5.00April was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. It was the cold and rainy night, which was a bit of a bummer, but it added to the ambience. What we loved the most about the tour, was getting a lot of history of Salem itself, with the tales of the hauntings. I would definitely recommend and I would even do the same tour if I come back to Salem again.
Penny is a great storyteller, Awesome Possum!
