“So I originally booked it for 3 people at 7pm. Then they moved it to 5:30 which one of our party would no longer be able to join us. The driver said that was fine. When it confirmed my reservation it still said 3 people and would not allow me to modify my reservation so it charged me the the price for 3 people being $105. Then we were running slightly late because by moving it up in time put us right in the middle of rush hour. I texted the driver to see if he could wait for us. By the time I heard back they had already left…”

“Ghost tours can be cheesy, but this one definitely wasn’t! It was more storytelling based on real historical events, with the idea of hauntings raised as possibilities resulting from the macabre events of Boston’s “dark side”.
