    Bring a portable speaker...

    Bring a portable speaker would be my recommendation but otherwise a nice time with family. Can be done in daytime and I think would be just as enjoyable but probably louder with the city daytime activity.

    Thank you for the great review and exploring Boston on the Walkntours App! Great tip, we highly suggest using earbuds, headphones or bluetooth speakers to hear the tour, and for this ghost tour a bluetooth speaker is perfect!
    Great tour!

    My family had a great time! It wasn’t actually scary for my kids ( which is probably good!) but we had a great time walking around and listening to it. I would recommend doing it before it’s fully dark, because one of the parks we walked through was perfect in the early evening, but at night is actually scary with sketchy people dealing drugs, etc.

    Thank you for the great review!!!! And thank you for using the WalknTours to take solo, smart phone navigated tours! Look for us around the USA :) The Boston Common can be an interesting place :) Spooky indeed!
