Sarah was great and so accommodating. December walks at night aren’t for the weak and she offered us alternatives but we were all in. She was knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel like instant friends. She offered up recommendations of museums and restaurants that we definitely took advantage of. Highly recommend her tour for all things spooky.

Trevor was awesome! Its was lots of fun. It ended up being just me and my husband, so it felt like walking with a friend. I enjoyed it and definitely recommend!

It started out when I arrived and they didn't have my name written down for the $120 I spent. My tour guide was uneducated and blase and started the tour by saying it was his 3rd tour in 3 years. Lastly, the tour that was supposed to an hr and half, concluded after 45 minutes.

We did the Spooky Spectres Walking Tour with Kat and had a great time. Kat’s storytelling is both fun and informational. Even heard some new stories we hadn’t on other Salem walking tours we’ve taken before. Do not miss this one!
