Make sure to wear comfortable footwear. The tour was incredible. My only issue was that during the tour, we learned about a serial killer who murdered men across different countries before ending up in Salem to kill again. There's a book about him, but I can’t recall its title, and I really want to read it.
This tour was a highlight of our visit to Salem, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're interested in experiences beyond the typical witch trial narratives, this is a fantastic way to explore a different aspect of the city. The tales of murders, mysteries, and ghost encounters were intriguing, and hearing them during a nighttime walk through Salem added to the atmosphere. Our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and an excellent storyteller who brought each site to life and captivated the entire group. The tour was certainly worth the price, but be ready for some significant walking. We also liked that the tour included locations we wouldn't have found on our own, making it feel more unique and off the beaten path. I highly recommend it to both younger and older adults who appreciate a blend of history, mystery, and a touch of spookiness.
Our experience in Salem was absolutely unforgettable. My 13-year-old daughter, who loves the macabre, found this tour perfect for her interests. We previously did the History & Hauntings tour, and although there were some overlaps, our guide Danielle provided a fresh perspective and shared new information that kept it interesting for us. The focus on dark, chilling tales really enhanced our understanding of this intriguing city. Danielle was a fantastic guide, leading the evening tour with her lantern and demonstrating her extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for Salem's history, along with her medium abilities, which we found fascinating. At various locations, she even showed us photos from other participants who had captured ghostly images, adding a thrilling element to the experience. I highly recommend this tour.
This walking tour was fantastic. Violet was incredibly knowledgeable and addressed all our queries. With only my group of five present, she ensured there was no repetition from our prior tour. Sharing some photos was a nice touch as well.
Our experience with Samantha was fantastic. She was incredibly kind, offering us hand warmers and ponchos, and her knowledge and sense of humor were outstanding. Her insights into Salem's murders, mysteries, and hauntings were intriguing, and she backed up her tales with photos and videos. I’ve always believed, but my fiancée, who was a skeptic, became a believer by the tour's end.
Violet is an excellent tour guide with a lively personality. She offered valuable historical insights at each haunted location we explored and shared recent photos and videos that enhanced the stories.
This tour comes highly recommended. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information. It was a lot of fun, especially when we encountered the ghost of the man who had his head bashed in. Very fascinating experience. Thank you!
Topher was excellent and highly knowledgeable.
Danielle was an exceptional guide with a wealth of knowledge. Her storytelling skills were impressive, and she demonstrated a deep understanding of Salem's history.
The experience was peaceful and enjoyable, even with the rain enhancing it. Make sure to use the restroom before you arrive, as they emphasize this again before the tour begins.
