Awesome tour! - Penny was an amazing tour guide! She was very informative, taught us a lot about the history and paranormal activity around Salem! It was nicely paced, and wasn’t too much walking after walking all day. Penny was also funny, and gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Would recommend this tour!

A Must-Do For First Time Salem Visitors - This was my first time visiting Salem, and taking this night tour was one of the highlights of my trip. Bobby was a fantastic guide! He was super knowledgeable, entertaining, funny, and very personable. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, which made the experience even better. I learned so much while still having fun, and the tour gave me exactly the kind of introduction to Salem I was hoping for. If you’re visiting for the first time, I highly recommend this tour. I’m already looking forward to coming back to Salem someday and experiencing it all again!

Worth the experience - Loved the humor. How she adjusted to the age group. Gave a lot of information without making it a monologue or script. Kept me engaged. Best of all loved that I could keep up even with my hurt ankle. We only had a day to visit and the tour gave me a weekend trip.

Penny is a rockstar! - This is our 3rd visit (also 3rd ghost tour) to Salem and we had the absolute pleasure of having Penny as our guide. She brought such an effervescent energy as well as deep knowledge and reverence of the history. We have booked a different tour each time and have learned something new and interesting with each guide. Penny is exactly as advertised, "shiny as a penny", and we are extremely grateful to have met this wonderful person! Great tour in a great city!
