The night before Halloween was spooky - The experience was incredible with our guide (I do not remember his name but it is a bald guy) This experience was amazing due to the fact it was the day before Halloween and the tour guide was very energetic and fun. He took his time to explain the sights and it was pouring down rain, but his level of energy was incredible! The tour lasted about 2 hrs and is worth every penny. This was a smooth tour guide and lots to see if you are in the Salem area. I totally recommend this tour and tour guide! Thanks for an amazing time the night before Halloween!

Great tour - 10⭐️s - Our tour guide, Topher, was great! His dad jokes were next level and made the tour very entertaining! His knowledge and storytelling and the fact that he did not murder us in the dark, scary corners and alleys made it a 10 out of 10 experience. Would love to do another tour when we visit Salem again.

Best Tour of the Week - Danielle was amazing. She really should be on a stage. We had a very spooky time on the tour and she kept it fun the entire time. I wish we had more time to visit with her as a medium while we were there.

Murder and Mysteries of Salem is excellent! - Dani was our tour guide for the Murder and Mysteries of Salem. If you've taken other tours in Salem like I have, this one was unlike any other. I learned new things and I thoroughly enjoyed Dani's stories. She's one of the best tour guides that I've had and I wholeheartedly recommend this ADULTS ONLY tour! Julie and Sheila

Murder, Murder, Murder - Loved Danielle! She told the stories and then some from the time that Salem was something else to the current state. Fascinating tidbits about Salem and the ugly under belly.

Fun night tour experience! - Sam was an extraordinary guide! My husband and I visited Salem for a leg of our honeymoon and knew that we wanted to go on a night tour. We enjoyed going all over the city and hearing the stories of each of our stops! Sam was such a great story teller and kept it all very interesting!
