Beacon Hill Ghost Tour

Boston Athenaeum, 10-1/2 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02108
Any place with houses so old and grand as Beacon Hill is bound to have a few skeletons in the closet. Our guides know where the bodies are buried (not literally), and deliver salacious tales of gossip, intrigue, hauntings, and violence on the streets of Boston’s wealthiest neighborhood. Some of the most infamous murders in American history took place on the slopes of Beacon Hill. Join us and encounter beheadings, sword duels, dismemberments, grisly relics left behind by the dead, and dark rituals aimed at bringing them back to our world.

The Gas Lamps that light these streets are nearly two hundred years old, casting creepy flickers, even today. Many horrible figures have emerged from the shadows to cross through their eerie glow, on their way to or from some horrible business.  Now they come back to life, conjured on the Beacon Hill Ghost Tour.  This tour is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, so parental discretion is advised.

Boston History Company Provides Your Guide to Greater Boston

Welcome to Boston History Company! (Previously Cambridge Historical Tours) Thank you for considering us for your Greater Boston tour experience! We take pride in having a diverse staff of exceptional guides, many of whom have backgrounds in performance, history and the arts, and we take pride in curating tour experiences for all interests and backgrounds.
We strive to provide a more approachable experience, limiting our public tour groups to 25 guests per guide. If, however, you are seeking an even more intimate tour experience, scheduled at your leisure and tailored to your interests, private tours are certainly the way to go.
Public Tours are priced for the budget-conscious traveler who does not mind sharing their guide with other tour groups. Tours are scheduled and run at set times. Private Tours are tours for YOUR GROUP ONLY and can be arranged for any time of day between 8:00am and 8:30pm. 
We also offer “Step-On” Tours. This is when our guides hop onto your bus, or into your car, and narrate the ride. We do not own or operate any vehicles, and are a guide service only, but our guides are the best in the business, and will make your journey special. Our preferred partners for booking vehicles are LTI and Yankee Bus Company, and we are happy to provide contacts if you reach out to us directly.”
