Will’s Tennessee drawl added charm to an already fun tour. He gave us the tips and tricks we needed to have the spookiest time. What a blast!

Will was a fantastic tour guide! His personality is amazing, and he was very patient and made sure we all had a good tour experience and plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Salem. It was also easy to schedule and the fee was very affordable. I recommend this tour and Will specifically to everyone!

Conor was an amazing tour guide. We had a small group (just 7 people) which made it more personable. My friend and I did the extended tour which was also amazing. Would definitely recommend as someones first time in Salem!

The timing of the tour was perfect, not too short, not too long. We got to see plenty of notable houses of Salem. Sam was a great storyteller, he was clear and concise. He gave both historical context and the spooky encounters at each stop.

Sam our tour guide was an amazing story teller! His knowledge and delivery about the buildings and spirits was spot on! The only downside to the tour was that the group was very large (I think 2 groups got merged into 1) and it was sometimes hard to hear but I would highly recommend to anyone interested in hearing more about the haunted history of Salem!

Our tour was phenomenal. This was largely due to our tour guide whose name I cannot remember, but he had a strong southern accent. He was incredibly informative, fun, and made it overall an incredible experience. We have done many of these types of tours in Salem, and this was by far the best one. Thank you again for an incredible experience.
