Spine-Chilling Fun with the Best Tour Guide in Boston - We had an absolutely incredible experience on the haunted walking tour around Boston, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Charlie. From the moment the tour started, Charlie had us completely captivated with his mix of humor, historical insight, and genuine passion for storytelling. His ability to blend chilling ghost stories with fascinating facts about the city brought the haunted side of Boston to life in a way that was both entertaining and unforgettable. He kept the group engaged and laughing while still sending a few shivers down our spines. If you’re thinking about doing a ghost tour in Boston, make sure you get Charlie—you won’t regret it!

I'm here for the history - Charlie's suggestion to everyone to make time to explore their own homtown is very important. It was great hearing from a Bostonian who genuinely appreciates his hometown's history. The less sugar-coated explanations about the choices made by historical figures was eye opening!
My suggestion: Would you guys consider using be a voice amplifier in the future? The stories are so interesting, everyone should hear all the details without worrying about occational loud gusts of wind or traffic noises 😅.
Other that I had a great time on this tour!

Great tour thanks to a great guide - The guided tour around Boston’s haunted streets was very interesting, and thanks to Charlie’s friendliness and warm personality we barely noticed of the cold of Boston’s night! We 100% recommend this tour and Charlie as a guide in Madrid. Thank you!

Great history - We had a great time learning from Paul about the history of Boston. It all related to ghosts and spirits, it sure was spooky but knowledgeable too.

A highly recommended experience! - It was a very cold night and my sweetie and I were the only two guests on the tour. Paul was very entertaining and provided a lot of great information and fun historic facts about the great city of Boston. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend Paul as a tour guide to any Bostonian or visitor.
