We went on the tour with Stacy and are very happy with the tour. It was a smaller group about 8 and Stacy covered a lot of history of Salem that we would not have heard about through other museums or exhibits. We appreciated the depth and unique stories told on the tour.

Interesting tour! My friend and I visited Salem for a few days and did this tour on the first night. The guide was very enthusiastic and personable. I would recommend starting the tour at 8 PM instead of seven. It was not dark yet so it lost some of its affect. And that would give people time to eat dinner first. We thought it was going on a bit late and got hungry. 🤣

Hi there, thank you so much for your review. I’m so glad that you had a great time on our tour. However, we do have later tours than 7 PM that you could have chosen. We have a specific reason our murder tour is at 7 PM. It is dark by 8 PM. So for those who are looking for a later tour, we also offer our history tour at 7:30 and 8:30 PM, as well as our murder tour at 9:15 on Saturday nights. Regards, Beth

Our tour guide was awesome! She had great stories about the town of Salem. The rain storm and thunder happened and it made it so much cooler.
