Disappointed at best

Dustin_S, Apr 2026
Tour guide was not prepared and lacked knowledge and context. Guide not able to answer questions, forgot content in mid sentence and was hard to follow thought process.

Wonderful!

Zarabeth_M, Nov 2025
Trevor was awesome! Its was lots of fun. It ended up being just me and my husband, so it felt like walking with a friend. I enjoyed it and definitely recommend!

FOR KAT WITH A K

Diego_V, Oct 2024
Kat was a very nice guide, She told us many stories through the tour. My family and I all enjoyed the tour and learned something new from it.

Highly recommended Kate

Kate was very informative and we had a great time. Mu 14 year old grandson enjoyed it very much. We will be back for sure. Thank you

Wonderful!

Janine_G, Jan 2024

Best tour!

Anthony_F, Dec 2023
Our tour guide with extremely informative, excited about sharing her knowledge with us and made the tour so much fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Kat 👏🏻👏🏻

Angela_Z, Oct 2023
Kat and Casey (I believe as the name) were great! Casey would make sure the whole tour was together and no one will get left behind when crossing the busy streets! Kat was so informative and if anyone had questions she will reply with the best she can!

Go in this tour!

Steven_L, Oct 2023
Kat was extremely funny and an excellent tour guide! We bought tickets last minute and they already had our information with a super easy check in process. The tour was the perfect amount of informative, funny, and spooky. Would definitely do this again!

I’d recommend it with Kat as the guide!

Renee_S, Oct 2023
We attended only the spooky tour. Kay was our guide. She was fun and informative. She made sure the groups stayed together and gave short spooky stories from the Salem area. It wasn’t as scary as I was expecting, but it was still fun and perfect for our family.

Get ready for a hike!

Taylor_H, Oct 2023
The starting location is a bit of a hike from the main drag. We do not recommend this tour if you’re walking from the train station! Plan to drive there. Additionally, the final stop is right where you start so you’re basically looping around downtown. There was more walking than there was ghosties to visit. Not for the faint of heart. Our tour guide was very friendly and sweet and had a ton of info on the spookier aspects of Salem but could use some more practice with her story telling abilities as her delivery felt stiff and stumbling. All in all, we mostly enjoyed ourselves but weren’t very enthused by the tour.

Salem Ghost Tour

margaret_r, Oct 2023
Fun Ghost tour . October is a fun time in Salem. Our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable. You will really enjoy it

Great tour with Kat!

Lori_B, Oct 2023
Took this tour on 10/15/23 with Kat and she was great! Her personality is definitely suited to an audience being that she is a true performer and she was sooo nice! Great stories too!

Learn something new everyday

richard_t, Oct 2023
The jail and the cemetery at the end and just learning yesterday that the channels and everything closer to the water is man made land.

Fun Tour!

A fun way to learn some history

Amanda_M, Jul 2023
Really enjoyed this tour. It wasn’t too strenuous, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a good bit of history about Salem. I also appreciated that this was a local and female owned business.

Amazing time with Kat!

Jill_W, Jun 2023
Kat was AMAZING! We loved our personal ghost tour! 10/10 highly recommend! This was a local business that provided this service and it was hands down better than the other tours we’ve done with larger groups!

10/10!!!

We did the 8:30 pm tour. David was our guide and we loved every minute of it. He took us all around town and shared all his haunting stories with us. Such a great experience with fantastic weather in November! We would totally do this tour again with David!

Adventures with Apparitions

Cheryl_C, Oct 2022
We met on time and joined a very enthusiastic and fun group. The stories told as well as the integration of history was both interesting and spooky. We learned of many apparitions and their ties to Salem. Lots of fun!

David was a fabulous guide

Cheri_D, Oct 2022
First off, our guide was most definitely best dressed and he was super easy to understand. So many guides have thick accents in BAAAWston lol. Great stories and pace. Funny and approachable. 2 Thumbs up
