What are people saying about Massachusetts

Ashley_W, Jul 2026

Brilliant guide, tour checked all the boxes

Excellent tour. It is operated out of Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe (which is the most authentic Salem shop in my opinion - not a tourist trap). The owners take great care and take history seriously. You won’t get gimmicks or over-exaggerated nonsense. The history is rich enough, and spooky/gory/tragic enough to stand on its own. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge about Salem and history in general. I took both their 8:00 tour and the 10:00 “adults only” and I got different stops and stories respectively. If you’re on the fenced, let this be your sign to book!! It’s clear this is their passion.

Whale Watching Trips to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary. Guaranteed sightings!

Kiely_S, Jun 2026

NEX provided an excellent day in Salem

Great day in Salem. There was lots to see and do. The trolley tour was a great start to the day, the witch museum was so so, & the house of 7 gables was great. Rory was an excellent driver & an informative guide! All of his recommendations for things to do & places to eat were 10/10 & so is he!

Salem Kids Slightly Spooky Tour

Cynthia_M, Apr 2026

Fun activity

There were 5 kids ages 2-7 on our tour. Our guide spoke on a level that kept all of the children interested & she included them in the storytelling. The adults also enjoyed the history & the details about the lives of Salem past. Excellent activity for young & old. Not too much walking, each stop provided a break as we listened & learned some interesting history told in a lighthearted way.

Haunted Boston Ghost Tours

Shasta_B, Nov 2025

An actual ghost tour

This was by far the best ghost tour I’ve ever been on. It was an actual ghost tour, full of real stories and a lot of history of the city. Our tour guide was incredible and knew a ton of history about the city. He was great to talk to, listen to, and ask questions to. He answered everything and hung out after the tour to swap more ghost stories. There were no weird actors popping out to scare anyone (just real honest stories).

Our tour guide John was...

Our tour guide John was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Salem and provided us with so much information I don’t think we would have learned anywhere else on our trip. We were very impressed and felt welcomed on the tour. John definitely exceeded our expectations for a ghost tour of Salem-you will not be disappointed!

History Tour of Salem with Tour Guide John

The tour with tour guide John was very informative! I’ve been on history tours before in Salem and I felt like I learned the most history and information on this tour! We went to several different sites including some of my favorite highlights learning about the Charter Street Cemetery, Pickman House, Salem Witch Trials memorial, Old Salem Jail, St. Peter’s Church and other sites and learning the history behind them. The tour didn’t feel rushed, John took his time explaining all the different sites and the history behind them, and overall the tour was very informative and my mom and I truly enjoyed having John as our tour guide!

Salem Uncovered: Dark Stories of Salem Tour

Genesis_A, Oct 2025

Amazing Experience on the Salem Uncovered Tour!

As a longtime Salem: The Podcast listener, I was so excited to finally experience the Salem Uncovered Tour in person — and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! When I arrived, I was greeted by Tim, who happens to be Jeffrey’s brother. I mentioned that I was a little sad not to have Jeffrey as my guide since I’m such a fan of the podcast, and Tim kindly told me he’d do his best to make sure I met him. Tim was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire tour, sharing dark and fascinating stories about Salem’s history. As we were walking we actually ran into Jeffrey, and Tim made a point to turn us around so I could officially meet him and even ask a question! I was thrilled — and got a quick photo, too! I’m so grateful to both Tim and Jeffrey for going above and beyond to make this experience special. I went with two friends who aren’t podcast listeners (yet), and they loved the tour so much that they said it was their favorite part of our trip — and now they want to start listening to Salem: The Podcast! Overall, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Whether you’re a fan of the podcast or just interested in Salem’s darker history, this is a must-do experience!

Scott_B, Sep 2025

Great tour with a wide spectrum of info and entertainment

Tom and Sara were both excellent. My wife and I were the only ones on both tours so the 1st two were combined. Both guides were well versed on the area history and did a wonderful job in their storytelling. I have to say it would be nice if Annie retires to Florida to slow the traffic on I-4. LOL Definitely recommend this tour for both the history, witch and ghost peeps.
