Each Boston tour is built around a different register of the operator's stated material. The Ghosts of Boston Tour, aimed at families, opens at King's Chapel Burying Ground, Boston's oldest cemetery, and continues to Copp's Hill Burying Ground and the Cutler Majestic Theater before ending at Boston Common, which the operator describes as having witnessed "witch hangings" and Revolutionary War encampments. The Death and Dying Ghost Tour covers the same King's Chapel Burying Ground and Boston Common from an adults-only angle, framed around how colonial Bostonians prepared for death and mourned their dead, and adds Faneuil Hall and the Omni Parker House to its route. The Boston Haunted Pub Crawl visits the Green Dragon Tavern, the Bell in Hand Tavern, the Omni Parker House, and Ned Devine's Irish Pub, framed around Revolutionary-era patrons the operator says "never left."

All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
