Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-06-09
In the interest of transparency, and in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA / CAP Code), this page explains how boston-ghost-tours.com makes money.
1. We are an affiliate
boston-ghost-tours.com participates in the GetYourGuide affiliate programme. When you click a booking link or use a booking widget on this site and go on to make a reservation, we may earn a commission.
2. It costs you nothing extra
Affiliate commissions are paid by the tour operator or booking platform out of their own margin. You pay exactly the same price you would by going to the platform directly — there is no markup and no extra fee for using our links.
3. Editorial independence
Our comparisons, ratings and recommendations are based on publicly available tour data, verified prices and durations, and genuine customer reviews. A commission relationship does not buy a better write-up. The "top pick" on this site is the Ghosts & Gravestones trolley because it is Boston's most-reviewed ghost tour, rated 4.4 out of 5 across 650+ reviews — not because of commission rates.
4. Prices, ratings and availability
Prices, ratings, review counts and availability are taken from our booking partner and can change at any time. Always confirm the current price, age policy and start time on the booking page before you reserve. Prices also vary by sales channel, so it can be worth comparing operator-direct and reseller rates.
5. A note on ghost stories
The historical events described on this site — executions, the 1849 Parkman–Webster murder, grave-robbing, the Athenaeum's skin book — are documented. The hauntings themselves are folklore, presented as "reportedly" and "said to be." Treat the ghost claims as entertainment, not established fact.
6. Honesty commitment
We only recommend tours we would consider booking ourselves, and we flag honest caveats — cobblestones, cold nights, age restrictions, October sell-outs — rather than hiding them.
7. Questions or concerns
