Wow what a great time. Troy was so energetic and it showed with the pictures he took. Elyse was so good at picking our costumes. She listens to our input and delivered on the finished product. We had such a blast. This may have been the best moment of our girls weekend.

This was my second time...

This was my second time doing this walking tour. My husband and I have done three different ones over the years and this one is still our favorite. Our tour guide was very informative and encouraged questions. My parents, who didn't know a lot about the Salem Witch Trials, loved this tour and would come back again. We would recommend this tour even to those who have knowledge of the trials. I learned about it in high school and after multiple visits to Salem, I am still learning more.

Salem's Best Ghost Tour

Earn all the brownie points with your travel companions!

We could not recommend the Salem Night Tour enough. Sebastian was our tour guide and he was incredible! He did a great job of humanizing the people he was telling us about so that the history felt alive, which was a perfect compliment to the ghostly stories he shared. He kept it entertaining without sensationalizing, and it is so clear that he genuinely cares about both his tour guests and the historical figures he talked about. If you’re the friend who’s booking the tour for your bachelorette/girls trip/etc., pick this one. Your friends WILL thank you for it!

Mysteries and Murders of Salem Guided Night-Time Walking Tour

Julie_H, Apr 2026

Spine-Chilling Salem Tour Worth Every Step!

We absolutely loved this tour—it was one of the highlights of our time in Salem. If you’re looking for something beyond the usual witch trial history, this is such a great way to experience a different side of the city. The stories of murders, mysteries, and ghost sightings were fascinating, and hearing them while walking through Salem at night made it even more atmospheric and memorable. Our guide was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and a great storyteller. They really brought each location to life and kept the group interested the entire time. It was definitely worth the money, though be prepared for quite a bit of walking. We also appreciated that the tour took us to spots we likely wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It felt unique and a bit more off-the-beaten-path. Definitely recommend for younger and older adults who enjoy a mix of history, mystery, and a little bit of a spooky edge!

Great experience

Michael was incredible. We are locals, but we never did any tours. The history of Salem is incredible, and Michael was kind, made sure everyone was there, and made sure everyone was safe.. Here is what I would pay extra money for, maybe a shuttle bus to take us back to down town..

Sailing on Historic Schooner Yacht in Salem, MA

Krista_E, Oct 2025

A Splendid Day!

Riding a schooner is a MUST if you come to New England! You can get a tiny feel of what travel was like in colonial days. Being something new to me I was a little nervous about the experience in the beginning, but having the opportunity to help hoist the sail was just what I needed to get my mind off my silly fears. Kos and Kate were such knowledgeable crew ladies and talked to each one of us, pointing out different light houses along the way. My husband and I, both were so very grateful for this unique opportunity.
