Awesome tour and guide - Raymond was our tour guide and he was excellent. He was knowledgeable, funny and very personable. Highly enjoyed this experience and highly recommend. On a side note the owner of this tour went out of his way to help a debacle of a tour next door that my husband and I were going to when there was an issue with the tour guide as soon as the tour started. Even though we weren’t going on his tour he still stepped in and helped the group with that situation. Great owner and great guides.

Salem Halloween season walking tours - About an hour long. Crowded this time of year, so a lot of competing tours talking over one another. Still, fun time and interesting stories. And all tours seem to focus on different things. I would recommend the night tours to enhance the experience

Do not buy online - First of all we did enjoy our walking tour of Salem with Penelope. She was both entertaining and knowledgeable. The issue we had was the ticket, we were told if we didn’t get them ahead of time they would sell out, so we purchased them for 30 dollars a piece not including taxes and “fees”, when we arrived at the pick upspot, they were being sold for 20$ each. That is a crazy difference, when we asked about this they said it was due to online fees… a couple dollars I can understand but over 10$ per ticket was a rip off. My advice is to NOT buy them online.

Not what I expected- not good for kids - This company was very helpful on the phone and even with giving me advice about other things to do in Salem, but the tour was not kid friendly or interactive as expected. It was probably the tour guide we had, who had a specialty in pirate history, but even the adults were bored. Spent a long time at each stop and was repetitive. The guide was not interactive and very dry in my opinion. I had higher expectations because I did a lot of research and read so many reviews and finally chose this company. I specifically asked if it was kid friendly. We actually left the tour halfway through and walked through Salem.
