a lot of fun also!!!"
