Join a 2-hour haunted pub crawl in Boston with small-group stories, historic stops, and a cold Sam Adams along the way.

“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…”
