A great tour and experience. - Vin was a great guide! We knew as soon as we saw him we would enjoy our tour. The stories he told at each location were great. This was my 3 night tour in Salem over the last few years and I still learned something new. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend - This was a great tour! We heard some stories we hadn’t encountered around the town and the guide was extremely charismatic and kind. He gave several recommendations for other things to do throughout the tour and was great about offering directions and suggestions to people at the conclusion to make sure everyone got where they needed to go. With a big group, I appreciated that a microphone was used so I was able to hear everything. The tour is pretty long, but I liked that there were a few stops where those who needed to had the opportunity to take a seat. The guide took safety very seriously in crossing streets which was fantastic. Overall it was a great experience and while we passed several other tours operating all at the same time, I’d recommend this one!

Blue, Red, White and Black Ghosts - This was so much fun. We had a wonderful guide named Vin who told the best creepy story about The Smiling Man. We heard about, at least, a half dozen hauntings as well as the history and legend that surrounds them. I even needed to stop to meet the Blue Lady at Rockafella's after the tour.... the drink... I didn't see the actual ghost.

Fun tour with a knowledgeable guide - Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed seeing the spookier side of Salem, and hearing some of the rich history that comes with it. They also allowed us to bring our dog along, which made the experience better for us.

Was okay - The tour wasn’t as spooky as advertised and not as many haunted spots as I would have liked. Probably wouldn’t recommend it.
