When you hear people talk about Salem, often times the first thing that comes to mind is Witches, and Halloween, and ghosts and spooky fun, but there's so much more lurking in the shadows. Salem is nearly 400 years old and just like all of us, it has a dark side. An underbelly wrought with stories for the ages. Join us for our 90 min evening walking tour as we wander through the shadows and hear stories about pirates and pepper, secrets of the oldest cemetery in Salem, brutal murders, strange legal battles, curses, spiders, torture, and of course a ghost story or two. We invite you to be part of our story and Uncover Salems dark past. -All tour guides are licensed by the City of Salem and are professional storytellers .

5.00As a longtime Salem: The Podcast listener, I was so excited to finally experience the Salem Uncovered Tour in person — and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! When I arrived, I was greeted by Tim, who happens to be Jeffrey’s brother. I mentioned that I was a little sad not to have Jeffrey as my guide since I’m such a fan of the podcast, and Tim kindly told me he’d do his best to make sure I met him. Tim was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire tour, sharing dark and fascinating stories about Salem’s history. As we were walking we actually ran into Jeffrey, and Tim made a point to turn us around so I could officially meet him and even ask a question! I was thrilled — and got a quick photo, too! I’m so grateful to both Tim and Jeffrey for going above and beyond to make this experience special. I went with two friends who aren’t podcast listeners (yet), and they loved the tour so much that they said it was their favorite part of our trip — and now they want to start listening to Salem: The Podcast! Overall, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Whether you’re a fan of the podcast or just interested in Salem’s darker history, this is a must-do experience!

3.00I loved tour tour guide he was very knowledgeable and was kind when questioned. He was a little harried after being MC for the parade.. so he seemed to struggle to keep his thoughts together ( understandable , but frustrating). LOVED the comedy and enthusiasm!! It's unfortunate that the tour ended on an unrelated rant. But would Definitely take the tour again!
