    Ghosts of Boston Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour

    Most ghost tours in a city start at nighttime and go with a big crowd that can hold you back or move too fast. This Boston Self-Guided Ghost Tour takes you around the city by foot without a group so you can move as quickly or as slowly as you like. Gain access to 60+ historic stories and narrations while you stop at popular Boston landmarks.

    This is a self-guided audio walk, so there is no group and no guide setting the pace. You move through Boston by foot on your own schedule, as fast or slow as you like, with access to more than 60 historic stories and narrations as you stop at popular landmarks. That independence is the whole selling point, and it suits people who dislike crowds, want to pause for photos, or prefer to tour during daylight instead of a fixed night slot.

    Boston has been accumulating ghost stories since the 1600s, and its compact, walkable downtown keeps a lot of that history close together. The trade-off with a self-guided format is that you supply your own timing and navigation, which is a plus for independent travelers and a downside if you want a guide's live performance.
