Lisa was such a sweet and fun tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The tour was so fun and interesting and during spooky season made it even better! Would highly recommend this tour or any others by Lisa!
The Boos and Brews Walking Ghost Tour uncovers Boothbay Harbor’s unexplained past with eerie events told from a local’s perspective. We combine spine-tingling tales told in picturesque locations with a visit to the Footbridge Brewery for craft beer and barbeque! Your local guide tells ghostly tales about the harbor’s most haunted old sea captain’s homes, Boothbay Harbor’s very own sea serpent, and the spooky legends that surround many of the harbor’s islands. We’ll wrap up our walk on the weird side at the Footbridge Brewery where you can enjoy beautiful harbor views along with a craft beer flight, brewed with all locally sourced Maine ingredients, and Bridge House barbeque.

There is a public paid parking lot (12 Granary Way) next to the Footbridge ($2/hr). Tour will wrap up at the Footbridge Brewery next to the parking lot.
- We end our tour at the Footbridge Brewery for craft beer and barbeque. There is a public paid parking lot (12 Granary Way) next to the Footbridge.

Boothbay Harbor is a favorite destination of ours. The walking ghost tour was a fun way to learn some history of the area. Lisa, our tour guide, was animated and the stories were interesting. It was a nice walk around town.
It would be an added bonus if the tour participants were able to actually enter one of the haunted establishments on the guided tour.

We had the absolute best time! Lisa, our guide, was personable and really excited and enthusiastic about the haunted history. We will definitely be back to do another tour next time in Maine!! Highly recommend!!

This tour was fantastic! We had the best time with our guide Lisa! She made sure that all of our questions were answered and that we got a very thorough haunted history of Boothbay! She also followed up afterwards with information we had asked for about some of the stories she told us, other paranormal stories from Maine, and pictures she took for me and my cousin! The final stop being a speakeasy was by far one of the coolest things we did on our trip! We will definitely be back to take another tour with her on our next trip!!!
