My friends and I went on the tour hosted by Jenn and we had an amazing time! Jenn was very friendly and knowledgeable, she was a great story teller and was very engaging. We went to different bar stops with historical sights all along the way. We had a great time with Jenn!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello, Mary! We really appreciate you sharing this, thank you! It’s great to hear Jenn made the night so engaging and fun for your group. A haunted pub crawl with great stories and good company is hard to beat! We’d love to see you all again soon for another memorable experience!

All though I loved our tour guide it wasn't what I expected. Different spins on what the historical tour I took which i personally didn't enjoy but i understand making it more spooky. We are younger and were with younger people but we are old at heart. I wouldn't recommend this for older hearted people or older in age. The bars we went to besides one were more suitable for younger people (loud music large crowds) which again understandable
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi, Michelle! We’re sorry to hear the tour wasn’t quite what you hoped for, especially in terms of bar choices and crowd levels, though it’s wonderful that your guide made the experience enjoyable. Your feedback is very important in helping us improve the experience for different audiences. Please reach out with your booking details to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com so our managers can review and explore ways to correct the situation.

We took this tour and got Sabrina as our tour guide and she was absolutely phenomenal! Beyond friendly and had such a good vibe, she was very easy to get along with! She knew so much about everything & then we ended up doing a couples tarot reading done by Sabrina.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi, Jennifer! Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you had such a great time with Sabrina. She really has a special way of connecting with people and bringing the experience to life. The couples tarot reading sounds like such a fun bonus too! So glad you enjoyed the vibe, and we’d love to have you join us again soon!

We booked this tour for Halloween night. We were told that we would meet in the town Square and that our guides would have a lantern so we could find them. After searching 45mins, we found them but talked to others in the tour that had the same issues. There was no lantern or signs and as it was Halloweeen night, there were a ton of tour groups so having some type of signage to help us find our tour guide would've been helpful. We fully anticipated the chaos that is Salem on Halloween however we thought maybe this tour group had some type of agreement with bars to let the groups in or knew some out of the lesser known bars that we could go to. We ended up spending an hour trying to find a bar that could accommodate a group of 12 people. Imagine just following around a tour guide, who takes you to bar after bar only to be told, that we can't go in. We ended up in some off the wall Mexican place that was barely decorated for Halloween. Not what we were expecting. We decided after that we had had enough. 6 people (including ourselves) left the bar, and went on our own. Again, we expected some chaos & some difficulty during Halloween, but it was completely unorganized and a waste of time & money. You can do your own haunted pub crawl with better results. My recommendation to this tour group would be not to do a pub crawl on Halloween unless you have some type of agreement with certain bars that will let you in.

Jenna was fabulous. She catered her tour to our small group. Made it very personal which allowed for open dialog and questions. Staff at every stop were friendly and welcoming
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re so glad you had such a great time! Jenna will be delighted to hear your praise for her personalized approach, and we’re glad the staff made you feel welcomed at every stop. We hope to see you again on another tour soon!

Female guide not good, she told few stories about Selam. Only 1 bar hunting. Too much talk about her life and promoting her book

We didn’t know about
Street closures and it took us over 40 minutes to try and reach the meeting area.
We never got to attend. So we paid money for nothing!

I would not recommend this tour. The guide was fine,however what you pay for you could do a better walking tour thats more in depth with the history of Salem..The worst thing about this tour is the pub crawl. The bars/pubs you visit you only get 30 mins in each one which makes it a bit tricky to get your drink and enjoy it when you have 20+ people trying to order.They have no partnership with the bars so you pay for your drink as well as not being guaranteed to be served before the time limit runs out to rejoin the tour. THE LAST STOP WAS ROCKEFELLER AND THEY SHUT DOWN THE RESTAURANT SO WE HAD NOWHERE TO SIT SINCE THE BAR SEATS WERE FULL. They said we would have to wait for someone to get up to be served. You are better off keeping yout money and enjkying the bars at your own leisure. You dont get any benefits from purchasing the ticket other than a 4 short stories .again spend less money on the better walking tours.

You pay for your ticket and then have to pay for your drinks and it’s not actually a pub crawl like I have been on and the woman was not informative

The female had the best stories. She wrote a book. I'm excited to read it. Eat first you do not stay long enough to eat.

Katherine_S, Oct 2025
The tour guide didn’t take us to the pubs advertised. Only one of the three. The two others had no haunted history. Also, Bella spoke so fast, that I could barely understand the stories she was telling us for the two haunted locations we passed by. I would not recommend.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re very sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about the tour not including all of the advertised pubs and that Bella’s fast pace made it difficult to follow along. Please reach out to guestrelations@tourismo.com

The tour was entertaining Jenna was amazing and I took a picture of captain whites house and found a ghost! But they should give 1 token for a free drink
PJ_L, Oct 2025
Lots of fun facts about the witch trials and area with very knowledgeable tour guide and we all learned a lot
Evangeline_P, Oct 2025
It was such a fun experience and meeting new people…icing on the cake! Our tour guide Andy was perfection - he knew just how to include everyone and make everyone feel welcome!
Janessa_F, Oct 2025
Worth doing! Know where to park ahead of time.
Wear shoes that'll be comfortable on cobblestone.
It's fun and you have a lot of drink options mixed with history.
Debbie_D, Oct 2025
The tour guide was awsome. Very knowledgeable and fun. The only issue was at the first bar we were told we were not allowed to sit at any of the tables. Wanted us to only sit at the bar which was not big enough for a group of that size.
Alondra_M, Oct 2025
It was fun! Loved our tour guide, she was so fun! Great stops, cool bars, easy going in and out of the bars!
