Great family fun - Highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Jeff was fantastic. Perfect blend of history with some spooky stories at each spot. We had our 15 and 7 year old with us and they were both engaged the entire time.

Excellent Walking Tour - I took this tour on Wednesday April 22 2026. The tour guide (I believe his name was Jeff, I'm not very good with names) was very knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. He offered insight and information, told interesting stories about the sites and kept us engaged. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a walking tour. It was honestly one of the best parts of my stay in Salem.

Best Tour Guide Ever! - My sister, her friend, and I took the night tour on our trip to Salem last week and it was by far one of the best tours I’ve been on. Our tour guide Jonathan was absolutely amazing! Not only did he give us great details about the history of Salem, he was insanely hilarious! I don’t normally like to go on ghosts tour but this was absolutely worth every penny and I would spend more just to get another hour! Highly recommend!

Great time! - We had a great time exploring the beautiful streets of Salem and learning about the Salem witch trials and the town’s famous hauntings. The tour was the perfect mix of spooky fun and fascinating history. Our guide, Jeff, was fantastic—he kept everyone engaged from start to finish and made the experience enjoyable for all ages. We had kids and adults in our group, and Jeff managed to keep everyone entertained and interested throughout. Highly recommend this tour!

Cash Grab - Jeff our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. However I booked an 8:00 tour that said 12 and over - there was many little kids and strollers that distracted from the vibe . Also we didn’t visit Witch House or house of 7 Gables . We visit many “ former sites of.” Now new buildings. I was disappointed in that … one more thing . When we checked in at Town Hakl we were told to wait with this large group and “ the guides would come and split groups up..” 1 guide arrived and took no lie 40-50 of us walking . Thats a cash grab man . Last year I had a different tour more intimate and cheaper. So the 3 stars are for Jeff the guide only . Would not recommend your to others.
