This was a decent tour. We heard some interesting stories and it was cool that our guide had family ties to the Witch Trials. Overall, the tour had too many people and it was really difficult to hear the guide while moving. When we stopped at the sites, it was fine and everyone was able to hear the stories. Overall, it was a decent tour, but know if you take this tour in October, there will be about 40 or so people with you.

I felt like there were too many people in the tour. If theres an ordinance where u cant speak with microphones i say dont go into places where u cant be heard and i did feel like there was going to be a lot of personal ghost stories but i wanted to hear about ghosts often seen by multiple people, the history of that. But tour guide was pretty funny. But in all fairness we left early cause we felt like we knew where the tour was going and i wasnt going to hold my bladder for it.

We keep our tour groups to 35-40 people while other companies go 50 or more. This makes it easier to get to the locations and gives ample time for people to catch the group before the guide starts talking. All of our guides use microphones so they are very loud. We are one of the few companies in town that actually follow the rules. There's also no way of knowing where the tour was going as you admitted to leaving the tour early. Our staff works extremely hard to bring this haunted history to life. Halloween crowds are always large in Salem. There can upwards of 100,000 people a day. Sharing is caring and we all have to share this wonderful spooky city.

Bob was our guide and he was quite the entertainer and had quite the sense of humor and definitely was very knowledgeable on the subject of hauntings in salem and had his own personal stories to add. Also loved the cloak and lantern effect. Only thing I proably wouldve liked more of is the history .. bob did alot of his personal stories . Also we went on halloween this year and it was freezing out (we were the 9pm tour) so I would recommend hand warmers and a nice coat
