If you’re looking for the best walking tour in Salem, this is it! From the moment our tour guide Bob stepped out we knew this was gonna be a fun one. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and left us feeling smarter about the witch trials and why they happened? He also left us with recommendations that were top-tier on places to go, etc. Very thankful we found this tour on accident and highly recommended it to anyone looking for something to do in Salem that is historically accurate. My only regret is that when I went to tip my tour guide at the end of the night for his amazing tour and knowledge I couldn’t find his Venmo? 10/10 would recommend.

We did the 1692 Witchcraft Walk tour tonight and it was INCREDIBLE. We almost cancelled because the weather was atrocious, but the storm cleared right as our tour was about to begin and we luckily had a private tour with just my husband and our delightful guide. She was so knowledgeable and told us so many stories and answered all of our questions. I know ghost tours are fun, but I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a real historical account of Salem.

I’ll admit it — I totally conned my husband into going on the Ghost Walk in Salem when he really didn’t want to. Turns out, it was one of the best decisions of our trip! What we expected to be just a spooky walk ended up being an incredibly interesting and informative dive into Salem’s rich (and eerie) history. Our guide was entertaining, knowledgeable, and did a great job blending ghost stories with real historical facts. We learned so much in such a short amount of time, and it was the perfect way to experience Salem when you’re limited on time. By the end of the tour, even my husband was glad we went. Highly recommend this ghost walk — fun, fascinating, and absolutely worth it!

We were able to be added with ease to an evening tour. Not only did we find a witch hat souvenir, but we found a book Author and Stash as a tour guide. Stash is a stand up comedian, natural storyteller and entertainer. He shared a dynamic ghost tour experience! Best tour my husband and I have ever been on. Each places we stopped was uniquely creepy and full of stories we hadn’t heard yet even after spending a whole day in Salem. Highly recommend!

My partner and I went last night and our tour guide Bob was AMAZING!! We are in town for a concert and wanted to check out Salem as we are from Buffalo. We were the only two in the group so it felt a lot more personal and great. He was so fun and knowledgeable about the area and about Salem’s ghosts, and more. I recommend anyone to go on this tour with him! He is so wonderful. He answered all our questions and showed us pictures of the places shown with apparitions. My partner and I are definitely going to come back with some our friends and request him if we can next time we are in Salem.
