Overview

Meet Boston, after dark. The real Boston. The Boston of terrifying serial killers, infamous gangsters, urban legends, bizarre industrial accidents, unsolved crimes, ghost stories, and other extraordinary tales. Led by a Boston local, this is Boston like you've never seen it.

Our tour is capped to 15 guests so you are part of a conversation, not a lecture!

This 90 minute/1.5 mile walking tour takes you through two of Boston's most notorious neighborhoods; the North End and the West End. Please wear comfortable walking shoes.

This is not a kid-friendly tour. Children under 13 are not allowed, and parental discretion is advised for those 13 and up. This tour contains foul language, and discussions of death and violence. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Adults are responsible for their own and their children's behavior.

This tour will run in light rain. We will cancel for unsafe or unpleasant weather conditions. Tour requires at least two guests to operate.
