Beth the owner was very sweet and helpful when asked about things to do in Salem besides one of her tours. Also where to park for this tour. Thanks Beth! She also called a tour guide named Stacey to see if she was willing to do the tour since they originally weren't going to have one. Stacey was so gracious to come out and give the dark tour for my boyfriend and me. She was a great storyteller and was very sweet to suggest doing the rest of the tour at Rockefeller's because she could tell I was cold. Me and my boyfriend decided against that and stayed out in the cold to the very end. It took over 2 hours but we were having so much fun we didn't want it to end. But as all good things must come to an end Stacey even walked us back to our vehicle after the tour at end of the night. So thank you Beth and Stacey for giving us a great historically macabre tour that me and Bobby absolutely adored. I highly recommend anyone who likes dark, gory storytelling to come check out this tour. I don't recommend bringing any kids for this tour either. The stories are rather gruesome and detailed about some of these murders that happened in Salem. Definitely not for the faint of heart. We want to thank both of you from Bobby and Tonya.

Hi Bobby and Tonya, Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so thrilled to hear that you had a great time on the tour. It was my pleasure to get the tour set up for you, and Stacy was more than happy to accommodate you both. I hope you had a great time exploring Salem before the tour. I am so glad to hear that you were able to stick out the cold weather and complete the tour. Our New England nights can be chilly! I agree - this tour is definitely not suitable for children, as the stories are quite gruesome. Thank you again for visiting us! Please come back again soon. All the best, Beth and Stacy

The enthusiasm when telling the stories was great. Paige was very knowledgeable about the history of Salem.

Paige was amazing! It would have been fun if she was dressed up, but we enjoyed it either way! Thank you so much!

HI there! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We are so thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time with Paige on the tour. Our guides don't wear costumes because we find it to be too "cheesy"...still, glad you had a wonderful time! All the best, Beth
