I really enjoyed our tour guides energy and vibe. I also learned some really interesting information like pressing and the gaol.

We enjoyed this tour but not as much as the tour that focuses on Salem's history. Our guide talked about some of it's history and told us several dark stories about it's past and how people still see ghost's to this day. We had also taken another tour earlier in the day that was focused more of the history of Salem, however many of the stories overlapped and were the same. I guess ultimately that's on us. Our advice would be just to take one tour as much of it overlaped and was repetitive.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. Only two stories overlap on both tours and go completely different directions through town. I do appreciate your feedback and will look into this further. Thank you! All the best, Beth

Very fun! I did the History & Hauntings tour earlier in the day and was worried that because both tours were by the same company they may mirror each other. Not the case. There was only one shared story between the two tours and it’s a good one, plus they both told it a tad differently with a little more flair. Highly recommend this company and their tours.
