Requiem for Salem Walking Ghost Tour

Had a great time on the ghost tour. Brian was a great tour guide and very entertaining. Really enjoyed learning about the rich history of Salem and how the historical elements were intertwined with the ghost stories.

Skylar was our tour guide and what a GEM. Very knowledgeable about Salem and happy to answer all questions. He was friendly and made learning history fun! Highly recommend.

Our tour guide, I forget her name, was amazing! If someone from the tour could give her the credit she is due we went 10/3 at 6 pm. We went to about 10 places and she told us all kinds of ghost stories mixed with history. After the tour I was trying to look up the people she was talking about and it was mainly little knows factoids from a paranormal investigator (her). Loved this! Highly recommend!!!

We were there the night of the parade we came from KS and made it to the starting point by 8:00 knowing to leave early to cross the parade route. We get there only one guide is there, the other guide was 15 minutes late so we could not start without her. They divided us into groups of 30 our guide was the one that was late Cybel- we could not hear her and she walked so fast so she could make up time. We were basically just walking and not hearing any info - and by end of tour she had 11 people remaining because everyone left. She was terrible, the tour was terrible and the company should be embarrassed how this went.

Our 8:00 PM tour guide was very nice, but unfortunately, the tour itself was not what we expected. The guide was extremely theatrical in his storytelling, and we found the presentation to be quite dull. The tour began at the cemetery, and I initially thought the first story had a lot of potential. However, once the storytelling style became apparent, I realized this particular tour just wasn’t for me. After about an hour and a half, we were so bored and disappointed that we decided to leave approximately 30 minutes before the tour ended. What was especially disappointing was the “100% money-back guarantee” advertised on the company’s homepage. When we called about a refund, we were told that the guarantee only applies if you stay for the entire tour. In my opinion, advertising a “100% money-back guarantee” without making that significant condition clear is misleading. If someone is genuinely unhappy with the experience and leaves because the tour isn't what they expected, I would expect the guarantee to apply. Our guide was a very nice person, but the style and content of the tour simply weren't enjoyable for us. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this tour.

Fun and spooky ghost stories mixed with history!

Unfortunately, we made a long trip to visit Salem and stressed to make the tour just in time, only to be severely disappointed... Our tour guide was very polite and friendly however overall, the experience was extremely poor. The story jumped around all over the place and they mentioned their personal life, we did loops around the same area (which felt like it was made up on the spot) rather than a route that felt planned and followed a story and it felt very chaotic. Our tour guide spoke forwards while walking ahead of the group which meant a lot of us couldn’t really hear what they were saying and there were no real theatrics or ‘spookiness’ to their stories. It was not engaging and we booked the ‘adult’ evening option as a chance to be a little spooked and entertained. I found myself engaging with other tours that we came up against as they were louder, far more entertaining and factual. I will not be recommending this to anyone and left extremely, extremely disappointed as it ruined my trip as it was my only chance to see Salem.

Definitely not worth the $70 I paid for the walking tour. Meeting area was on a narrow sidewalk and another tour guide got nasty with us (the group) to move, but we had no where to go. Our tour guide was friendly, but the stories were repetitive and things we had already heard in other attractions. I expected different vibes for this tour as it was meant to be an “adults only” but felt the exact opposite. Struggled to keep my attention for the hour & a half - wish I could get my money back.

The tour was fun and lively. I would have liked to have been given the reason why the haunted places were haunted. Even if it's a historically accurate ish guess.. also loved that she had an actual lantern. The previous guides lantern didn't work. Suggestion: With 40 in a group, and at the pace we were moving, we missed quite a lot the guides were saying. I would suggest a functioning head set used by every tour guide. Also, it would have been more of a fit for the area and history to encourage ( highly, like with a bonus or something) to encourage employers dress more to the tour specifics ( timeframe/ theme etc) A solar lit footpath for safety would be greatly appreciated, especially for disabled, elderly, pregnant women and those with sight or balance issues. You could even generate those tours earlier in the evening? Ok and this one- we took several tours. Most covered the exact same spots. Not one guide offered the same info. Most stories weren't even similar. * Please list your stops per tour so those with less time in Salem can take the best tour decision for use of time for their $.😉 Having the tour guides brush up only on real or close to true/ directly related facts pertaining to the tours and leaving additional propaganda or non factual information out that does not directly tie to the specific tour could shorten the tour and leave us with a better connection of the area. - tourists don't need to be given biased info, just the facts and let them decide the fates. This concept offers us something to discuss after and keeps the thrill going, making us want to check out other tours or etc that you offer ! Over all 4 out of 5; however I think with those few, small changes.. you'll all rock every tour you give and obtain repeat customers! One last thing- when booking one of your tours, automatically suggest to the buyer other tours, museums, etc, that is offered by your company, but specify a different route with different buildings, shops, areas etc. I would've bought two tours right off the bat with more upfront information. I'm excited to see you prosper! Best to you, Kindly and blessed be, WolfsMoon 😀❤️🌙🪄🧹

We had the best tour guide (I believe her name was Rowan). She provided an awesome tour and environment. I would highly recommend!
