My girlfriend and I visited Salem for the first time this October. I absolutely recommend booking this tour as a part of your itinerary. Our tour guide (I wish I remembered her name) was amazing. The tour was suppose to be 90 min but she had us out for well over two hours. Talking about the history of Salem and different murders that took place throughout the towns history. Definitely a ten out of ten to say the least! Awesome tour for only 25 bucks a person!

The tour guide was Paige was very invested however, not only difficult to hear but also had a difficult time captivating the audience despite having a lot to say. There is so much history in Salem I wish it was executed a bit better

Hi there, thank you so much for your review! We very much value our guest’s feedback. However, I’m a little bit confused. Paige wears a microphone headset. She always make sure the guests can hear her. Also, it sounds like you were looking for a history tour. This is not a history tour! Our history tour is called History and Hauntings. You were on the Mysteries & Murders tour. Thank you! Beth and Paige

This wasn’t a horrible tour, but it was just ok, not what we were expecting. Instead of history they tell stories or murder and mysteries but it is not at all spooky, unsure of the age suggestion, stories were told in a very theatrical way .. not spooky at all
