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.

5.00Sebastian was the perfect guide, gave us historical context and lots of spooky ghost history as well. It was a super fun and informative tour and my friend and I would highly recommend it. And when you get to the square where the old jail was, if anything tugs at your clothes, be sure to tell your guide!
Awesome tour with Penny.

5.00Bobby’s tour was not only educational and fun, but also the perfect way to end a long day exploring Salem. He was witty, engaging, and told real stories with an authentic voice that captured both the sorrow of the past and the transformation the city has undergone through the years. It was especially exciting to learn about the areas known for their paranormal activity, paired with the true histories and tragedies that gave rise to those legends. The experience was immersive, meaningful, and unforgettable. Well worth the price!
