Thanks for your review! We are so glad to hear you had a great time on the tour. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest.

Awful. The guide was a no-show so I got no experience that I paid for.

Anna_H, Nov 2023

This is a scam. No one showed up to lead the tour and there was zero information about any alternative location or details given. I tried calling and I just got an automated robocall. I need a refund.

Very upsetting

Catherine_W, Nov 2023

The witch house was closed! We walked there ourselves. The tour description was deceiving. We saw others at a tour before us complaining about how the house was closed. We tried to cancel and wouldn’t reimburse.they wanted to give us a different day, we are from Long Island!! Our daughter’s sweet 16 trip!! Disappointing

I enjoyed our guide's knowledge as well as the delivery of the subject. He was very personable and managed to add witty humor to a very tragic subject..

This was a great time! Stephen was our guide and I'm a hard critic on ghost tours because I own one in Texas! Take THIS tour versus any others!

Steven was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and patient. He said it was his first tour and you truly would never have known if he didn’t tell us.

Terrible tour

Maliha_M, Sep 2023

The tour guide was not good. We had gone to am earlier freedom trail tour that was exceptional. Then we drove to Salem and the tour guide was not very knowledgeable and not loud enough. We were walking and and she

Waste of money

Lewis_C, Nov 2022

The tour guide tried but was unable to keep most of the group interested. We ended up walking away from the group halfway through. I feel it was a waste of money, you can walk around and see everything yourself!

ashley_P, Oct 2022

Our tour guy never showed up. A person who was waiting for the tour called his booking agency and they stated that the tour guide was at urgent care and was not going to be replaced therefore our tour was canceled. I have not received a response back on receiving a full refund so I am pretty dissatisfied with the experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2023
