Spooky, Smart, and Seriously Entertaining

5.00Salem’s Night Tour was an absolute highlight of our trip, and Sebastian made it unforgettable. His knowledge of Salem’s history runs deep, but what really sets him apart is how he brings it to life—every story felt vivid, engaging, and just the right amount of eerie. He has a natural gift for storytelling that keeps you hooked from start to finish, blending facts, folklore, and personality in a way that never feels scripted. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy carries through the entire tour. We laughed, we learned, and we were completely immersed the whole time. If you’re considering a tour in Salem, do yourself a favor and go with Sebastian—you won’t just hear the history, you’ll feel it.

Amazing tour with Bobby

5.00Bobby was top notch especially his jokes. He was very friendly, lively, and kept our attention the entire time. He knew a lot about the history of Salem and kept us engaged with practicing our Boston accents. I would definitely recommend this tour and Bobby. Fair warning, if its chilly, bundle up because the wind chill from the sea will hit ya hard.
First Night in Salem Fun!!!
