We had Giovanni as our tour guide and he was amazing. He had so much information on Salem and shared many stories of historical hauntings. I really liked how he told about thoroughly examining ghostly occurrences to rule out another explanation. It definitely gives credibility to the things he cannot disprove! Giovanni has a great way of telling stories with humor woven in. We didn’t see any ghosts, but we had a ghostly good time. We’ll be back for sure!

I was a little disappointed with this tour. When booking, I was expecting to walk to each spot on the tour, hear some history about the spot / why it is significant and then hear about ghosts / paranormal activity. While on the tour however, our guide would just get us to the spot, tell a ghost story and then we would be shuffled to the next spot. A fair warning to future bookings, we went during October and it was packed! Our tour group consisted of 38 people and there were multiple tours going on at the same time. This meant that sometimes multiple tour groups would show up at the same location and you would end up listening to multiple tour guides.

We keep our group sizes to 35-40 people. Other tour companies in town go to 50 people per tour. We do our best to get over to locations where the crowd is limited but sharing is caring and we all need to share the city.

Our tour guide seemed very unprepared. I understand being new to the job so I don’t want to be unfair in my review. I have done a few other walking tours in Salem that were done very well. Ultimately, I was disappointed that this was the experience my visiting family members had. If the guide is open to feedback I would suggest working on crowd management (keeping a slow pace, not talking when people can’t hear her in the back), and working on storytelling skills.

We keep our groups to 35-40 so that everyone has a better tour. There are companies in town that go to 50 people per tour. Salem is a crowded town normally we can see over 100,000 visitors a day. We do our best to navigate crowds so everyone can enjoy the city.
