Best tour experience ever!! - This guy was extremely knowledgeable, love the way he spoke. He’s the real deal. No fluff. We learned so much and my jaw was on the floor almost the entire tour. So fascinating!!! He also had a great sense of humor and went out of his way to keep the large group safe while walking around the streets.

Creepy but not too much - Really enjoyed this tour. As others stated it is mostly ghost stories, a little about vampires, almost nothing about voodoo. Yes, you stand in parking lots and look at buildings but it only takes a little imagination to envision the way it was in the past when the stories take place. Tour guide Dr. Vitka is a paranormal investigator with legends, stories and personal accounts to share. I got goosebumps a few times. He will even stay after to look at your photos for paranormal activity. My friend and I enjoyed it and are glad we booked it. Two thumbs up!

It was Great - On my visit to Salem, I wanted to make sure I got a local, non-big company tour. I did some research and found Spellbound and saw it met that and was highly rated and booked the 8pm walking tour. I've been to lots of ghost tours all over the country, and I have to say this was one of the best. The stories, the ambiance, the care for the safety of the group, it was great all around. Our guide was a wonderful gentleman who was informative and set the mood perfectly. I'm recently divorced so this was my first alone vacation and was feeling uneasy about doing these things alone, but I'm glad I did. Also, he had a cool top hat. I would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Salem and get a great evening tour.

Day Tour - Not very interesting. Maybe it would be better at night. Only stopped at a few buildings. The tour guide, John, did the best with what he had to work with. A huge plus was him showing pictures at the end of the tour. It's very easy to walk.

Spend the money elsewhere. - Spent a lot of money to visit parking lots, office buildings, steps, and a couple alleys of insignificance. Tour guide was as entertaining as he could be considering.
