Unique - I truly enjoyed this walking tour! Ed was very friendly and very knowledgeable about local stories, sights, and history. The tour took us through parts of Salem that we had not visited yet and gave more details than any other tour. We ended the tour at The Chamber of Terrors with real haunted objects, which was very cool!

Worth it! - This was a very fun tour, loved the atmosphere since it was at night. Loved the vampire fangs that our tour guide Ed had, loved that touch. Favorite part was the cursed items and the place they were held. Overall such a great tour 👍

Awesome informative tour! - We ended up being the only two people on a 7 PM tour in September with Ed and we enjoyed it SO much! Ed was very knowledgeable and took us to all the spots you’d want to go to and gave us the inside scoop. Not only was he able to answer any questions we had but he was also able to elaborate well. At the end of the tour we went through the chamber of terrors which was an awesome haunted house with REAL haunted objects to add to the creepiness of the house. Ed is a professional in the haunt industry with over 32 years of experience and definitely knows what he’s talking about. I expect this tour to get very popular in years to come.

The Real Salem - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The guide was knowledgeable about Salem in a way that encompassed history up to present times. It was a great experience for us visitors to get a real sense of the city in a short time.

Excellent walking tour - a highlight of our trip to Salem. - This was one of the highlights of our trip to Salem. The tour is informative, spooky and so much fun. We did a lot of different museums and tours in Salem but the stories we heard on this walking tour were unique. The tour concludes with a fun surprise (but no spoilers here).

Bad Tour Guide - I genuinely believe the tour guide you have makes or breaks a tour so I’m not putting 1 star (would love to try again with a different guide). Our tour guide Edward spoke extremely fast and not loud enough for the group to understand half of what he was saying. He walked very quickly and multiple times those in the group had to tell him to wait because he was missing people. He also confused information and directly told my partner Nathaniel Hawthorne didn’t write the Scarlet Letter??? Other stories seemed combined or misinformed compared to other tour information/previous knowledge. Hopefully this was a bad day for him, but posting this in case this is his norm. Wishing we had another day to do this tour with someone else. We simply didn’t finish and left halfway through because we could not understand half of the stories due to his voice volume. Also of note if you are using Apple Maps, the location of the statue is on the median of the boulevard. 20 Hawthorne is not in between buildings. Disappointed at the ending of our day.

Don’t do it! - Our “vampire” Edward, started the tour telling us he walked fast, that was an understatement as we were practically sprinting to keep up with him. He also insisted on having everyone so close that I could smell the person next to me shampoo. It made the experience very uncomfortable. When it came to the actual tour we were very disappointed because it was more like a résumé of what he did at each of the shops when he was working there or how he knew someone who worked there. The entire tour was a collection of his random personal experiences while he was working as a special effects haunted house guy. He even told us that Gile’s Cory was 71 years old when in fact he was 81. His actual knowledge about historical events in Salem was extremely limited. It also was not scary at all. The haunted artifacts are at the end are five items in his business. It was a total waste of time and money.
