Jeff_L, Nov 2023
Laina was an excellent tour guide. She was professional and knowledgable. We had a small group, so she took the time to answer all our questions and allowed us to take photos before moving on to the next location. The tour itself is highly recommended and if you want the best experience, ask for Laina!

Too costly for what you get
Connie_W, Oct 2023
It wasn't worth the price to charge and we had already walked around town for free and saw everything that was in the tour
Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hauntings
Donna_C, Oct 2023
Most memorable part was the four different sites that we visited and the story behind them. Our tour guide Geoffrey was very good and informative 👍 I was a little upset to find out that there was an extension part of the tour that you had to pay additional fees on top of what you already paid for the tour 😢 Without the extension you only visit four sites. 😡
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for the feedback, Donna. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear that your experience wasn't quite what you expected regarding the additional cost of the extended tour. We apologize for any confusion. Thank you.
Cool stories
Zach_H, Oct 2023
The stories and stops were cool. Geoffry was an amazing tour guide! However, the pace at which we had to walk to keep up was a bit difficult. It felt like we had to run at times to stay with the group.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Zach, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed Geoffrey's storytelling and the locations on your tour. We will be sure to pass along your feedback about the pace of the tour, as we always want our guests to have a comfortable walk. Thank you for your honesty.

An eerie and thrilling experience!
Adriana_C, Oct 2023
Attending the ghost tour in Salem was an eerie and thrilling experience. Ruth was an extremely knowledgeable guide who brought the haunted history of the city to life with spine-chilling tales and intriguing historical anecdotes. The atmosphere was perfectly set with dimly lit streets and an air of mystery. The tour's blend of suspense and historical context made it an unforgettable journey into Salem's haunted past. Highly recommended for those seeking a thrilling and informative adventure in the heart of Salem's supernatural lore."

Spooky night walk
Elizabeth_L, Oct 2023
Our tour guide was amazing! She was super knowledgeable about the sights we were touring and even threw in a couple extra facts and jokes!

Short
Leslie_D, Oct 2023
Very crowded. It was an hour but most of it was traveling from place to place so the stories seemed a bit short
Response from Host, Dec 2023

Huge let down
Vanessa_S, Oct 2023
Group of 4 here! I would NOT recommend to anyone!! The tour was rushed, we couldn’t hear our guide at all, and the was experience was nothing like what was described in the title. I asked the guide several times to speak up, we got closer and STILL couldn’t hear! We couldn’t take any pictures because we’d lose our group if we stopped! It was an awful experience and I just want my money back!
Response from Host, Dec 2023

I was ripped off
Cynthia_B, Mar 2023
