Itinerary

This 90-minute tour immerses you in the city's gloomy past, taking you to haunted houses and locations of reported paranormal activity after dark. You'll hear terrifying tales of unsolved mysteries, haunted artefacts, and restless ghosts that still linger in Boston's dark corners while being led by an experienced storyteller. Learn about the paranormal activities at Omni Parker House, the dark past surrounding the murder of George Parkman, and the terrifying legend of the Maritana's cursed figurehead.

One of the most significant incidents in American history is thought to have occurred in Boston Harbour in December of 1773. This was the night that over 300 tea containers were thrown into the harbour by a group of colonists who were fed up with unfair taxation regulations and finally lost their cool. December 16, 1773, saw the Boston Tea Party, and you may now go back in time and see it all.

Together with our historically costumed interpreters, explore Griffin's Wharf and board a ship from the eighteenth century to toss the fated tea into Boston Harbour. You may also hear about the dramatic events surrounding the "single most important event leading up to the American Revolution." Discover the fascinating history of the Robinson Tea Chest, the only tea chest from the Boston Tea Party believed to still exist.

Apart from the museum, take a tour of our stunning Abigail's Tea Room, where you may savour freshly baked pastries, light fare, and a cup of tea while discovering more about the varieties of tea that were thrown overboard in 1773. And don't miss our enchanted gift shop, which is brimming with exquisite items to take home!
