I enjoyed the stories and the walking. The tour went over by about 40 min. And towards the end the guide kept losing her train of thought.

Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We definitely appreciate your feedback. The tour normally runs from 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. Your tour went 10 minutes over. The guide received a round of applause at the end. Sorry that you did not feel the same as the other guests! All the best, Beth

We had a tour guided by Paige and she was theatrical and informative with every line she spoke. She educates you on the urban legends and knows all the details of the headlining murders of the towns. She was super easy to talk to and even educated us on the best food shops and took us to Goodnight Fatties! (Delicious cookie shop) Paige showed us an excellent time around Salem.
