5.00Super fun tour about the has-been loser lovers of Salem. Funny, informative, and comfortable, I can willingly recommend this tour to anybody. It's also a great way to experience Salem out of season as there is a great deal to offer. Don't miss out on this tour, I promise it's worth it and I am definitely not an evil sorceress.

1.00We sent a message saying we were going to be 5 mins late, we did not receive an answer. We went to the meeting spot and no one was there. No one was up or down Essex (the meeting point). Not only did we send a message but we tried calling and no one answered. We were sent a message by the company to leave a review.
Thank you penny!

5.00Sebastian was a great guide, very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions that we had. We had a later tour during the off season so it was just us and he was able to tailor the tour to our interests which was great.
Great history lesson

5.00Our guide Sebastian was very well spoken and engaging. His knowledge of the history (and the ghosts!) of Salem was deep and wide, and we were captivated during the entire hour of the tour.
