Guide was very good, a good story teller. Hoping to get a good scare along the tour but we weren’t lucky in that regard. This was our second tour so some stories were repeats but most were new.

Hi! Thank you so much taking the time to leave a review. I’m so thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time on our tour. Salem generally isn’t scary, just a bit spooky. Please come back and see us again soon! All the best, Beth

It was very enjoyable to walk the town and hear some fun stories. Our guide was energetic and fun. My family was hoping it would have been a tour the led inside buildings (as we had just spent the day walking the entire town and had already seen where we had been taken) but we still learned a lot. It’s not easy when there are many tours happening all around and you run in to many other groups. It kind of takes away from the experience.

This tour is very well done. The meeting place is easy to find, the guide was easy to hear (and she encouraged us to let her know if we couldn’t), and there was no cheesy pitch for a gratuity at the end (although we did tip generously - she deserved it). Paige was super animated, which lent the stories a great deal of entertainment value. They also allowed us to bring our two (very well-behaved) golden doodles, which was a huge plus. Highly recommend!
