My boyfriend and I decided to visit Salem this spring while it's not too busy with tourists. We were delighted to come across this place on accident. We didn't want to pay for a parking garage so we parked at the first street spot we found and conveniently there is plenty of parking in front of this business. The tour... More

We recently took this tour on a Thursday evening and had a very nice time. For starters, the group was only 4, which made it much more intimate and allowed for probably more questions/answers than if we had a larger group. The experience kicked off at the shop where we checked in. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly... More

I had an excellent experience with the Salem Night Tour. Our group was small, about 15 people, which definitely helped the experience. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was an excellent story teller. I was captivated the entire time! The tour points out locations where ghosts have been spotted around Salem as well as gives you the history of... More

My daughter and I go every year and have a great time each and every time. Well worth the trip, beautiful town with a lot of fun things to do! The night tour is awesome, informative with a touch of spooky mixed in. Love it!!

Our experience was not what we expected. The group was much too large - our tour guide divided the group prematurely. He allowed the another tour guide to take 40 people and told him to go on while we kept adding more and more people to our group, ending up with probably 60 people! Most disappointing was our tour guide:... More

As others have mentioned, this isn't really a "ghost tour," which I am willing to forgive. However, our tour guide was slightly offensive, quite arrogant, and not nearly as funny as he fancied himself. The tour itself is pretty boring-- you'd be better off doing a self-guided tour with a map and a guidebook.

Actually I can not speak of the tour itself since I did not get to go because of hurricane Sandy but the way I was treated by the online ticket company and pushed aside and basically ignored by the tour company both so far have refused to grant a refund and the tour company has yet to answer my email...

Peter white made the experience what it was. His costumes, his pageantry, and not to mention his vast knowledge and passion for Salem's REAL history (what the other institutions of Salem will not admit to). Go to Peter. He will show you the real Salem.

Historian, Eric, gave our small group of six a fabulous historical account of Puritan life and prejustices against the so-called witches. Eric led us on a 1 1/2 hour walking journey, sharing his tremendous knowledge of Salem history. We were so lucky to have been a part of Eric's day walk tour. Thank you Eric! Thank you for sharing your... More

The description specifically says ghost tour! This was NOT a ghost tour. This was a "talk about random British history and Giles Corey" tour. This was so boring! DO NOT take this tour. It is NOT worth more than a bag of garbage!
