Atmospheric, quality, well-researched, spoooky ghost tour backed by history. Truth is really stranger than fiction! Our tour guide, Vinn, was in total command of his material, and clearly has a love for Salem's deep history. He was lively, interacted with the audience, and engaged with everyone of all ages. Jump scares not needed at all. After a bit i didn't want to look into darkened windows! Value for money - we walked Salem at night for 1.5 hours - to spots that, during the day I probably would just have given passing glance and afterwards felt I had a deeper appreciation of downtown Salem. The operator's store - Black Cat Curiousities Shoppe - is another character in and of itself - it's full of unique objects some of "mysterious" origins - don't miss a visit. Overall, five stars!
Jack was very funny! Enjoyed the stories and them being told in the dark was added to the atmosphere.
Learned more about people/events that happened in Salem, had an enjoyable evening.
Our guide Vin was fantastic! We participated in the 8pm tour and it did not disappoint. Great stories, good pace, and the best part was our 12 year old son throughly enjoying the tour! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a tour while in Salem!!
Vin was awesome - personable, informative, animated and entertaining. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. Thank you for a great experience.
The tour started okay with a couple of jokes and a couple of ghost story’s and then it quickly went downhill. There was little talk about ghosts for the rest of the tour. Half of the tour was spent plugging different books on Amazon or other touristy shops. The last stop was utter garbage and was just a retelling of pirates of the Caribbean. The most interesting part was doing Pokémon go raid battles while the tour guide was rambling about the book he wrote.
Excellent tour. It is operated out of Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe (which is the most authentic Salem shop in my opinion - not a tourist trap). The owners take great care and take history seriously. You won’t get gimmicks or over-exaggerated nonsense. The history is rich enough, and spooky/gory/tragic enough to stand on its own. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge about Salem and history in general. I took both their 8:00 tour and the 10:00 “adults only” and I got different stops and stories respectively. If you’re on the fenced, let this be your sign to book!! It’s clear this is their passion.
Such a fun experience... our guide {I think Daniel... apologies it was a few weeks ago and I'm of an age} was very informative re the history of Salem(not just ghouls and ghosts)... He made the tour fun and a real highlight of Salem.. I thoroughly recommend if you're interested in the history of Salem, the Witch Trials and the grizzly ghostly happenings in Salem. Thank you from Jennifer & Gordon {Scotland}
This ghost tour was fun and family friendly. Entertaining, interesting, and a little scary. It was a good mix of history and ghost stories, just the right length. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging.
The Blackcat tour was awesome. It was very informative, and our tour guide Vincent was absolutely the best. He was funny, captivating, and thorough. His story-telling and delivery of information was a huge standout, we had a great time learning about the history and ghost stories that were told in the tour.
