I wanted to LOVE this tour. I had high hopes for it. The guide seemed bored and his storytelling for a potentially captive audience failed. The sites and stories MOSTLY did not connect at all. Basically just walking , stopping at random spots and digging in his brain to recall more murder stories. 2 of the stops went with the stories. Thats all. Was looking so forward to this tour. It may have been the guide because we feel this had SO MUCH more potential.

The content was ok but the presentation was not. Maybe Veronica had an off night but she was not a good storyteller, jumbling storylines back and forth in time, continuously tripping over her words and overusing phrases like “whatnot.” She also interrupted the tour to use the bathroom while we all waited (no one on the tour had to go). We had a much better Salem tour with one of your competitors.

Cody was our tour guide and he was great. I was nervous going into the tour only because i had attended another tour of Salem that morning and was worried it would be a lot of repetitive stories. Thankfully I learned a lot of new knowledge. I wanted to hear some creepy ghost stories and that’s exactly what I got!
