5.00Our guide Penelope (Penny) did a fantastic job entertaining us with spooky history of Salem cemeteries and houses. We liked how she tied together historical accounts with present day stories of ghost sightings. The tour was just the right length and even kept our tween and teens interested. Highly recommend on your visit to Salem!
Earn all the brownie points with your travel companions!

5.00We could not recommend the Salem Night Tour enough. Sebastian was our tour guide and he was incredible! He did a great job of humanizing the people he was telling us about so that the history felt alive, which was a perfect compliment to the ghostly stories he shared. He kept it entertaining without sensationalizing, and it is so clear that he genuinely cares about both his tour guests and the historical figures he talked about. If you’re the friend who’s booking the tour for your bachelorette/girls trip/etc., pick this one. Your friends WILL thank you for it!
