Had an awesome time with Jen and our small group. It was an intimate tour, and it felt like old friends sitting around telling spooky ghost stories. Though we had to leave early to catch our train, we were bummed to miss the last spot. Had lots of laughs, and shared lots of memories (and brews)!
Julie_B, Aug 2026
We had a great time on the tour it was informative and fun. We would definitely recommend checking it out.
Kelly_K, Aug 2026
Susan is a great guide who brought these stories to life, both through historical detail and her sense of humor. The tour was a thoroughly entertaining two hours - it helped that we had a good group who were clearly there to have fun. Highly recommended!
Nancy_N, Aug 2026
Highly recommended fun and informative. Our tour guide Susan made the experience of hearing Salem history and tales a delight while visiting bars !
Kathy_C, Aug 2026
It was a fun experience. You walk to three different bars (you pay for your own drinks) and are told Salem stories along the way.

This tour was an excellent experience. Tons of great ghost stories, historic references, and a really knowledgeable and energetic guide!
Kristin_N, Aug 2026
Bella was great! She told animated stories and gave us a lot of history. However, it seemed like the bars had nothing to do with the tour. No bartenders shared stories or gave us history of their locations.
Stephanie_P, Jul 2026
I have done a few different haunted ghost tours in Salem and decided to try something different this time. It was totally worth it, super fun and our tour guide Andy was super funny and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!!!

We had an amazing time on the Booze and Brews Tour in Salem, Massachusetts! The tour was the perfect mix of local history, great drinks, and fun atmosphere. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made every stop interesting with fascinating stories about Salem's past.
The breweries and pubs we visited each had their own unique charm, and we got to sample some fantastic local beverages along the way. The pace was relaxed, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the drinks, explore the locations, and meet other people on the tour.
Whether you're visiting Salem for the first time or you're a local looking for a fun outing, I highly recommend the Booze and Brews Tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we can't wait to do it again!

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!

Michelle_R, Mar 2026
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!
Hector_G, Nov 2025

Response from Host, Nov 2025

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.
