The guides absolutely make this experience, and the enthusiasm they bring is infectious. Scott gets mentioned repeatedly for his passionate, humorous delivery that makes Salem's dark history come alive in the most engaging way. Elaina earns praise for her storytelling skills and genuine knowledge about the city's spooky past, often sharing ghost photos after tours. Other guides like Penelope, Stacey, Sebastian, and Chris all receive glowing mentions for their energy and expertise. This walking tour strikes a nice balance between informative history and spooky entertainment, making it a highlight for many visitors' Salem trips. The pacing works well, covering key sites while leaving guests inspired to explore more of the town afterward. Several reviewers mention bringing kids along successfully, and the tours tend to spark deeper interest in Salem's fascinating past. A couple travelers did run into issues with severe weather and strict cancellation policies, something to keep in mind when booking. Overall though, if you catch one of their passionate guides on a decent weather night, you're in for a memorable evening.
We had a great time during our Salem Night Tour with Scott. HE DID NOT SUCK! I had the best time with such an informative and passionate person who was able to bring the history of salem in a way that was humorous and engaging. His tour inspired my group to go even further and walk through the entirety of the town itself, appreciating every turn. This trip has now launched an obsession with the history of Salem and I will 100% be back again all thanks to Scott and his impeccable delivery. THANK YOU SCOTT!
