Loved this tour! It was a busy Saturday night but our guide Topher did a great job navigating the whole group around the crowds. The ghost stories were well worth the price of admission and Topher’s knowledge on the history of Salem was impressive. A perfect activity for those interested in spooky haunted history.

We were so excited to take this tour. We had a new person, that could not remember names had to look on her hand, she walked way to fast, missed a lot of what she said, due to talking and walking. Had to correct her on some of her facts. Was very disappointed, if we could get our money back I would. The other tours we took were wonderful. She had fake vampire fangs that she kept on falling off she kept on slopping them up it was not pretty. Kept on talking about her boots and her feet hurts her. Very Disappointed.
